RescueTime alternative with no employee monitoring
Traqq helps teams track time, plan project work, manage capacity, and handle client billing — without tracking the apps and websites employees use or scoring their productivity.
Traqq vs RescueTime
RescueTime automatically records computer activity, including apps and websites, and uses that data to measure productivity. Traqq lets users track time with a timer or add it manually, then uses that time for project, workload, and financial reporting.
