Automatic time tracking software for productivity insights

DeskTime is automatic time tracking software that starts tracking your employees' time the moment they turn on their device—no timers to click and no timesheets to fill out later. Throughout the workday, DeskTime tracks the apps, websites, and documents your team uses and automatically sorts them into productive or unproductive categories, giving you a clear picture of your team's work habits.

• Accurate payroll without manual time sheets
• Billable hours captured automatically for client invoicing
• Hassle-free work time compliance reports

See how your team spends time at work through the apps they use, the websites they visit, and their daily activity levels. DeskTime keeps tracking transparent by allowing employees to review all data collected about their own work activity.

• See how long tasks actually take across your team with real work-time data, not estimates
• Compliance with workplace monitoring policies, fully documented
• Performance conversations grounded in objective data, not impressions

We don't just track data. We help you understand it. Our productivity calculation and AI summary features turn daily activity into clear, actionable insights instead of endless reports. Unlike rigid monitoring tools, DeskTime is customizable for different roles and workflows, and includes features like Private time, which lets employees pause tracking whenever they need privacy during the workday.

• Benchmark team productivity across departments
• Spot underperformance early before it becomes a habit
• Set productivity baselines for new hires or recently remote teams

Manage distributed teams with the same operational clarity as in-office work without micromanaging. DeskTime shows who is online, tracks hours across time zones, and gives managers visibility into remote work patterns the moment the working day starts. No check-in calls needed.

• Knowing who is actively working without messaging the whole team
• Tracking hours across time zones for payroll accuracy
• Hybrid workforce management: remote and office staff in one view

Assign tracked time to specific projects, tasks, or clients and see exactly where the hours go. DeskTime integrates with tools like Jira, GitHub, Trello, Asana, and more, so projects and tracked time stay in sync. Agencies and consulting teams use it to compare invoiced hours against actual time spent, catch scope creep early, and keep client projects profitable.

• Client invoicing based on actual tracked time, not estimates
• Comparing estimated vs. actual hours to improve future scoping
• Tracking billable vs. non-billable time across multiple clients simultaneously
