Time tracking

A desktop app your team starts and stops themselves. It keeps working offline and stops counting when nobody is at the keyboard.

Start, stop, and that is the whole interface

Your team installs a small desktop app for Windows, macOS or Linux, picks the project they are about to work on, and presses Start. Everything else — time, screenshots, applications — follows from that one button. There is an autostart option for teams who would rather not think about it at all.

Managers install nothing. The data is on the web in real time, at scrin.io.

It keeps working without a connection

Hotel wifi, a train, an office outage: the app carries on recording to a local database and uploads everything once the connection is back. The time lands on the right place in the timeline, marked as recorded offline rather than quietly backdated.

It stops when nobody is there

After five minutes with no keyboard or mouse input — the default; the team can change it or turn it off — tracking pauses, and when the person comes back they are asked what that gap was. Add it as offline time with a note, or drop it.

This is the setting that keeps a timesheet honest in both directions. Nobody is billed for a lunch break, and nobody has to remember to press Stop.

Time that happened away from the computer

Meetings, site visits, phone calls. Offline time is entered by hand with a note, appears on the timeline as offline, and is counted in reports — clearly labelled, never disguised as tracked work. A team can switch it off entirely.

Weekly limits

Set a maximum number of hours per week, per team or per person. Useful for part-time contracts and for agencies working to a capped retainer, and visible to the person it applies to in their own app.

Corrections

Entries can be edited and time can be moved between projects. Every change is written to an edit log, so a corrected timesheet is still an auditable one.
