Time tracker & desktop app

See where the desk hours go.

Marketing, bookkeeping, quotes for company events: desk work at a venue is easy to lose sight of. The Leisbase desktop app for macOS and Windows puts a timer on the task someone is working on, so the hours land where the work went.

Desk time you can see, not guess.

Hours at the front desk are on the rota. Hours in the back office usually aren’t – the quotes, campaigns and monthly accounts happen somewhere between shifts. The tracker gives that work a record of its own.

Desktop app

The timer sits on the task, not next to it.

Every tracked minute belongs to a task or subtask in the Planner, so you know what the Christmas campaign or the monthly accounts really took – and what to quote next time.

Transparency & privacy

You decide what is recorded.

Time on the task is what the tracker is for. Activity, app and website usage and screenshots are settings your venue chooses, and each one is worth explaining to your team before it starts.

Screenshots optional, with blur if you want it
Activity and app and website usage only if your venue turns them on
Tell your team in advance what is recorded and why

Approvals

Kept time and time off, approved by a manager.

Idle time someone decides to keep – a supplier call, a meeting away from the laptop – doesn’t slip into the hours unseen: it waits for a manager’s approval. Leave requests from the team show up for managers as well, ready to approve or decline.

Kept idle time marked for approval
Tracked hours reviewed and approved per person
Approved holiday deducted from the person’s holiday account

Capabilities

What’s included

Menu-bar timer

Pick a task, start the timer – the running time stays visible in the menu bar.

Idle check and screen lock

After a while without activity the app asks whether to keep the time, and the timer stops when the screen locks.

Activity and summary

An activity percentage and an activity summary show how a block of tracked time went.

App and website usage

Which programs and websites were in use during tracked time.

Team dashboard

Everyone’s tracked time in one place, so you see where the team’s week went.

Coming from Time Doctor

We import your Time Doctor entries as task time in the Planner, so your history comes with you.

Frequently asked questions

Are we allowed to monitor staff with it?

Recording activity, app usage or screenshots is a form of employee monitoring. In Austria, Germany and Switzerland it has to comply with labour and data-protection law, and where there is a works council it usually needs to be involved. This is not legal advice – check your settings with a legal adviser beforehand and inform your team.

Does the time tracker replace the time clock?

No, the two complement each other. The time clock records working hours on site – on a tablet at the branch, or in the mobile app for your team with a location check. The time tracker records how much desk time goes into which task.

Does the time tracker cost extra?

No. Leisbase has one plan with every module included, the time tracker and the desktop app among them. The price depends on your venue’s setup.
