Your employer may also require one type of client to be used to ensure activities are recorded. It would be best to consult them or [contact us](https://www.workstatus.io/contact) in case you’re not sure what application to download. Workstatus supports Mac and Windows operating systems for the desktop application, along with iOS and Android app for the mobile application. ### Installing and Signing into the Client Once you have downloaded the client, you will be prompted to install it. Click on the link below which will take you to the installation instructions page for each app: * [Android Mobile Client](https://support.workstatus.io/en/article/how-to-install-workstatus-on-my-android-device-1d3p1qm/) * [iOS Mobile Client](https://support.workstatus.io/en/article/how-to-install-workstatus-on-my-ios-device-11y1j3f/?bust=1683716292040) * [Windows client](https://support.workstatus.io/en/article/install-and-sign-in-into-windows-desktop-client-1xfyyhv/) * [OSX client](https://support.workstatus.io/en/article/install-and-sign-into-workstatus-mac-desktop-client-19x5isg/) * [Linux Desktop Client](https://support.workstatus.io/en/article/install-and-sign-in-into-linux-desktop-client-10cba3e/) ### Time Tracking After installing and signing in to the app, you are now ready to begin tracking time.
