How to Track Employee Computer Activity?

From sign-up to your first report in four steps — no setup headaches.

Step 1.

Set up your team

Invite employees by email and group them by team, project, or client. Each person installs the app with consent and gets their own privacy settings.

Step 2.

See workloads and capacity

The live dashboard shows who's clocked in, who's overloaded, and where there's room — so you can rebalance before deadlines slip.

Step 3.

Schedule and assign work

Build shifts across time zones, assign projects and tasks, and track attendance and time off in one place.

Step 4.

Review proof-of-work and coach

Use timesheets, activity levels, and optional screenshots to confirm progress and support people — not to police every minute.

Why teams choose Monitask

Most remote management tools either skip the management layer or replace it with surveillance. Monitask gives you both — real workload visibility and the discipline of time tracking — without crossing into keystroke logging or off-the-clock monitoring.

Manages, not just monitors

Workload, scheduling, attendance and proof-of-work in one place — so managers lead the team instead of policing minutes.

Transparent by design

Tracking only runs while employees are clocked in, screenshots can be blurred, and no keystrokes are ever logged.

No micromanaging

Use the data to spot overload, balance capacity and coach — not to police every minute of the day.

Privacy controls per person

Each employee has their own privacy settings. Sensitive apps blur automatically, so visibility never means exposure.

Lightweight for SMBs

A fraction of what enterprise HCM suites cost — built for small and mid-sized distributed teams that don’t need a heavyweight platform.

Honest boundaries

It is not a full HR/payroll platform. Pair it with Deel or QuickBooks when you need native payroll or HRIS.

"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."

"It is a must-have tool for companies allowing remote work. 80% of our employees work from remote locations, and tracking their work efficiency was a big challenge for us. we had at a point also decided to create a tool for time tracking, however, once we heard about monitask, and used it for 10 days with the free trail. it was an instant GO for us ad we have been using the same since then."

"As an entrepreneur, I often feel guilt that I'm not spending "enough" time working on various projects. Once I started using Monitask, everything became objective and my time has started to become more valuable. Things that get measured get improved. This objective feedback on how I'm spending my time has given me so much encouragement and motivation. I can see progress happen, and I'm able to feel better about the work I do."

Remote Workforce Management Software That Manages, Not Just Monitors

Monitask gives distributed and hybrid teams one place to see workloads, balance capacity, schedule shifts, manage time off, and prove work — with automatic time tracking, activity insight, and proof-of-work screenshots. Transparent by design: it runs only while people are clocked in, and never logs keystrokes.

Key Features of Monitask – Remote Employee Management Tool

Everything you need to manage a distributed team in one place — see workloads, plan shifts, track time off, and prove work, without hovering over anyone.

Capacity & workload

Get real-time visibility into who’s overloaded and who has room to take on more, across every time zone your team works in. Rebalance projects and tasks before deadlines slip and keep the whole team on track — regardless of location — instead of finding out when it’s already too late.

Remote employee management
Time tracking

Scheduling & shifts

Build schedules, assign projects and tasks, and keep distributed shifts organized so everyone knows what they own. Monitask automatically records work hours and shows how time is spent across tasks, so you can coordinate overlap hours across time zones, streamline payroll, and keep the team aligned from one dashboard.

Time off & attendance

Track attendance, clock-ins, and time off so remote availability is always clear at a glance. Timesheets stay payroll-ready and you always know who’s working today and who’s out — the accurate work-hour tracking distributed teams depend on.

Viewing apps used by your team
Capturing screenshots

Proof-of-work & activity

Automatic screenshots and activity levels give you real visibility into what’s getting done, without micromanaging. See which apps and websites the team engages with to understand workflow and support focus — and everything runs only while employees are clocked in, screenshots can be blurred, and no keystrokes are ever logged.

Statistics & reports

Access comprehensive performance statistics and generate custom reports to evaluate team productivity and surface areas to improve. These insights let managers make data-driven decisions and optimize workflows across distributed teams, so you can act on overload and bottlenecks early — not after the fact.

Manage without micromanaging

Remote management breaks in predictable ways: work happens across time zones, “idle” time gets misread on thinking-heavy tasks, and constant check-ins erode trust. Monitask is built to avoid that. Tracking runs only while employees are clocked in, screenshots can be blurred, and each person gets their own privacy settings — so managers get real visibility and teams keep their autonomy.

Use the data to spot overload and bottlenecks early and coach people — not to police every minute.

What Monitask replaces — and what it doesn’t

Monitask replaces scattered spreadsheets, manual timesheets, and guesswork about who’s working on what. It gives you time tracking, workload and capacity visibility, scheduling, attendance, and proof-of-work in one place.

It is not a full HR/payroll platform. If you need native payroll runs, benefits administration, or an HRIS of record, pair Monitask with a system like Deel or QuickBooks — Monitask handles the visibility and management layer, they handle payroll. And if you manage a field crew that needs GPS, or a large contact center that needs enterprise workforce management, Monitask isn’t the right fit.

Simple, Transparent Pricing

Free 10-day trial — full access, no credit card. Paid plans start at $6.49 per user/month (billed annually) — a fraction of enterprise HCM suites. See current plans →

Works with your stack

Native integrations with Jira, Asana, ClickUp, Basecamp, Trello, monday.com, Microsoft Teams and QuickBooks, plus Zapier for 1,000+ more apps — and a Deel integration for payroll workflows.

FAQ

What is remote workforce management software?

It’s software that helps managers run a distributed team from one place — tracking time and workload, scheduling, managing attendance and time off, and giving visibility into what’s getting done. Monitask does this transparently, only while employees are clocked in.

How is workforce management different from employee monitoring?

Monitoring answers “is this person working?”; management answers “is the team balanced, on schedule, and supported?” Monitask covers both, but is built around management — workload, capacity, and coaching — not surveillance.

Does Monitask handle payroll?

Not natively. Monitask tracks the hours and activity payroll runs on, and integrates with Deel and QuickBooks. For full payroll or HRIS, pair it with a dedicated platform.

Can I manage a team across different time zones?

Yes. Time is recorded in each employee’s local activity, and the live dashboard shows who’s online, so you can plan overlap hours and read timesheets across zones.

Does it work without micromanaging people?

Yes — that’s the point. Tracking runs only during work hours, screenshots can be blurred, and each employee has privacy settings. Use the data to coach, not to police.

How much does it cost?

A free 10-day trial with no credit card, then paid plans from $6.49 per user/month billed annually.

Which platforms does it support?

Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, and Chromebook (beta) — manage a mixed remote fleet from one dashboard.
