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

Does Workstatus take screenshots like TimoDesk?

Can clients see reports in Workstatus?

What does Workstatus do that TimoDesk doesn't?
