Geppy's MailClock
Overview
Geppy's MailClock is a web-based tool designed to solve a specific problem: managing team schedules and tracking work hours without requiring employees to install new apps, create accounts, or log into a web portal. It uses AI to generate an "App-in-Email" that functions entirely within standard email clients (like Gmail or Outlook).
Core Concept
Instead of a traditional backend database, the app uses the Admin's Email Inbox as the database. It generates a sophisticated HTML email containing the weekly schedule and interactive "Clock In/Out" buttons.
Key Features:
Team Roster Management:
Admins can easily add and remove employees (Name and Email) via the web interface.
Visual Scheduler:
Admins can assign specific shifts (Day, Start Time, End Time) to employees using a simple dashboard.
Supports multiple shifts per employee.
AI-Generated "Email App":
The app utilizes Google's Gemini 2.5 Flash model to generate code for a professional, cross-client compatible HTML email.
This email serves as the "Employee Interface."
Zero-Infrastructure Time Tracking:
Interactive Buttons: The generated email contains specific "Clock In" and "Clock Out" buttons for each employee.
Mailto Actions: Clicking a button doesn't open a website; it triggers a mailto: link that opens a pre-filled email draft on the employee's device.
Data Capture: The pre-filled email body prompts the employee to:
Confirm the Time.
Manually type their Location (since GPS is blocked in emails) with the option to request for them the attache a photo for future metadata (photo location data) examination.
Add Comments (e.g., "Running late due to traffic").
Allows for expense tracking With a prompt to upload a photo of receipt or mileage proof.
Submission: The employee simply hits "Send," and the timestamped log arrives in the Admin's inbox.
Live Preview & Export:
Users can see a live preview of exactly how the email will look to their staff.
Provides the raw HTML code to copy and paste into an email client to send out to the team.
Use Case:
Ideal for small businesses, event coordinators, or field teams (like construction or catering) where setting up complex HR software is overkill, but a simple text message is too disorganized. It leverages the one tool everyone already has: Email.
