Automatic Time Tracking and Productivity Analytics
DeskTime is an automatic time tracking software from Latvia that helps businesses monitor and optimize employee productivity through intelligent activity tracking. Founded in 2011 as part of the Draugiem Group and now legally based in Latvia, DeskTime has evolved into a comprehensive productivity platform serving thousands of companies worldwide. The software automatically tracks time spent on applications and websites, categorizing them into productive, unproductive, or neutral activities, providing managers with actionable insights without manual input.
DeskTime gained recognition for its research on optimal work patterns, discovering that the most productive employees work in 52-minute focused sessions followed by 17-minute breaks. The platform offers features including project and task tracking, attendance monitoring, URL and app tracking, detailed productivity reports, and integrations with popular project management tools. With native integrations that allow direct access to services like Trello within the DeskTime app, the software provides deeper functionality than typical browser extensions. DeskTime is particularly valuable for remote teams, offering transparent productivity metrics while respecting privacy through optional private time features and customizable tracking settings.
