## The problem

Remote teams juggle separate tools for time tracking, screenshots, projects and payroll — so managers never get one trustworthy view of who worked on what, and for how long.

## Our solution

One platform: a timer tied to real tasks, a desktop agent that captures screenshots, apps and URLs while the timer runs, project and budget tracking, an org hierarchy with role-based visibility, and reports that turn hours into amounts owed.

## The outcome

Managers work from a single dashboard where activity, delivery and spend all trace back to real tasks — with permissions enforced by the backend on every request.

## Facts

- 3 activity feeds — screenshots, apps & URLs
- 3 desktop agents — Windows, macOS & Linux
- 6+ dashboard workspaces
- 1 Firebase-backed source of truth

## Inside the product

- **Command center:** Live KPIs for time worked, active members, budget and team activity, with every project’s health at a glance.
- **Time & timesheets:** Timers tied to real tasks. Timesheets group hours, activity, idle time and spend by day, member or project.
- **Activity capture:** The desktop agent records screenshots, apps and URLs while the timer runs — auto-classified as productive, neutral or unproductive.
- **Projects & people:** Clients, projects and budgets on one board; members, roles, invites and an org tree that controls who sees what.
- **Reports:** Time & activity, amounts owed, daily totals, work sessions and audit logs — ready to export or schedule.
