About DeskTime
DeskTime is a fully automated time tracking and team management solution aimed at increasing productivity. It tracks employee activity by identifying which applications and websites are being used, categorizing them into 'productive' or 'unproductive' categories. The software starts and stops automatically with the device, eliminating the need for manual data entry. In addition to core time tracking, DeskTime offers project management features, shift scheduling, and absence tracking. It is built to support various work environments, including remote, in-office, and hybrid teams. The platform emphasizes transparency by providing users with their own productivity dashboards and a 'Private Time' mode to protect personal privacy during breaks.
