FAQ
What is a desktop time tracker?
A desktop time tracker is software installed on Windows, Mac, or Linux computers that automatically records work hours, monitors keyboard and mouse activity, captures screenshots, and tracks which applications and websites employees use during work time.
How does desktop time tracking work?
Once installed, the WebWork desktop tracker runs in the background in either visible or silent mode. In visible mode, employees can start or stop the timer themselves, take breaks, and track time only when they choose. In silent mode, tracking runs automatically without employee interaction. In both modes, the tracker logs active applications, websites visited, captures screenshots at set intervals, and measures keyboard/mouse activity to determine productivity levels.
Does the desktop time tracker take screenshots?
Yes, WebWork's desktop tracker can capture up to 10 screenshots per 10-minute interval. You can choose from 4 modes: full screenshots, blurred screenshots, silent screenshots, or completely disable screenshot capture based on your privacy needs.
Can the desktop time tracker work offline?
Yes. WebWork’s desktop tracker continues to track time, activity levels, and screenshots even without internet access after the initial start with a connection. Once the device reconnects, all data is securely synced to your dashboard—ensuring nothing is lost.
What's the difference between visible and silent tracking modes?
Visible mode shows the tracker interface and allows employees to start and stop tracking manually. Silent mode runs completely hidden in the background with no visible interface, automatically tracking as the computer is turned on and is ideal for company-owned devices.
Does desktop time tracking slow down my computer?
No, WebWork uses minimal system resources, typically less than 1% CPU and under 100MB RAM. It's optimized to run efficiently in the background without affecting performance.
Which features are desktop-only?
Screenshots, keyboard/mouse activity monitoring, and detailed app/website usage tracking are exclusive to desktop platforms. Mobile and web versions offer basic time tracking without these advanced monitoring capabilities.
Can employees disable or manipulate the tracker?
In visible mode, employees can pause tracking for breaks but all actions are logged. In silent mode, the tracker runs as a system service that employees cannot disable. All tracking data is tamper-proof and stored securely.
How do I deploy the tracker to multiple computers?
Use our MSI package for mass deployment via Group Policy, MDM systems (Intune, JAMF), or remote deployment tools. For smaller teams, send bulk email invitations for self-installation. Both visible and silent modes support mass deployment.
Is desktop time tracking legal?
Yes, when employees are informed and consent to monitoring. Always check local labor laws and include monitoring policies in employment agreements. We recommend transparency, but silent mode is available for company-owned devices where discrete monitoring is required.
What data does the desktop tracker collect?
The tracker collects time worked, applications used, websites visited, activity levels (keyboard/mouse usage), and optional screenshots. All data is encrypted and belongs to your organization, with customizable privacy settings for different teams.
