If Time Tracking Requires Effort, It Will Not Happen
The best time tracking is the kind your team does not think about.
Without automatic time tracking
- Employees forget to log hours or fill timesheets from memory
- Managers spend hours chasing people for overdue time entries
- No way to verify if reported hours reflect actual work done
- Billable hours go untracked, leading to revenue leakage
With HiveDesk time tracking
- One click to start — hours are captured automatically by project and task
- Timesheets are generated without any manual step from employees
- Screenshots and activity data verify every tracked hour
- Every billable minute is captured and ready for client invoicing
Time Tracking That Does the Work for You
Automatic hours, activity monitoring, and timesheets — all from one timer click.
One-Click Timer
Employees select a project and task, then click start. Hours are recorded automatically. No manual entries, no forms, no end-of-day submissions. Works on desktop, mobile, and browser.
Activity Monitoring
Keyboard and mouse activity levels are tracked during work sessions. Periodic screenshots provide visual verification. Employees always know when monitoring is active.
Automatic Timesheets
Timesheets are generated from tracked hours without any manual step. Managers review, approve, and export as PDF or Excel for payroll. Activity data backs every hour.
Break & Idle Detection
Employees log breaks during shifts. The system flags periods of no activity so managers can distinguish between active work, breaks, and idle time in reports.
Project & Task Time
Track time against specific projects and tasks. See exactly where hours are going across client accounts, departments, and team members. Add hourly rates for cost tracking.
Reports & Dashboards
Real-time dashboards show who is working and what they are on. Detailed reports cover time, activity, attendance, and overtime. Export everything as PDF or Excel.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about time tracking with HiveDesk.
Employees start the HiveDesk timer using the desktop app (Windows, macOS, Linux), mobile app (iOS), Chrome browser extension, or directly inside Asana. The software records hours by task and project, takes periodic screenshots for activity verification, and logs keyboard and mouse activity levels.
