ScreenshotMonitor — Productivity

What is ScreenshotMonitor?

ScreenshotMonitor is a simple employee monitoring and time tracking tool. Your remote or office team uses a lightweight desktop app to start and stop tracking tasks. The app automatically captures screenshots at set intervals and records time spent on each task, then securely uploads the data to your web dashboard in real time.

What problem does it solve?

It gives managers a clear picture of what their teams are actually working on, even across countries and time zones. You see exactly when and what employees worked on, how much time and money each task costs, and what was on their screens — so you can be certain you're paying for real work, not time spent on social media or shopping. It also works without internet, syncing data when connectivity returns.

Who is it for?

It's built for companies with remote or office teams that need accountability and accurate time tracking for billing or payroll. Freelancers who track their own time for clients can use it for free — their clients pay for the plan. It's not for teams looking for advanced project management or complex workforce analytics.

Real use cases

Manage a distributed team across five countries (like one customer does), generate Excel timesheets for invoicing, or let employees see their own reports to create client invoices. It's a lightweight, practical tool you can start using in about 10 minutes.
