Full Visibility Into How Your Team Works
Give your team the monitoring software that reveals real performance—screens, activity, apps, websites, tasks, attendance, and AI insights.
Smart Monitoring with AI
Go beyond basic tracking with AI-powered employee monitoring software. Your AI assistant proactively monitors team health and sends alerts when intervention is needed.
Screenshot Monitoring
See real work as it happens with clear, blurred, or video screenshots captured at custom intervals.
Real-Time Monitoring
See what’s happening across your team the moment it happens through real-time monitoring—a live view of ongoing work activity, including current tasks, active apps, open websites, activity levels, attendance status, and recent screenshots.
App & Website Monitoring
Monitor which applications and websites employees use, categorize them as Productive, Neutral, or Non-Productive, and generate detailed reports showing exactly where time goes.
Activity Tracking
Track mouse, keyboard, and engagement patterns to measure real activity levels and eliminate guesswork.
Unusual Activity Detection
Identify and resolve abnormal work patterns such as artificially high activity, suspiciously consistent input, late-night work sessions, or sudden productivity drops that may indicate issues.
Professional-Grade Employee Monitoring for Remote and Office Teams
Whether you manage a fully remote team, a hybrid workforce, or in-office employees on company devices, WebWork’s employee monitoring software is fully configurable—from visible timers to completely silent tracking, from clear screenshots to privacy-first blur modes.
Visible Time Tracking
Keep employee work monitoring transparent and collaborative. Team members can see when tracking is active, review their own time and activity, and control when to start or stop tracking (if you allow it). Ideal for teams that value trust, autonomy, and shared responsibility over performance.
Silent Monitoring
Use silent tracking on company-owned devices when you need uninterrupted, accurate data. The tracker runs in the background without pop-ups or interface elements, giving you reliable employee tracking software for compliance, security, and performance monitoring, fully managed by you or managers.
Clear Screenshots
Capture high-resolution screenshots that show exactly what’s happening on each screen. Pair them with app and website usage and activity levels and you will turn your screen monitoring software into a full-context employee evaluation software for audits, client billing, and quality control.
Blurred Screenshots
Protect sensitive information while preserving accountability. Blurred screenshots are perfect for privacy-conscious teams as they let you verify that employees are working on the right tools and tasks without exposing confidential data, personal messages, or private customer records.
Video Screenshots
Go beyond single snapshots with short video-like screenshot sequences. These provide richer context around work sessions, making your employee screen monitoring software and work tracking software ideal for detailed reviews, training, and investigating unusual behavior or productivity issues.
Multi-Layer Security Keeps Monitoring Data Protected
Employee monitoring is only effective when it’s secure, compliant, and built on trust. WebWork uses industry-leading protection systems to keep every screenshot, activity log, and work session safe.
Multi-Step Screenshot Encryption
Every screenshot captured through WebWork undergoes a multi-step encryption process. This ensures screenshots cannot be intercepted, altered, or viewed by anyone outside your chosen access group.
Meets Global Privacy Standards
WebWork’s employee work monitoring software meets global privacy and data protection regulations like GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA. You control what's captured, how long it's retained, and who can access it. Implement employee work monitoring that aligns with your industry's regulatory requirements and company privacy policies.
Access Control
Decide exactly who sees screenshots, activity logs, app usage, or personal data. Assign permissions by member type to ensure monitoring remains ethical, relevant, and tightly controlled. Sensitive data stays where it belongs—with the people responsible for managing it.

What is employee monitoring software and how does it work?
Employee monitoring software tracks employee work activities through screenshots, activity tracking, app and website monitoring, and time tracking. WebWork's employee monitoring tool works by recording when employees are working, capturing optional screenshots at custom intervals, analyzing keyboard and mouse activity, monitoring which applications and websites are used, and generating detailed reports. You get complete visibility into productivity patterns, work habits, and performance metrics to make informed management decisions.
Is employee monitoring legal, and how does WebWork handle privacy concerns?
Yes, employee monitoring is legal in most countries when done transparently and in line with local regulations. WebWork’s employee surveillance software is fully compliant with GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA. You decide what to track, who can access data, how long it’s stored, and whether screenshots are clear, blurred, or replaced with activity-only data. This ensures ethical employee work monitoring with strict privacy boundaries.
How does employee screen monitoring software help improve productivity?
Employee screen monitoring software provides visual context into tasks, tools, and workflows. With WebWork, screenshots, activity levels, and app/website usage are combined into AI-generated performance insights. This helps managers identify bottlenecks, distractions, workload overload, or inefficiencies early—without micromanagement.
Can employees see that they're being monitored?
It depends on your configuration. With Visible Tracker mode, employees see the timer, receive screenshot notifications, and can review their own activity data. With Silent Tracker mode on company-owned devices, screen monitoring software runs invisibly in the background without interface elements or pop-ups. We recommend transparent communication regardless of which mode you choose—employees should always know monitoring is in place through clear written policies, even if they don't see active indicators during their workday.
How much does employee monitoring software cost?
WebWork offers the most affordable professional employee monitoring solution starting at $3.99/user/month for the Pro plan (includes screenshots, activity tracking, app monitoring, AI insights, and 3-month data retention). The Plus plan is $6.39/user/month (adds video screenshots, advanced reports, longer retention). The Premium plan is $7.99/user/month (includes full payroll, payments, and enterprise features). All plans include a 14-day free trial with no credit card required.
How do I communicate employee screen monitoring software to my team?
We recommend transparent, trust-building communication. Explain what will be monitored and why (accountability, productivity insights, client billing, security compliance). Show employees their own monitoring data so they understand what managers see. Document monitoring policies in employee handbooks with clear language about screenshots, activity tracking, and data usage. Emphasize privacy protections like blur mode, selective monitoring, and data security measures. Position monitoring as performance support rather than surveillance. Get written consent during onboarding. Our support team can help you develop communication strategies for your company culture.
Can I monitor remote employees differently than in-office employees?
Yes. WebWork allows you to configure remote employee monitoring tool settings per employee, project, team, department, or location. You might use full screenshot monitoring for remote contractors on client projects, activity-only tracking for trusted full-time remote employees, and minimal monitoring for in-office staff. You can enable silent tracking on company-owned devices while using visible mode for personal devices. The system is completely flexible to match your trust levels, privacy policies, and business needs across different workforce segments.
What's the difference between WebWork and other employee monitoring tools?
WebWork combines professional employee work monitoring with complete workforce management at 40-70% lower cost than competitors. Unlike basic monitoring tools, WebWork includes AI-powered insights that detect burnout and unusual activity automatically, all-in-one platform features including payroll, payments, and project management (not just tracking), fully configurable privacy controls with visible/silent modes and blur options, no per-screenshot fees or surprise charges with transparent pricing, and smart monitoring that provides actionable insights rather than just raw data collection.
Does employee work monitoring software improve productivity?
Yes, when implemented ethically with proper communication. Studies and our customer data show that transparent performance monitoring improves productivity by creating accountability during work hours, identifying time-wasting activities and productivity drains, helping employees understand their own work patterns through self-review, enabling data-driven performance conversations based on facts, detecting and preventing burnout before it impacts output, and optimizing workflows based on actual time data rather than assumptions. However, heavy-handed surveillance damages trust and morale. WebWork's approach balances visibility with privacy to support employees rather than just watch them.
