Common questions

Does it track me when I'm not working?

No. The agent only captures data when a tracking session is actively running. You start and stop it manually — nothing happens in the background outside a session.

What data does it collect?

Active app name, window title, screenshots (at configurable intervals), and idle/active time. Your workspace admin controls exactly what's captured. Nothing is ever sold or shared.

Does it work without internet?

Yes. The agent stores all data locally and syncs when the connection is restored. You won't lose any tracked time due to network issues.

How do I uninstall it?

Standard uninstall through your OS (Add/Remove Programs on Windows, drag to Trash on Mac, or delete the AppImage on Linux). All local data is removed automatically.

Ready to get started?

Download the agent, sign into your workspace, and start tracking in under 2 minutes.
