Time tracking for remote and distributed teams

TimoDesk is time tracking software for remote and distributed teams. It records hours and activity in every time zone and emails a daily summary, so you start each day knowing what happened.

Remote and distributed

Status meetings take time

Remote teams lose hours just finding out what happened. Status calls are planned around three time zones. Written updates describe work that is already done. A manager hears about a problem the next morning. The information exists, but nobody records it in one shared place. TimoDesk records it for $1 per user per month.

Read it, don't ask for it. See what happened overnight without asking anyone.
Overlap

Where the working days overlap

Working hours in different time zones overlap less than most teams plan for. In this example, three offices each work 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. local time, and all three are online together for only one hour, 9 to 10 a.m. in London. Hours are shown in London time. The schedule is a made-up example.

Shared record

What happened while you were asleep

Hours and activity from every location land in one view. Each morning, you can read what happened overnight. It's built on the team dashboard, reports and analytics, the time calendar, and activity levels.

  • Tracked hours and activity for every location, in one view See hours and activity for all locations in a single dashboard.
  • Daily summary emails about the day before Each summary shows hours, activity, top projects and top tasks from the day before.
  • Weekly worklogs instead of written status updates Check each member's weekly worklog and skip the written status report.
  • A live view of who is working right now See who is online and tracking time at this moment, in any time zone.

Healthy hours

See who is working too much

The time calendar shows each person's tracked hours for every day, weekends included. This matters most for people who would never say their hours have grown.

  • A time calendar with tracked hours for every day
  • Each member's start time and last activity today
  • An activity heatmap on each member's own dashboard
  • Weekly worklogs with each person's hours for every day of the week

Questions

Remote team time tracking questions

What remote teams ask before they install time tracking on laptops in other countries.

Does TimoDesk work across time zones?

Yes. Hours are tracked for each member and shown in one dashboard, wherever they work. A live list shows who is online and working right now.

Does the team need to be online at the same time?

No. The desktop app keeps tracking offline and syncs when the computer connects again, within 30 days. Your team can work different hours and still share one record.

Will remote employee monitoring feel like surveillance?

Not if you are open about it. People can see when tracking is on and view their own data, and you can turn on an alert that tells them when a screenshot is taken.

Can a team lead see only their own people?

Yes. Give them the team manager role, and they see only the teams they manage. Organizers and managers see the whole organization.

Which platforms does TimoDesk support?

Windows, macOS and Linux desktop apps, plus a web dashboard. There is no mobile app.
