Desk time-Time Tracking App For Businesses & Freelancers
As an employee spending a lot of time on your desk is natural but what if you could see your healthy and unhealthy browsing activities? If you can see how much time you waste online, maybe you can fix your habits.
With Desk time you basically add sites to “productive” and “unproductive” categories and then when you view them the app will add sites into the two groups accordingly. This way you and your employer can see your productivity rate and you can improve with time. E.g. if you work for a summer camp and you are focusing more on Facebook than on children’s activities then you can get into trouble.
