Desktime works well for remote teams with time tracking, leave scheduling, and privacy-friendly screenshots. However, logging in can be tricky, and the private time feature needs improvement.

Desktime is user-friendly and easy to set up, with useful monitoring features like tracking IPs and URLs. Its flexibility to define productivity is a plus. However, on Linux, it only tracks app usage, and I’ve faced occasional syncing delays.

Desktime has been incredibly helpful for our remote team. It tracks time automatically, eliminating the need for submitting timesheets and making billing much easier. The ability to schedule leaves is also a great feature. I appreciate the privacy-conscious screenshot feature, where images are blurred to protect personal information. However, there are some downsides. The login and logout process can be a bit tricky, and you can’t keep the software logged in all the time. The private time option is useful but not very intuitive.”

DeskTime has boosted our productivity and helps track time efficiently. However, it doesn’t accommodate flexible work schedules well, which limits its adaptability for teams with varied hours.

We’ve been using DeskTime for a few months now, and the results have been great. Our team has a clear understanding of how they’re using their workday, and managers can easily see where improvements can be made. The app usage tracking has helped us identify distractions and focus on tasks that matter. The interface is intuitive, and the reports are detailed yet easy to digest. Highly recommended for any company looking to boost productivity.
