The Raken mobile app is built for the field. It's where your crew logs daily reports, tracks time, completes safety checklists, and captures photos — right from the jobsite. This article gives new users a quick orientation so they can find what they need from day one.

Quick Answer

The Raken mobile app is organized around a bottom navigation bar with four tabs:

Project Tools — Daily reports, work logs, time cards, safety, tasks, and documents
Time — Time management: Clock, Entries, Summary, and Review
Schedule — View upcoming shifts and assignments
More — My Time, Messages, Notifications, Settings, and Profile

Download from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and log in to get started.

The Bottom Navigation Bar

The four tabs at the bottom of the screen are your starting point for everything in Raken.

Project Tools

Your field reporting hub. Tap Project Tools to select a project and access all project-level tools, including Daily Logs, Safety & QC, Tasks, Forms, Documents, Gallery, and Project directory.

Tip: Time card entry is also available here via Daily Logs > Time Cards. This path also supports offline time entry.

Time

Your time management hub. The Time tab gives you four sub-tabs for managing time across your crew: Clock, Entries, Summary, and Review. You can create time cards for individual employees or entire crews from here.

Schedule

View your assigned schedule and upcoming shifts directly from this tab.

Access account-level settings and personal options including My Time, Messages, Notifications, Profile, and Help.

Inside a Project

When you tap a project in Project Tools, the main screen opens to the Daily Logs view for today. You'll see a date strip at the top to navigate between days, and a list of sections below.

What Workers See

The mobile app experience varies by role:

Project Workers — Access is limited to My Time (under More) and Schedule.
Project Members and above — Full access to Project Tools, Time, Schedule, and More.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

I can't see a project in Project Tools — why?

Employees must be assigned to a project by an Account Admin before it appears in their Project Tools.

Where do I clock in as a worker?

Tap More, then tap My Time. From there, tap the Clock tab and tap Clock In.

Where do I enter time?

Tap Time in the bottom nav and tap + to create a new time entry. You can also go to Project Tools > [Project] > Daily Logs > Time Cards to enter time from within a project.

Does the app work without an internet connection?

How do I sign and complete a daily report?

From inside a project in Project Tools, scroll to the bottom of the Daily Logs screen and tap Sign & complete. Review the report, add your signature, and tap Complete.
