Simple and effective tracking software. Great for tracking time on a project and monitoring yours and your employees time. This deal was for the business plan which does have app or doc tracking which may be not needed for some.

Smith

Desklog impressed us with its user-friendly interface and comprehensive features. The ability to track time both in-office and remotely was a significant advantage, especially given the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The software's real-time monitoring capabilities and the option to capture screenshots for remote employees ensured accountability and transparency.
