How reporting works with DeskTime

Here’s how DeskTime transforms your team’s time into clear reports and insights, and makes sharing effortless.

Automatic reports

DeskTime automatically tracks and analyzes your team’s time, turning daily activity into reliable data.

You get the insights

Use DeskTime Reports to view and compare your team’s data in clear charts and visuals.

Analyze and compare

Identify top performers, spot trends, and dive deeper into past time tracking data to make informed decisions.

Where is your team's time actually going?

DeskTime tracks time automatically across your whole team, no manual input needed. For teams of 20-100, that means your time tracking reports are always up to date, accurate, and ready to inform your next decision.

Spot patterns

When the same productivity dip appears every Monday or every Q4, you need data that goes back far enough to show it. DeskTime reports do.

Set benchmarks

Stop guessing what "good" looks like. Use historical data from your own team to define productivity goals that are grounded in reality.

Real-time data

The Reports section updates throughout the day, so you're never making decisions based on last week's spreadsheet.

A time tracker that won’t interrupt your team’s workflow. Ever.

Forget manual entries and distractions. With DeskTime, time tracking runs on autopilot—zero effort needed.

Clarity across teams of 20 to 100

Reports break down productivity by individual, team, and department, so managers know exactly where performance stands without chasing updates or running manual summaries.

Accountability grounded in data

When every team member's hours, productivity score, and app usage are visible in reports, accountability becomes a data conversation rather than a subjective one.

Frequently asked questions

DeskTime reports are the reporting view of DeskTime, an automatic time tracking software for productivity insights. They show where your team’s hours go, how much time goes into each project, and how work is distributed, all built from time tracked in the background with no manual timesheets.
DeskTime automatically attributes tracked hours to projects and tasks. Reports show the total project time, the number of active projects, and how this compares with earlier periods. Combined with project and cost tracking, this gives you a reliable basis for margins, billing, and pricing the next job.
Reports break the time down by apps and websites, grouped as productive, unproductive, or neutral, and by projects and tasks. You can see which tools take up the most time and how much of the workday goes into project work, by day, week, or month.
Each app and website is assigned a productivity category. Admins can adjust these categories in DeskTime settings to match how their team works. For example, a social media tool can count as productive for a marketing team and unproductive for developers.
Extra hours are time worked outside regular working hours, before or after the workday. The report shows these totals alongside offline time, Private Time, and project time, and lists the apps and websites used during extra hours. Over time, these working patterns help teams spot potential overwork early.
Yes. Reports can be viewed by day, week, or month, and you can move back through earlier periods. Comparing teams and time periods gives managers a consistent record for capacity planning and performance conversations, based on what actually happened rather than who looks busy.
No. DeskTime tracks work time automatically in the background, so reports are built without timers or manual timesheets. Reports update throughout the day, so the data is always current.
Private Time appears as a separate total in reports. While Private Time is on, DeskTime does not record app or website activity, so employees can pause tracking for personal tasks.
Yes. DeskTime is ISO 27001- and ISO 27701-certified, covering information security and privacy management. Reports are built only from tracked work time, and Private Time lets employees pause tracking whenever needed.
Yes. Go to Settings, then Profile, then Email preferences, and choose daily, weekly, or monthly delivery. Summaries of your data automatically arrive in your inbox.
Yes. Tracked data can be downloaded through DeskTime Exports for payroll, invoicing, or further analysis in other tools.
DeskTime often appears in the employee monitoring software category. In practice, it is automatic time tracking software for productivity insights: it tracks work time in the background, attributes hours to projects, and gives employees Private Time and access to their own data.
