Monitask provide proof of work through automatic time tracking, screenshots, and activity reports, helping businesses reduce wasted time, identify bottlenecks, and improve overall team efficiency.
Key features of computer monitoring software:
Automatic time tracking across Windows, Mac, and Linux
Screenshot capture and activity level monitoring

Real-time live dashboard for managers
Project and task assignment with time logs
Daily email summaries and productivity reports
How it works: Employees install a lightweight desktop app and start tracking time. Managers access all data via a web-based dashboard. No installation required on their end. Monitoring runs only during active work sessions and stops automatically when tracking is paused.
Who it’s for: Remote teams, agencies, software companies, BPO firms, and any business managing distributed employees who need transparent, data-driven insights into how work time is spent.
Monitask comes with a variety of settings, which are customizable for the whole organization or a single employee. Set an appropriate number of screenshots per hour, set who has access to view employee data, and turn on/turn off internet usage for employee.
It is crucial to only track what’s needed. If your employees work on sensitive data, you can always turn off screenshots or blur individual screenshots.
Unlike many other tools, Monitask is not spy software. This means that it can only be installed with the user’s permission. Internet, screenshots, time, and activity tracking is only available when an employee is using the desktop application and it is turned off outside of work hours.
We encourage all of our users not to use spy software and hidden tools. Instead, focus on productivity and responsible monitoring.
Use reports as a helpful guide
A variety of reporting features in Monitask can help with your day-to-day operations. Our favorite reports to use are:
Daily email report – This report sends summary email reports about the previous workday. They can be sent in the morning or at night, so you have peace of mind and know that all employees spent their day productively.
Time entry report – This is a great report if you want to slice and dice the data on tasks and time entries. Pro tip: Export to CSV to analyze even further and import it into your accounting software.
Apps and internet usage – Use this report to review websites visited by your team and view charts of time spent on different applications.
Communicate with your team
Be upfront with your team and explain how you will be utilizing Monitask. Make sure your team understands that Monitask doesn’t record keystrokes or sensitive data and only works when they start tracking time. As soon as time tracking is stopped, Monitask doesn’t transmit any data. Plus, all collected data is securely stored in enterprise-grade encrypted storage.
If you have any particular use cases or questions about implementing Monitask in your organization, you can always contact us so that we can share our best practices.

"As a Sales and Marketing Manager on FBA Prep 4U. I am using Monitask 5 days a week because I need not extend 40 hours of my weekly working hour. Monitask made it easy for me to monitor time and show my productivity thru their screenshot features. It helps me to gain the trust of my boss who is also checking my timeline. I would highly recommend this software to my colleagues who are looking for reliable employee timesheet monitoring."
