Track each person the way their role, contract and country require.
Manual for people who start their own clock. Automatic for continuous-capture environments. Hybrid for most knowledge work. Silent only where law and device ownership allow. One workspace, one set of approved hours.
Manual Mode
Press Start; nothing is recorded until you do.
- Best for
- Freelancers, agencies, consultancies and trusted seniors.
- Who starts it
- The member starts and stops the clock.
- Capture window
- Exactly while the timer runs.
- Zero capture events of any kind while the timer is stopped.
- Explicit project and task chosen per entry.
- Idle time is offered back to you: keep, discard or reassign.
- Primary risk is under-reporting — you forgot to start — never over-collection.
Automatic Mode
The agent runs whenever the device does — bounded by policy.
- Best for
- Offices, BPOs, call centres and regulated operations.
- Who starts it
- The device starts it, at boot or login.
- Capture window
- A policy-defined window: continuous, or a working-hours fence.
- Reaches its tracking state within ten seconds of login, inside the window.
- Outside the window it records a suppressed marker — the gap is explained, not mysterious.
- First-run disclosure precedes any capture; the acknowledgement is recorded.
- Attribution resolves automatically, with a single end-of-day catch-up prompt.
Hybrid Mode
Automatic capture, with an optional manual timer for attribution.
- Best for
- The recommended default for most knowledge-work teams.
- Who starts it
- The device captures; the member may start a timer to label it.
- Capture window
- The automatic capture window; the timer only tags the stream.
- One capture stream — the timer labels it, so double-counting is impossible.
- When the timer runs, time attributes to that project and task.
- When it doesn't, capture continues and attributes by rule.
- Best for agencies with salaried staff, product teams and hybrid offices.
Silent Mode
A windowless variant for company-owned devices, where lawful.
- Best for
- High-security estates with explicit, company-owned-device policy.
- Who starts it
- The device, with no visible indicator on the machine.
- Capture window
- As configured — but every gate below must pass first.
- Requires Business+, a permitting region, and a company-owned device.
- Requires a signed Owner acknowledgement, stored with timestamp and IP.
- Blocked in the EU, NSW/ACT, and under every GDPR-/HIPAA-/GLBA-safe profile.
- Even then, the member's own web dashboard still shows their data by default.
Working hours are a fence around capture — never a schedule, never attendance.
A working-hours window exists for exactly one reason: to bound when the automatic agent may capture. That's what makes continuous mode lawful. It is a capture boundary, and nothing more.
Inside the fence
- The agent captures apps, sites, input counts and — if enabled — screenshots.
- Outside it, the agent stays alive and records a single suppressed marker — the gap is explained, not mysterious.
- Genuinely working late? Open an explicit out-of-window session. It's tracked time — not overtime entitlement.
“You're outside your capture window — nothing is being recorded.”
What the fence is not
Tracked time is still tracked time — a report can show a person tracked 6h 20m on a Tuesday. What it will never do is call that “present”, judge it late, or measure it against an expected day.
- No punch in / punch out
- No present / absent / late status
- No punctuality or absenteeism
- No attendance calendar
- No location or office-vs-remote inference
Hybrid is the recommended default — automatic capture, with an optional timer to attribute it.
