Profile settings
Each user can set their preferences in the Profile settings. Settings are applied per-user basis.
Meaning, the changes you make will affect only you:
- Rearrange items in your sidebar by drag and drop
- Move items you rarely use to the Show more section
Access Profile settings by clicking on your profile in the upper left corner.
In Profile settings, you can choose to manage:
- My profile
- Preferences

Change language #
In addition to English, you can also use Clockify in your native language (French, German, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, Korean, Japanese). Change the interface language in your Profile settings.
If you invite a new user to your workspace, they’ll inherit your language setting during signup. They can change if they want to.
Desktop and mobile apps take language based on the operating system (profile settings are only applied to the web version).

Advanced settings #
Fine-tune your account in the Advanced settings section for enhanced security and efficiency. Find options like two-factor authentication (2FA), API key management, and webhooks configuration.
2FA #
Enable an extra layer of security by setting up 2FA. This adds an additional verification step when logging in. Each time you log in to Clockify, you’ll need to prove your identity by checking your email for a one-time login code (or a login link).
If a workspace requires 2FA, you’ll be asked to enable 2FA for your personal account and won’t be able to turn it off (as long as you’re part of that workspace).
To activate 2FA, follow these steps:
- Go to Preferences
- Select the Advanced tab
- In the Two-factor authentication section, toggle the switch to enable 2FA
- Confirmation code will be sent to your email
- Enter the code and confirm
As a result, you’ll need to enter a one-time login code upon logging in to the workspace.
API key #
Generate an API key to securely access and integrate with external applications or services.
- Navigate to Preferences
- Choose Advanced tab
- Find the API key section and click on Generate
- A window for generating the API key will appear
- Click on Generate
- Once the key is generated, close the window
Make sure you copy the key immediately or store it securely. Once the window is closed, the key will not be visible again.
Webhooks #
Create webhooks to receive real-time notifications and data updates.
- Navigate to Preferences
- Choose Advanced tab
- Find the Webhooks section and click on Manage webhooks
- You’ll jump to the Webhooks page
If you’re a member of multiple workspaces, you can choose the workspace you’d like to create the webhook for.
Follow these steps to set up webhooks:
- Go to Preferences
- Select the Advanced tab
- In the Webhooks section, click on Manage webhooks
- You will be redirected to the Webhooks page
If you are part of multiple workspaces, choose the relevant workspace.
To create a new webhook:
- Click on the Create new button at the top right corner
- In the Create webhook window, provide the following details:
Name: Specify a name for your webhook
Endpoint: Enter the webhook’s endpoint URL
Event: Choose the event that will trigger the webhook - Click on Create to complete the process
