Log out

When you need to fully sign out — for example, if you're handing the phone to someone else, or you need to log in as a different user.

How

  1. Tap the More tab
  2. Scroll to the bottom
  3. Tap the red Log out button

You're immediately taken back to the login screen.

What log-out does

  • Clears your session token
  • Clears your cached PIN hash
  • Clears the last-login-email shortcut (so the next user isn't greeted by your email)
  • Clears the biometric enrolment flag
  • Keeps any pending offline items (check-ins, leave, expense) — if the next user is you again and you log back in, they'll still be there waiting to sync

What log-out does NOT do

  • It doesn't delete your data on the server
  • It doesn't clear your check-in history, leave applications, or payslips (those live on the server and reappear on next login)
  • It doesn't uninstall the app
  • It doesn't clear files already saved to your Documents folder (e.g. downloaded payslip PDFs)

Before logging out: sync first

If you have pending offline items in the queue, they will still be there after logout — but they can only sync while you're logged in. Best practice:

  1. Make sure the sync bar says "Synced now" before logging out
  2. If it says "3 changes pending", tap it and wait for sync to complete
  3. Then log out

This avoids situations where someone else logs in, syncs their data, and your queued items stay stuck.

Session timeout vs log-out

These are different:

  • Session timeout (~2 hours of inactivity) — the app asks for your PIN / biometric again, but you stay logged in. Fast to unlock.
  • Log out — full sign-out; next time you need your password.
