Productivity metrics that the person, not the manager, turns on
App Tracker shows real-time application-usage and focus metrics — but only for people who switch it on, and only as the aggregate patterns that help a team work better. It's built for self-awareness and capacity planning, not surveillance, and on a self-hosted deployment the data never leaves your servers.
Consent first
Off by default; each person opts in for themselves
Nothing is tracked until an individual turns App Tracker on for their own account, and they can pause or stop it at any moment. There is no admin switch that enables it for someone else — consent is the on-ramp, by design.
- Off by default, enabled per person
- No admin override to track someone without consent
- Pause or stop tracking instantly, any time
Aggregate, not surveillance
Patterns and focus, not a keystroke log
App Tracker reports the shape of the day — focus time, app categories, context-switching — not a minute-by-minute record of someone's screen. The framing is capacity and self-awareness, so the metrics inform planning rather than police people.
- Category-level usage and focus metrics, not keystrokes
- Built for self-awareness and capacity planning
- Configurable categories and exclusions per person
Your infrastructure
Self-hosted means the data stays yours
On a self-hosted deployment, usage data lives on your own servers and never reaches a third party. Admins configure retention and what's collected, so the policy matches your team's agreement rather than a vendor's defaults.
- Self-hosted: data never leaves your infrastructure
- Admin-configurable retention and collection scope
- Pairs with worklogs for a fuller picture of time
Consent, always
Recording and transcription are off by default, opt-in per room, and visibly indicated to every participant.
Encrypted
Media is encrypted in transit; recordings and transcripts are encrypted at rest in your workspace.
You set retention
Admins choose how long recordings, transcripts, and summaries live — or delete any of them instantly.
“What sold the team was that nobody could turn it on for someone else. People opted in because it shows them their own focus patterns, and we use the aggregates for capacity planning — not for watching anyone.”
