What does Time Doctor monitor on my computer?

 

TL;DR: 

Time Doctor tracks task time, idle time, optional screenshots, and website/app usage only while a user is actively tracking time. Monitoring stops when tracking is paused or stopped.

Time Doctor increases productivity by monitoring computer usage in five key ways.

Note: Time Doctor only tracks activity when time is actively being tracked. It does not monitor anything on a user’s computer outside of tracked time.

 

Monitoring Features

Task Tracking

Monitor the total time spent on each task while allowing users to indicate break times.

    • Create a task list within the Time Doctor desktop app.

    • Select a task to begin tracking time.

    • Click Break to pause tracking.

    • Generate reports showing:

      • Time spent per task

      • Break durations

      • Chronological timelines

      • Total daily work hours

 

Keyboard and Mouse Activity (Optional)

Detect idle time by monitoring keystrokes and mouse movements.

    • Count mouse clicks and general keystrokes (without logging specific keys).

    • Configure idle time limits; a popup appears when inactivity exceeds this limit.

    • If unresponsive, the system automatically initiates a break.

    • Break time is excluded from payroll unless manual time is added with manager approval.

Screenshots (Optional)

Enable optional screenshots for visual verification of work.

    • Capture screenshots every three minutes (default setting).

    • Display the task name in each screenshot.

    • Download or view screenshots via the Time Doctor web dashboard.

    • This feature is optional and best suited to specific workflows.

Web and App Tracking (Optional)

Track usage of websites and desktop applications.

    • Log active website URLs and application names.

    • Generate detailed reports showing time spent per site/app.

    • Use data for productivity analysis and accountability.

    • Reports are available daily, weekly, monthly, or for custom date ranges.
