TimoDesk is a time tracker with proof of work, built for staffing agencies and remote teams. People start a timer on a project or task. While it runs, the desktop app for Windows, macOS or Linux takes screenshots at the interval you choose, measures keyboard and mouse activity and records the apps and websites in use. When the timer stops, recording stops.
Against Teramind it is a deliberate step down in depth: no video, no keystroke content, no data loss rules. What you get instead is the part most managers actually open, at $1 per user per month instead of $14, with projects, kanban boards, timesheets and a client portal on the same plan. See time tracking with screenshots and how activity levels work.
