Yaware.TimeTracker
Yaware.TimeTracker automatically records work time and gives managers visibility into activity, applications, websites, and productivity. It tracks computer-based activity against a configured schedule and builds a work history. Managers can classify applications and websites as productive, neutral, or unproductive by role, while users can add meetings, calls, training, field work, breaks, and other activity away from the computer. Attendance records and timesheets can include worked hours, absences, overtime, and approved offline activity. Project and task tracking links recorded time with effort, estimates, and costs. Optional screenshots and webcam captures are available; the feature page advises limiting their frequency and access to the business purpose. Integrations listed include Jira, CRM and HRM categories, a Google Data Studio connector, and API-based exchange. SaaS plans retain data for three months during an active subscription and up to 30 days after expiry. The free plan covers up to five employees. Paid plans start at $3.20 per user/month billed annually; a 14-day free trial is available.
