Productivity essentials

Understand how work time is used.

Automatic tracking turns everyday application activity into useful productivity context. Employees can review active time, idle periods, app usage, daily totals, projects, and tasks from one connected work history.

Instead of depending on manual updates, teams gain a clearer picture of where time is going, which projects need attention, and where the workday is becoming fragmented.
