What Is Traqq?

Traqq is a simple, yet feature-rich time-tracking and activity-monitoring tool that focuses on efficient time and productivity management. The program offers seamless individual or team time tracking. It comes with automated reports to help you measure your own or your team’s performance levels.

The clock-in/clock-out app simplifies billable hours recording and payroll processing via its detailed timesheets. It works both online and offline to ensure accurate time and activity monitoring.

Some of Traqq’s most valued features include:

• Time tracking
• Employee monitoring
• Activity tracking
• Full offline mode
• App and website Monitoring
• Powerful reporting
• Team management
• Idle time detection

Manual Time Tracking

Once you install Traqq on your computer, you can start logging time by clicking the Start button on Traqq’s taskbar widget. Despite its automated time-tracking feature, the app still gives employees control over what they want to be recorded. Users can pause the tracker when taking breaks or when they finish working on tasks and assignments.

Traqq tracks all user activity, and every minute captured is updated, in real-time, to the online timesheets. Users can get a general insight into the overall activity, including hours worked, via Traqq’s Dashboard.

The timeline displays a user’s activity as ten-minute blocks, each marked with a different color to show the activity level during a given period. The gaps between the colored blocks indicate periods when the tracker was not running.

Idle Time Detection and Notifications

The intelligent Traqq app monitors user activity and alerts you when it doesn’t detect keyboard or mouse movements while the tracker is running. This way, you can avoid logging time that you didn’t work. Reminders will also pop up on your screen if you start working but forget to turn the tracker on.

You can configure the program to alert you of every hour worked to help you manage your time more efficiently.

Manual Time Adjustment

Various circumstances call for manual time entries. Let’s say you worked in the field or attended a client meeting and want to add that time as billable. Traqq makes the process easy for you.

Simply click the option to add time right from the app menu or open the Time Adjustments tab or the Timelines page and select Add manual time. Specify the date and time period you want to manually add to your timeline and provide a brief explanation for the adjustment.

Traqq’s Dashboard displays a summary of activity for all users or groups. It gives you a glance at how productive you or your team were during a given time period.

You can view a list of the top apps and websites, the total time spent on these apps, and your average activity level in percentage. You can filter the type of information you want to see by time period, including Today, Yesterday, This Week, Last 7 days, and so on.

Traqq offers an elaborate employee monitoring solution for distributed teams. Its non-intrusive approach is highly beneficial, considering how micromanaging your staff is harmful to the work environment.

The app works silently in the background to avoid distracting workers, and you can view all their activities on the Activity page. Here’s how employee monitoring with Traqq works:

Employee Privacy

Teams are always concerned about their privacy, particularly when monitoring tools are employed.

Traqq is the ideal ActivTrak alternative for those who want to promote ethical tracking so as not to compromise worker morale. The tool only monitors a user’s mouse clicks, scrolls, and keyboard activity. It doesn't store passwords or other sensitive details. Its sole intention is to observe how active users are.

Application and Website Monitoring

Traqq records the top ten applications and websites accessed by users for more than ten seconds during work hours. Managers can view the data in the form of a pie chart for quick analysis on the Activity page.

The tool doesn’t track browser activity – just the time you spent on the apps and sites.

Real-Time Activity Tracking

Traqq monitors activity levels and displays the data in ten-minute blocks. It registers keyboard movements and mouse clicks and scrolls on your screen for accurate activity tracking.

Any inactive period is shown as gaps in your timeline, viewable on the Activity tab. The green color shows high activity levels, yellow indicates normal activity, and red signifies low or no activity.

The different colors help speed up timesheet reviews and assessment of each team member’s performance and productivity potential. You can use the data to identify overperforming or underperforming employees. This way, you can address issues like burnout and habitual absenteeism.

You’ll like Traqq’s simplified, yet powerful reporting feature that can help you view more valuable info on your distributed team members.

Traqq lets you generate the following reports:

Weekly Summary – Shows your personal or your team’s overall performance for the specified week.

Time and Activity – Indicates your personal or your team’s activity levels and the total hours worked.

Apps and Websites – Reveals individual and team application and website usage for the selected period.

Idle Time - Gives you an idea of how much work time is spent with no activity detected by the time tracker.

Deleted Tracked Time - Gives you a breakdown on the time that was deleted each day during the selected period.

The reports on Traqq have been generated automatically and updated with all users’ daily activity. You can filter reports by time period, people, or group for a personalized analysis.

Once generated, you can share reports in CSV or PDF file formats by emailing them directly from the app, or saving them to your computer for future review.
