# Timer Security

> Require location or a known network when starting a timer.

<Info>**Business plan and above.** Off by default — enable under **Settings → Modules**.</Info>

For teams whose billed hours need to withstand scrutiny, timers can require
proof of where they were started.

## Options

* **Location** — the browser must share location when a timer starts.
* **IP** — the timer must start from a recognised network.

Either or both.

## Before turning it on

<Warning>
  This changes daily habits for everyone who tracks time. Tell the team first,
  and be clear about what's collected — requiring location without explanation
  reads as surveillance rather than assurance.
</Warning>

Check your obligations too: collecting location data about employees carries
legal requirements in many jurisdictions.

## Field and remote teams

Location requirements suit on-site work. For distributed teams, IP restriction
tied to a VPN is usually the more workable control.
