A seamless workflow and healthy work-life balance for every employee

Flexible schedule

Time tracking is proof-of-work and DeskTime's time tracker gives you just that – you can plan your schedule independently, while your manager can simply follow your progress no matter where you are and when you choose to work.

Regular break reminders

Our time tracker uses the Pomodoro timer that will keep a cautious eye on your workload and remind you to take regular breaks so you don't lose focus all the while maintaining healthy habits and mental well-being.

Private time

DeskTime's Private time feature disables the website and time tracking for when you have to take care of non-work-related tasks during office hours. Employees can feel safe knowing their privacy is protected.

No more unbilled hours

Employee time is pure gold when it comes to resource planning. DeskTime's time tracker even lets you add time spent offline like in meetings, brainstorms, or on work calls so no billable hours go unnoticed.

Things worth knowing about using a time tracker

DeskTime time tracker is a powerful tool for enhancing productivity and promoting work-life balance by accurately monitoring and analyzing how individuals allocate their time during work hours.
A time tracker is a software tool designed to help individuals and teams monitor and manage how they allocate their time throughout the day. People track their time by using the time tracker tool to log their activities, tasks, and projects, typically by starting and stopping timers or manually inputting time spent on various activities. This allows users to gain insights into their productivity levels, identify time-wasting activities, and make more informed decisions about how to prioritize tasks and manage their workload effectively.
Solutions like DeskTime offer comprehensive features for accurately monitoring and managing work time for both individuals and teams. Simply log into the app and start using the time tracker by initiating timers or manually inputting time spent on various tasks. Using time tracking software like the DeskTime time tracker, you can easily track your own work time or oversee your team's productivity, ensuring efficient time utilization and maximizing 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 access accurate productivity calculations to 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.
Yes! Using a time tracker can help highlight overachievers and spot team members who are struggling or might need some extra help. This is a great way to catch and prevent burnout, as well as rethink resource distribution.
First thing’s first – DeskTime is certainly not a spy tool, but it’s no secret that some might use time recording apps to track online activity in ways that aren’t employee-friendly. Managers have the right to know how their employees get the job done, but it's imperative to also value your team's time and privacy while monitoring employees. That's why DeskTime even has a Private time feature that disables the time tracker for when you have to take care of non-work-related tasks during office hours.
You have to remember that using a work time tracker is a two-way street of communication, so it’s best to lead by example. Yes, it gives managers an overview of what their employees are doing during the workday, but it’s also a tool to help employees show their progress and ask for help if needed. Be transparent and honest about implementing team time tracking and take the time to show its benefits. For example, DeskTime lets you set break reminders, encourage private time, and eliminate overworking so your team members feel rested, valued, and safe.
