Where is my data stored and is it secure?

All of the time-tracking and screenshot data is securely stored and encrypted using 256-bit AES encryption.

Do remote team members see when screenshots are taken?

Yes, after your remote team members install our Windows or Mac desktop application, they will have full control of when the time tracking begins (along with screenshot taking) and when it stops. They can see the last screenshot taken, so they will be fully aware of what’s being uploaded for review.

What is activity level and how it is calculated?

Activity level tracking is a feature designed to keep track of user activity based on the keyboard usage and mouse movements.

Monitask is an employee productivity tool, but it is not a spying tool. You cannot run Monitask without user permission or auto-start screenshot monitoring. User needs to press start button when they work in order to start time tracking.
