Complete Visibility into How Your Team Works
Productivity Insights Dashboard
In the Productivity Insights page you get to see detailed tracked time, workspace-average active and inactive time, a tasks overview, attendance data, app and website usage data, productivity benchmarks across industries, and everything else related to your team's performance. Three view modes let you approach the data at whatever level of detail you need: per member, per team, and per workspace.
See How Your Team Spends Time on Work-Mode Overview
Available on Plus and Premium plans, Smart Work-Mode Detection breaks down tracked time into five categories that reveal how your team actually spends its hours.
- Focus Time: high-activity periods where employees work without distractions
- Shallow Time: lower-activity work periods
- Meeting Time: scheduled calls and video meetings
- Breaks and Paid Time Off
- Undefined Time: manually added entries that don't fit into the other categories
Activity and Productivity Levels: Office vs Remote
Get visual comparison graphs that display activity and productivity differences between employees working on-site and those working remotely.
You can quickly identify productivity trends tied to where people work, make decisions about hybrid or remote policies based on real data, and spot engagement gaps early.
Benchmark Your Team's Productivity Against Industry Peers
To give you an idea of how your industry peer teams are performing, WebWork productivity tracking software can compare your productivity metrics against other WebWork users in similar roles, teams, and industries. Instead of guessing whether your numbers are strong or concerning, you can see exactly how they stack up.
Team Level
If you're looking at a Customer Success team's performance, the benchmark draws from other Customer Success teams across the workspace and the platform.
Workspace Level
The workspace level shows averages in your workspace and similar industry workspaces.
Understand Where Work Hours Go with App and Website Monitoring
See what apps and websites your employees use during active work sessions on Windows, macOS, and Linux. You get not only the platform title, but also the URLs if you are on the Plus or Premium plans.
Moreover, WebWork AI automatically categorizes every tracked platform as Productive, Neutral, or Non-Productive based on the team member's role. Figma, for example, is classified as Productive for a designer but Neutral for a support agent.

Measure Real Activity, Not Just Hours Logged
Combining tracked hours with activity levels shows you how engaged your employees are during work. WebWork measures activity based on mouse clicks, scrolls, and keystrokes during each tracked session, then categorizes each member as High, Medium, or Low activity with color-coded indicators.
Explore Activity TrackingProductivity Monitoring That Respects Privacy
Effective productivity monitoring depends on employee trust. WebWork gives you full control over what gets tracked, so you can create the right balance between visibility and privacy for each employee.
Time Tracking Methods
Choose between Automatic (continuous, employees cannot start or stop it), Manual (employees control start and stop), or Silent tracking (runs invisibly on company-owned devices). Each mode serves a different level of oversight and trust.
Category-Based Screenshot Blurring
Select app categories such as communication, social media, or messaging, and screenshots taken while those apps are in use will be blurred automatically. This allows you to verify work activity without seeing personal details.
Optional URL Tracking
Enable or disable URL monitoring for advanced tracking. When disabled, WebWork tracks app names and time spent without logging specific URLs.
Employee Wellness Reminders
Built-in wellness nudges remind employees to drink water, stretch, take a walk, or rest their eyes during work. A second set of reminders triggers when unhealthy work patterns are detected, such as extended periods without breaks.
Work-Life Balance Monitoring
Set a customizable healthy hours range per employee and receive per-employee work-life balance reports. WebWork's burnout risk detection automatically flags four warning signals: overworking beyond set daily hours, working irregular hours outside the schedule, lack of breaks within a set time window, and sustained high activity without pauses.
Enterprise-Grade Security for Your Productivity Data
WebWork is fully compliant with GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA, ensuring that productivity data is handled according to the strictest data protection standards. All communication through Team Chat is protected with end-to-end encryption.
Audit logs record every workspace-level change, including settings updates, member invitations and removals, contract modifications, and project creation or deletion. Time Edit Logs track every time entry addition, edit, and deletion with full details on who made the change and what was modified. Both logs are available on Plus and Premium plans.

AI-Powered Productivity Monitoring That Works for You
Automatic Work Categorization
WebWork AI classifies every app and website into groups like development, communication, management, etc. Then each tool as Productive, Neutral, or Non-Productive based on team member role. Classifications update automatically after 10+ minutes of use and require no manual configuration.
Smart Monitoring
An AI add-on available for $2.50/user/month, Smart Monitoring analyzes activity patterns and categorizes each member's performance into five levels: Positive, Neutral, Attention Needed, Negative, or Irregular Activity Risk. Managers get a clear overview without needing to review individual activity logs.
Daily Activity Summaries
WebWork AI generates productivity summaries for each team member and emails them to managers autonomously. These summaries highlight key metrics, flag concerns, and save managers the time of reviewing raw activity data.
Burnout and Irregular Pattern Detection
The AI monitors for signs of overwork, unusual activity patterns, and potential scripted behavior. It flags high activity above 95% sustained for 45+ minutes (possible auto-clickers), input fluctuation below 4% over an hour (possible scripted behavior), and high mouse usage with minimal keyboard input.
Break Pattern Analysis
WebWork AI analyzes break patterns across the team and detects irregularities that may indicate time-tracking manipulation or unhealthy work habits.
Chat AI Assistant
Ask questions about team performance, request custom reports, or create tasks directly from WebWork's built-in Team Chat. The AI assistant responds with data-backed answers drawn from your workspace's tracked activity.
Your Agentic AI Assistant for Productivity Monitoring
WebWork AI works on its own identifying productivity issues, predicting performance trends, detecting burnout risks, and delivering personalized recommendations through periodic or event-based emails. It can create standups, generate strategies, and flag problems before they affect deadlines or team wellbeing.

More Than Just Productivity Monitoring Software
Real Teams, Real Productivity Results
The most valuable features for us are the activity tracking and screenshots. We can instantly see how active an employee was and what they were working on—without interrupting their flow. We saw a significant boost in productivity after switching to WebWork.
We now rely on weekly activity level reports to track employee productivity. It's no longer about assumptions—everything is supported by actual data. WebWork helped us shift from manual checks to a more transparent and efficient system.
With WebWork I no longer need to chase spreadsheets. The tracker tells me everything I need such as exactly how many hours each project is burning and how productive each team member is—game-changing for our budget and schedules.

How does productivity monitoring software track employee activity?
WebWork measures activity through mouse clicks, keyboard strokes, and scrolls during tracked work sessions.

What is the Benchmarking feature in WebWork?
Benchmarking is a Plus and Premium feature that compares your team's productivity metrics against other WebWork users in similar roles, teams, or industries. At the member level, WebWork matches by job title. At the team level, it matches by team mission or name. At the workspace level, it compares against organizations in the same industry.

It helps you understand whether your team's hours are spent in concentrated work or spread across less productive activities.

Yes. The Office vs. Remote section on the Productivity Insights page provides visual graphs comparing activity and productivity levels between employees working on-site and those working remotely. This data can support evidence-based decisions about hybrid and remote work policies.
Is employee productivity monitoring legal?
