Time tracking & the Time Tracker app

Hourly contracts use the WorkOfficially Time Tracker, an app for your computer, together with the work diary on the website.

From the Time Tracker page (sign in first): macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), Windows (64-bit) and Linux (AppImage). Android and iPhone versions are on the way.

How it works

1. Sign in with your WorkOfficially account, pick an active hourly contract and press start.
2. Screenshots are taken at random moments (about 6 to 9 an hour) as proof the work happened. You can blur them.
3. Activity is measured as a count of keyboard and mouse events. What you type is never recorded.
4. Lose your connection and it keeps tracking, then syncs when you are back online.
5. Press stop when you are done. Your hours appear on your weekly time sheet for the client to review.

Weekly billing

Tracked hours are submitted weekly and billed to the client's card on file, within the weekly hour limit the client sets on the contract. Freelancers do not chase invoices, and clients see what they pay for in the work diary.

Privacy

• Only while the timer runs - with a visible recording indicator and a strip of your latest screenshots.
• Never - keystroke content, audio or webcam.
• Your consent first - you agree before the first capture. On macOS the app asks for Screen Recording and Accessibility (counts only) and links you to the right settings.
