you visit and time spent for every of these activities.
WorkTime works in the background mode and automatically records all activities
performed on the PC.
WorkTime tracking is very precise and flexible: it can pause for the keyboard/mouse
or screensaver inactivity, automatically change projects depending on the
active application/document, track certain applications only and more. WorkTime
proposes different levels of tracking: total working time, when work is
started and when it is finished, applications usage, documents usage. |
