What you get with unusual activity monitoring

Hubstaff’s AI combines time tracking and behavioral analytics to detect anomalies in work patterns. Smart notifications surface unusual activity in real time, giving managers the visibility to respond quickly and confidently.

False applications

Suspicious application detection

Hubstaff can detect time theft, apps that mimic human mouse movement patterns (mouse jigglers), and other fraudulent apps. Receive instant notifications when any user launches these apps on their device.

Irregular activity

Abnormal activity patterns

Hubstaff spots anomalies in the keyboard and mouse productivity monitoring feature, like unusually high input (95%+ activity for 30+ minutes) or sustained consistency (under 4% fluctuation for 90 minutes). Customize alerts to flag this abnormal activity for more effective employee productivity monitoring.

Suspicious keyboard activity

Low keyboard input

When users have excessively low keyboard activity, it can indicate disengagement or burnout. Set real-time alerts and receive notifications when keyboard usage drops below a predetermined threshold.

Suspicious mouse activity

Low mouse input

Like with keyboard usage, minimal mouse activity can also be a red flag during tasks requiring regular mouse movement. You can also set up notifications just as you would for unusually low keyboard activity.

Continuous work

Breakless work

Hubstaff's time tracking software identifies work sessions that extend beyond five consecutive hours without a break to prevent what might be overwork or burnout. Set up notifications through Hubstaff’s employee time tracking app, email, or Slack integration to receive alerts.

Smart notifications

Stay on top of activity anomalies with Smart Notifications

Smart Notifications are the key to healthy employee productivity monitoring. Set timely alerts for unusual activity like low productivity, suspicious input patterns, burnout, or overwork. Simply configure real-time alerts via Slack, email, or in-app to stay ahead of issues before they spiral into larger problems.
