The rate you set is an average, not a timetable
Most tools take a screenshot every ten minutes, which means everyone learns when the next one is coming. scrin.io draws each interval at random instead, so there is no window to sit out.
- One capture in ten arrives about a minute after the last one.
- The longest gap runs to just under twice the interval you chose.
- Two screenshots a minute apart are the feature working, not a glitch.
How often
Set a rate for the whole team, or a different one for a particular person.
| Plan | Screenshots per hour | Can be raised to |
|---|---|---|
| Free | 3 | 3 |
| Standard | 6 | 6 |
| Professional | 12 | 30 |
Everyone knows it is on
Each capture puts a small notification near the system tray of the person it was taken from. It is on by default, and it is there on purpose: a screenshot nobody knew about is worth less as evidence and costs more in trust.
There is no hidden mode. The tracker cannot be made invisible, because we never built a way to do it — see privacy & transparency.
Blurred, when the content is not your business
Screenshots can be blurred for the whole team or for one person. A blurred screenshot still shows that work was happening and what kind of screen it was, without the text on it being readable — which is usually all a timesheet needs to stand up.
Every screen, not just the first one
People who work across two or three monitors are the ones a single-screen capture misunderstands most — the reference is on one screen and the work on another. All connected displays are captured by default, and a secondary screen can be excluded for a particular person when there is a reason to.
Who can see them
- Managers see the team's screenshots on the timeline, next to the time they belong to.
- Everyone sees their own, and can remove any of their own submitted data.
- Screenshots can be included in a shared report link, or left out of it.
