Screenshots

Screenshots without buying a higher plan

While the timer runs, TimoDesk takes a screenshot every 3 to 60 minutes. Each one is linked to the project and task it came from, with the activity level for that period, so you can check an hour in two clicks.

  • Set the interval for the whole team or for each member
  • Screenshots taken while a member is idle are thrown away
  • Stored with TimoDesk or in your own S3 bucket or FTP server
  • On the only plan, at $1 per user per month

Activity

See who worked when, and how actively

Team Day shows every member's sessions on one timeline, coloured by activity level. Activity comes from keyboard and mouse counts, and TimoDesk never records what is typed. App and website usage shows where the hours went.

  • Hours, last finish and average activity for the whole team
  • App and website usage by member, project and task
  • Manual time requests with approval
  • Windows, macOS and Linux apps, plus the web dashboard

Best fit

Who each one is right for

Teramind is an employee monitoring and insider-risk platform. It records video of screens, logs keystrokes on UAM and blocks data leaks on DLP. That depth is the point for security teams. If you mainly need to know where the hours went, with screenshots and activity levels, TimoDesk does that for about a fourteenth of the Starter price.

Choose Teramind for
  • Video recording of screens and live screen view on every plan
  • Keystroke logging and SIEM integration from the UAM plan
  • Data loss prevention rules with automatic blocking on DLP
  • OCR that searches text inside screens and recordings on Enterprise
  • Self-hosted and on-premise options, plus government clouds
Choose TimoDesk for
  • No seat minimum, billed only for members who tracked time
  • Projects, tasks and kanban boards with time on every card
  • Client access to reports and screenshots
  • Manual time requests with approval
  • About a fourteenth of the Teramind Starter price
The short version

Choose Teramind if you need insider-risk tools: video recording, keystroke logging, data loss prevention or on-premise hosting. Choose TimoDesk if you need time tracking, screenshots and activity levels for a team, at about a fourteenth of the Starter price and with no seat minimum.
