Hubstaff is a simple application that your virtual workforce installs on their machines to track time, activity levels, and take screenshots.
Workers can select a project, and Hubstaff will then track time and activity to that specific project, which becomes viewable in the web application.
When a user is running Hubstaff, randomized screenshots will be taken about every 10 minutes.
Hubstaff also calculates activity percentages to show how active your team is. Here’s how the activity levels are calculated:No, Hubstaff does not store individual keystrokes. We simply store whether any key was pressed, and assign a value (true or false). We do not store which key was pressed.
Hubstaff has been designed specifically for your operating system of choice. We’ve built lightweight native applications for Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android, Chrome OS, and the Chrome browser.
