desktop_windows Time Tracking App

An honest picture of the working day — automatically.

A privacy-friendly app for Windows, Mac, and Linux that tracks work hours on its own. It stays accurate even when someone locks their screen, steps away, loses internet, or works offline.

devices Works everywhere

One simple app, every kind of computer.

Quick to install and built to stay running. If it ever closes unexpectedly, it starts itself back up — but it always respects when someone chooses to close it on purpose.

  • check_circleWindows 10 and 11 — easy one-click installer
  • check_circleMac — works on both Intel and Apple chips
  • check_circleLinux — simple, self-contained download
  • check_circleLight on your computer and quick to set up
terminal Linux

graphic_eq Accurate by design

A time record you can trust.

Trackahm notes which app or website someone is using and for how long — and only records a new line when they switch tasks. The result is a clean, easy-to-read log with no clutter and no padded hours.

  • check_circleLogs the active app and how long it was used
  • check_circleEach entry shows app, window, website, and time
  • check_circleBuilt-in checks stop hours from ever being inflated

Every entry tells you six simple things

apps Which app

The program that was being used at the time.

Chrome
title What they were on

The title of the document or page they were looking at.

GitLab — Merge Request !482
link Website

The web address, when they're working in a browser.

gitlab.com/team/repo/…
timer How long

Time spent, down to the second — with safeguards so it's always realistic.

12m 09s
bedtime Active or idle

Marks time away from the keyboard as idle, so it's never counted as work.

Idle: yes
grade Productive or not

Labelled productive, unproductive, or neutral using rules you set.

Productive
shield_lock Respects privacy

We measure how busy — never what's typed.

Trackahm checks whether someone is actively working by measuring how much they're using the keyboard and mouse. It never sees what they type or what's on their screen text.

  • check_circleHow often the mouse is clicked
  • check_circleHow much the mouse moves
  • check_circleHow often keys are pressed — never which keys
  • check_circleHow much scrolling happens

What we DO NOT capture

  • blockKeystroke content
  • blockCamera or microphone
  • blockClipboard content
  • blockFile contents
  • blockEmail body, chat messages
  • blockBackground-process activity
hourglass_top Fair idle-time handling

Time away is always counted fairly

When someone steps away, Trackahm gently checks in instead of guessing. Even if they come back hours later, the question is still waiting — so the record stays honest.

1

Notices the pause

After a short quiet period (you choose how long), Trackahm spots that no one's at the keyboard.

2

Gives a heads-up

A friendly pop-up appears with an "I'm here" button. One click and the time counts as work again.

3

Asks what happened

"Were you working or on a break?" The question stays on screen until it's answered, so nothing is lost.

4

Captures a reason

If your team requires it, the person adds a quick note for the manager to approve.

healing No padded hours

Breaks never sneak in as work time

If someone steps away mid-task, Trackahm goes back and corrects the record so that only the time they were actually working counts. The break is split out automatically — no manual cleanup, no inflated totals.

  • check_circleNo "phantom" work logged during a known break
  • check_circleKeeps checking until the person is back at their desk
  • check_circleEven a locked screen is correctly counted as idle
lock Smart lock-screen handling

Lock the screen, and the clock pauses

When someone locks their computer, Trackahm automatically pauses their time. When they come back, if they were away for more than a minute, it simply asks: "You were away for X minutes — break or working?"

  • check_circleForgot to log off overnight? Time stops automatically after 4 hours
  • check_circleLocking after a break is simply recorded as a break
  • check_circleA quick "still working?" prompt keeps the record accurate

Optional screenshots, only if you want them

Screenshots are completely optional and off unless you turn them on. They're taken at random times, so they capture a normal working moment — not a staged one.

camera

Occasional screenshots

A screenshot every 7–15 minutes (across all screens), stored securely. Turn it on or off for your whole team in one click.

policy

Extra detail when it matters

For sensitive situations, you can set simple rules that capture a few extra screenshots — useful as evidence if something needs reviewing.

admin_panel_settings

You stay in control

This feature is off by default, and only the specific people you choose can ever view what's captured.

verified Dependable

It just keeps working — and never loses data

Trackahm is built so a crash, a restart, or a dropped internet connection never costs you a single minute of recorded work.

shield Restarts itself

If the app ever stops unexpectedly, it quietly starts again on its own.

save Works offline

Everything is saved on the computer first, so no internet means no problem.

sync Syncs automatically

When the connection is back, data uploads on its own — no duplicates, no lost time.

favorite Always in sync

Long working days stay accurate, with the app and your dashboard kept in step.

power_settings_new Safe shutdown

Closing the app or the computer saves the latest work first — nothing is dropped.

rule Your own categories

Decide which apps and sites count as productive — Trackahm sorts time automatically.
