Simplify Machinist Apprenticeship Tracking

Ditch Paper Hourbooks for Good

Paper binders get lost or damaged on the shop floor, delaying your machinist licensing. ApprenticeHourLog captures hours securely on your phone, with clear breakdowns for lathe, milling, and other categories.

No more manual entry or unclear tasks—log precisely what boards require, reviewed by your journeyman.

Access logs anytime, even offline, and sync when back online.

Manage Machinist Cohorts Effortlessly

For employers and unions: Invite your machinist apprentices, group into cohorts, and view progress in one dashboard.

Spot missing signatures or inconsistent categories before audits hit.

Export summaries for DOL compliance, EEO data, or wage reviews.

Built for Real Shop Conditions

Mobile-first for low-connectivity sites: Log hours fast, sign on-screen, or print and photo.

Unlike spreadsheets or generic trackers, it's tailored to US apprenticeship standards.

Always ready when the board calls—no more rework.
