"My Entire Business Grows on Desktime!"

I started using Desktime even before the pandemic, but I implemented it very seriously after the lockdown. Since then, it is one of the tools, I rely on for productivity and effectiveness for my entire team of 50. I recommend Desktime hands down to anyone who is in remote/hybrid work culture.

"Really helps with time and task management"

I'm able to accurately track where time is being spent effectively and which applications are unproductive. Having a view of this helps with managing projects and time more effeciently. Really good tool for increasing productivity especially with a team of remote workers.

Oliver C.

Business Owner, Small-Business

"The best time tracker out there"

I love how easy it is to log time. It logs everything you do on your computer, so if you forgot to track time for a certain project you can figure out later exactly when you started based on your activity, and add it manually. It has a superb dashboard and top-notch customer service.

"Employee productivity tracking made easy."

Desktime provided us with a one-stop solution for time tracking including log-in & log-off timing. We could easily monitor an individual's productivity. It gave us good insight into who is "Working late" instead of "Staying Late".

Suraj J.

Admin, Small-Business

"Improved our team productivity"

Our productivity has greatly risen. Within the team, there was a competitive atmosphere, and we were focused on achieving excellent results. According to our own business, we have discovered unproductive apps. We are extremely pleased with the outcome.

"Great to know effectivity, and productivity without being invasive"

I like how user-friendly it is, I can get very insightful reports about my team's performance just with a couple of clicks. I've been able to determine downtime, training needs, and any gaps that can help me optimize my team's performance.

"Extensive time tracking capabilities"

We used to use a lot of time tracking tools that came integrated with task managers, but none of those compare to what DeskTime offers. The automatic time tracking with the idle time tracking function is a revolutionary feature that allows us to measure the productivity levels of our employees.

"Very helpful tool, a game changer for remote work!"

Desktime is an amazing tool that every company need for working remotely. The features like daily and monthly productivity as well as the reporting, create an accurate and complete profile of every employee.

Things worth knowing about using a time tracker

How does using a time tracker improve productivity?

This self-analysis will motivate both you and your employees to do better and avoid any unnecessary and unproductive actions like those well-known “fast and easy” 5-minute jobs many of us are often asked to do. Employees who track time can note how much these extra jobs actually take up their day and be able to make better decisions on whether it’s worth interrupting their workflow.

What features to look for in time tracking software?

The first and foremost features you should pay attention to are the time tracking abilities themselves. Some apps like DeskTime let you track time automatically without any manual input necessary (but note that manual time tracking for time spent away from the computer is also available). Other apps track time using start/stop timers, which means you must remember to mark the beginning and end of your activities; otherwise, the data will be skewed, defeating the purpose of time tracking. Most apps also offer team management, project tracking, and other features, so it's all about your team's specific needs.

What is DeskTime used for?

DeskTime is a time tracking app whose purpose is to provide its users with insights into their work patterns – how much time they spend working, how productive they are, how many hours go into specific projects, and more. For managers, DeskTime is a handy tool to help oversee and organize their teams, spotting the best performers and slackers, etc. DeskTime can be particularly helpful if you're managing a remote team – you can rest assured that even though your teammates are not in front of you, they're still getting the job done.

What does the Dashboard indicate?

The Dashboard is an overview section for how the entire company is doing for the selected day. This section is only available to the Company owner and admins. Below the employee statistics, you can also see how much time the company has spent on specific applications, divided into categories of Productive, Neutral, and Unproductive. Any suspicious or unproductive screenshots will be shown at the very bottom of the Dashboard if screenshots have been enabled. Under the title Dashboard, you can select a specific team to view the stats, excluding all other employees from the statistics.

What can I do with integrations?

DeskTime integrations allow you to bring your time and project management applications together to track time efficiently. There are two types of integrations available - Calendar integrations and Project app integrations. Calendar integrations automatically apply events to your offline times, as scheduled in the calendar. Project app integrations allow you to use DeskTime to track time for projects created in those applications. Using the project tracker, your employees can log time to those projects in DeskTime.
