Features

Everything you need to manage the workday

Time tracking, employee monitoring, project management, attendance and payroll in one product, with privacy controls your employees can see.

Time tracking

Time tracking that runs itself

The desktop app records the workday in the background, so timesheets fill themselves. No timers to start, nothing to chase.

  • Active and idle time, recorded automatically
  • Apps and websites sorted into productive, neutral and unproductive
  • Works offline: time syncs once the connection is back
  • Employees can request offline time (meetings, calls) for approval
Team visibility

See your whole team at a glance

Productivity tracking for office and remote teams: who is working, idle or away right now, and what each person is focused on, without asking.

  • Live dashboard with each person’s status and current app
  • Alerts for late starts and long idle stretches, by email or webhook
  • AI summaries: a short written recap of each day
  • Daily and weekly reports per person, team and project
Screenshots

Employee monitoring, on your terms

Optional screenshots at a random moment in each interval, with the privacy controls a careful company needs.

  • Turn on per company, choose the interval
  • Blur screenshots for privacy
  • Retention you set; older ones are deleted
  • Employees see their own screenshots
Projects & payroll

From hours to projects and pay

Know where time goes by project, and turn worked hours into payroll without a spreadsheet.

  • Track time against projects and tasks
  • Warnings before a project budget runs out
  • Payroll from worked hours, with your own overtime rules
  • Export to PDF or CSV
Project management

Project management on Trello-style boards

Plan the work on Kanban boards right next to the hours it takes, so you do not need a separate project management tool.

  • Lists and cards with labels, checklists, due dates and attachments
  • Board, calendar, table and timeline views, and My tasks for each person
  • Time tracked on each card, per person
  • Automation rules, templates, and import from Trello
Attendance & leave

Attendance, leave and schedules in one calendar

Shifts, leave and public holidays live alongside the hours actually worked.

  • Shift schedules per team or person
  • Leave requests and approvals
  • Public holiday calendars
  • Kiosk check-in on a shared tablet for staff without a computer
