WorkTime is an employee monitoring tool designed to track attendance, computer activity, and productivity levels. It uses a non-invasive approach, which means it does not record screen images, passwords, or the content of messages and emails, focusing instead on activity metadata.
The software supports Windows, macOS, and Terminal/Citrix deployments and can be hosted in the cloud or on-premise. It is designed for business owners, department leads, and HR managers across various company sizes.
It helps managers identify active and idle time, monitor software and website usage, and detect overtime. It also includes AI-powered suggestions to help classify apps and websites as productive or unproductive based on company needs.
