Testimonial
It's not one of those apps where you need to spend half a day figuring out how to actually use it: sessions can be started as they happen or added later, and once the app has got a feel for your schedule and how you work, it'll even make suggestions about what you want to track next.

FAQs

What is an automated time tracker?

An automated time tracker (or automatic time tracking software) records all your work activities in the background — online or offline — without having to start or stop a timer or log manual time entries.

Will an automatic time tracking software record my screen?

Some software does. However, Toggl does not record your screen or your mouse movement. It only records activity on apps and websites that are active for 10 seconds or more. The app and website names are stored locally and help you add details when you create a time entry from these activities.

Will Toggl share the apps and websites I use with my manager?

No. These are stored locally and not shared with anyone. You can edit the time entry details when you create a time entry from a recorded activity. This ensures 100% privacy, no one will ever know the apps and websites you’ve used.

Is Toggl’s automatic time tracking 100% free?

Yes, you can invite up to 3 users in your team in the Free plan.
