The new Time Doctor 2 was a huge step forward. Pros The ease of assigning current worktime to given projects or specific project tasks. That helps me keep an overview how much time I've spent on each project and task Cons Reporting sometimes needs a few extra clicks to give me the information I need - especially when I step from day to day it always needs a few extra clicks to get the same screen for the next day (Timesheet). But overall it's great - nothing serious. Switched from [RescueTime](https://www.capterra.com/p/103317/RescueTime/) RescueTime is great to keep records of what you did but assigning this to customers, projects and tasks isn't straight forward - and that's my main use case.

December 24, 2023 4.0 Overall a pleasant experience with TimeDoctor including the support given hy its Success Team. Pros There’s just a ton of useful features - 1. Time tracking 2. Task tracking 3. URL tracking 4. Screenshots Cons None as of the moment - serves it’s purpose!. Alternatives considered [Zendesk WFM](https://www.capterra.com/p/170953/Tymeshift/) Reason for choosing Time Doctor Friendly less complicated interface and dashboards. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Co-Founder & CTO Used the software for: 2+ years ### "It used to be a good product but they now lack on product focus and don't listen to customers." April 20, 2018 1.0 It helped our company at different stage of it's growth but unfortunately is not listening to its customers anymore Pros It has a nice web backend The client made in 2017 has good UX (if only we could use it) It used to have a responsive product team (not anymore) Cons \- The old client UI (which is the only one that we can use) is not intuitive and buggy. Our team very often complains about this and they don't want to use it. - A key feature which is blurring the screenshots has been taken away from the new Windows and Mac client but the option to enforce it is still in their web backend. This gives the false expectation that the setting will be respected while it doesn't and this compromise the privacy and \*security\* of the people using this software as the screenshots can also collect passwords, private keys etc. Neal from support on October 3rd 2017 wrote: "Sorry for the delay but our developer has not finished setting up this feature yet on the new app. I will try to get more feedback on this and see if I could get at least an estimate of when it will be implemented." After more than seven months on 20th of April 2018 he says: "We don't have an ETA yet. All I know is that our development team are currently working on incorporating this feature as we have been pushing them to since this is something available on the old app." As you can see the answer was not truthful (using the word "finishing" for something that wasn't started). There was also no apology from their side and they didn't write an article warning about this bug which can compromise the security of their users and breach their T&Cs. It's a shame since this company used to care about their customers. I will change the review if they finally act on this.General Comment It helped our company at different stage of it's growth but unfortunately while growing it seems that it lost its user focus Review Source Response from Time Doctor May 1, 2018 Hi We do apologize if you feel as though you are not treated the way you and your company used to be treated. While it is true that blurring of screenshot is not yet available in the new app, please do know that you can always use the older app to have this function working perfectly tailored to your needs. If you need any further assistance though, please do feel free to message us at support@timedoctor.com LB Lizzie B. Director of People and Projects Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The best time tracking tool I have used so far." February 13, 2023 5.0 It's been great! It helped us to calculate worked hours and use non-productive apps. Useful when you have people working remotely on different projects. Pros I like how easily you can access your team's timeline through different reports (Excel and PDF). As well, how you can categorize the Productive or Non-Productive apps and websites so your team spends time on what it's related to their role. Cons The idle time is not very accurate if it's because they are non-productive or because they are on a call. And when trying to get explanations from the Time Doctor Support Team, they don't know if a team member might be using auto-clickers to reduce their idle time or not.

Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior Software Development Oil & Energy Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great time manager" April 8, 2024 5.0 In the development of our software operations, we have a conventional and specific production line, the program has given us a broader look at what we should improve to reduce time costs and expand production, it has been very helpful in this sense and it has been worth every peso that we approved of acquisitions. Pros It is easy to use, it allows us to keep track of the time in each software development task that we need to take into account, it gives us data to be able to optimize the tasks, it has a very good development in this sense and that is why we love using it. Cons Nothing, so far everything has been fine with the program, technically it has been very constant, so far we have not received delays and we have not lost any.

Pros Really easy to use. This motivates the team to often and timely record their work. The reports are easy to read and understand. Cons The desktop app is sometimes difficult to install and not always working properly. Also, to have a longer history, bigger data base for the older entries.

Pros Time Doctor is the best time tracker ever. Now they have partnered with google and chrome. I can now track my time in any google apps. That is so convenient! No more wasted time. Thank you Time Doctor! Cons I don't think there is. We have never encountered issue so far. Switched from [Hubstaff](https://www.capterra.com/p/132376/Hubstaff/) Hubstaff is expensive compared to Time Doctor and we have encountered many problems with Hubstaff before.

The information is clear and concise. Pros Easy to track time and check productivity. It also has nice features that are helpful like check reports, and time productivity. Cons Not easy to search the project or to find the task in my projects. It is a bit difficult to get the reports with too much clicking... Review Source JL Jeremiah L. ECommerce Consultant Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Alright with the Doc" May 11, 2025 5.0 Pros The ease of turning it on when your shift starts, along with the widget that can dock onto any side of the screen, extremely handy! Cons I had to take some backdoor methods to install onto one of my workplace laptops. A minor inconvenience but could be bigger for someone who isn't tech savvy. Review Source SP Sian P. Consultant Public Relations and Communications Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Solved THAT problem!" May 9, 2025 5.0 Generally pretty good. It helped immensely with HR & KPIs Pros I like that I could see both key strokes and mouse movements. Cons The staff thought I was spying on them, and had to get my IT dept to upload the software onto each machine. Review Source MRG Ma. Rezie G. Care Coordinator Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Time Doctor Review" December 15, 2024 5.0 I really like using time doctor. Aside from the easy access in time tracking, you are able to view your daily, weekly and monthly worked time. Pros The easy access use of the tool to track time. Cons It’s other options like the multiple tabs. Review Source CR Camila R. Owner Medical Practice Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Gerenciamento de Tempo Eficiente" February 28, 2023 5.0 My experience with Time Doctor is very good. It has helped me with time management and also billing in an exceptional way. Pros It offers a comprehensive time management solution to help increase productivity. Time tracking, data reporting and analysis, and personalized alerts provide an efficient way to manage tasks. And best of all,being able to generate invoices directly from the platform makes the billing process easier and more efficient. Cons The price can be a bit high depending on the features required, which may limit accessibility for some users. Review Source JP Johnna P. Senior Analyst Legal Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Time Doctor Review" June 29, 2021 4.0 i have had a positive experience with Time Doctor and would recommend to others. Pros That it notifies you when time tracking starts so if you use your computer recreationally, you can remember to turn time tracking off. I like that you can hide the tracking icon or display it, depending on if it's distracting to you or you want to remember to change it Cons new tasks take a while to show up in the app once they are made on the web version. I wish it notified you when you have spent more than two hours on something, because sometimes when you hide the tracking bar it's easy to forget to switch to another task. Review Source JG John G. ISV-OEM Consultant Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Effective remote management" May 7, 2023 4.0 Time Doctor has helped me understand my own work strengths and weaknesses by showing me how much time I put into each task, project and campaign. Excellent for time management at the user level, as well as the manager level. We have also solved our time capture for remote employees which has created more efficiencies in payroll and better pay period ending cycles. Pros The insights into staff performance, being able to pin time to specific projects or work types as well as the efficiency brought to time management and the payroll process is worth of high praise. Cons The biggest opportunity is that Time Doctor sometimes seems to be a resource hog and can be slow to load and prone to occasional crashes which means lost time capture. If the employee or manager does not catch this, may result in underpay. The user dashboard is nice but takes you out of your work environment; something more integrated into the workflow tools like a retractable side-panel drawer instead of a web URL you have to visit would be better.

Pros One of the very first sets of time tracker that I used . . . and still using at the very moment I'm writing this review. It perfectly fits with my internal processes. Very intuitive to use. Other time trackers try to reinvent the wheel as if mastering productivity is not hard enough. If you're using TD, you create a project, add a task, then just start doing it. No other hullabaloo. Another advantage is the growing list of project management tool integration. Well, TD is a project maanagement tool already but if you're using other tools like Trello, you'll be happy to know that TD has you covered already. Another advantage is the fact that TD has added the Client View feature. That means you can invite your client/s to log in to a panel and view all the screenshots and work you've billed them. That's a trust booster for you and your client especially if you're getting paid by the hour. Cons Hmm if there's something that I want TD to improve on is their mobile app. It lags from time to time. And you shouldn't let it compete with other apps unless you have a super high power smartphone. And if you're like me who's into quantified self, tracking other aspects of like aside from work is just an absolute must. And more often than not, it has to be done off your PC. That's why they have to improve their mobile app. Review Source Response from Time Doctor June 1, 2018 Hi Monnel, Thank you for using the app to manage your Team. I am glad the Client feature helps you as well. We are working more on the mobile app now to be better at UI and functionality. MLL Maria Lenin L.

Virtual Assistants are in demand helping companies Worldwide produce more and better results for a low cost. Most remote workers and Virtual Assistants are paid by the hour and with Time Doctor, the management can track their employees real work status and productivity time. The features are designed to monitor the agent's screens and open tabs to ensure that the workers are doing work related tasks and opening company approved sites. Dashboard shows agent status where a Green circle beside the users name- means the person is working, if red, means the person is not working or on break At the end of the day, a report on accurate time usage can be viewed. Data gives the total of hours worked. It also shows the different tasks and how much time spent per task. You can select total hours worked per day, week, or per month. What I like about Time Doctor is that it provides agent screenshots every 9 minutes. It also shows if there is a low activity period. Cons Most benefits and advantages are for employers and management with the reports and actual agent status and work hours. However, the agent's Time Doctor Application / Dashboard is not easy to manage and use. Integration to company's accounting and company provided software can be complicated. For every task accomplished it should also be made available in their time doctor application. Agent should identify which task he/she is currently working on that particular hour by providing notes per hour after selecting which task category it belongs. Agents however can save permanent tasks instead of typing them saving them more time by just clicking on the saved task before he or she starts working. Review Source MC Melissa C.

September 13, 2022 5.0 The best assistance, not solely in monitoring your team but making sure you have figured out important aspects in efficient management of your team and the responsibilities which need to be taken care of. Pros The product has been the easiest I've used. I have been using other time tracking programs before but Time Doctor has by far the easiest integration and set up. It also gives me a clearer understanding of what's happening with my team, what tasks are we spending more time on and helps me manage the team responsibilities and task assignments to make sure everyone has the right balance of everything. Cons I think we have encountered a couple of bugs before, like TD stopping on it's own (already fixed), and if I would suggest anything is the automatic update whenever there is one. Apparently, we would have to uninstall and reinstall the app every now and then to the latest version, this would mean that before we find out, our TD has actually stopped recording until we update to the newer version.

We haven't used other products. We've attempted using Clockify and Harvest but they don't copmare Pros The integration with ASANA and the generated reports. Also the choice between screencasts and video shots. Cons When the integration between ASANA and TD2 breaks down.

For almost 3years of subscription, I can really say that it is worth it. I really recommend this. So far, so good. Pros This software helps us to track and become the basis of my employees salary and time keeping. This makes my job easier. For almost 3years of subscription, I can really say that it is worth it.

Pros Web & App Usage ScreenCast Timeline These features are our main dashboard for looking into the productivity | Activity of our employees. It helps us identify low productivity time if the employee is slacking off. Cons We observed no auto-detection report in terms of any abnormalities in the keyboard and mouse activity. There are employees who took advantage of this wherein they just put a stopper or any heavy object in the arrow down key, this will be detected as keyboard movement.

I am overseeing what they do, and how they manage their own time. Plus, it allows us the possibility to have back-up data in case of a client's complaint. Pros I think TimeDoctor has become one of those critical tools that we wouldn't be able to run our business without it. Screenshots activity is one of the most used features within our organization and it allows us to actually oversee and prevent any potential issues that may arise. Cons Not at all. I think the app overall is fantastic and should be your daily companion. Alternatives considered [DeskTime](https://www.capterra.com/p/168660/DeskTime/) Review Source Dianne Mae P.

October 5, 2017 5.0 I am able to maintain transparency with my clients at all times. TimeDoctor helps me track my hours and provide documented proof of work and give my clients a better view of how I complete my work/tasks. It also helps me in managing my time better. Pros TimeDoctor is straightforward and easy to use. I like that the desktop tool offers two versions: Pro and Lite, which helps you to choose the right application based on your usage and computer's resources. TimeDoctor also has a lot of integrations - particularly to different Project Management tools. This is especially helpful with managing different clients who each have a different preference on the project management tool that they are using. TimeDoctor is also very cost-efficient for me as a freelancer/consultant. Cons The price of additional users is a bit expensive for entrepreneurs who are just starting their own team, but overall, it is a worthwhile expense. Review Source EGC Evelyn Grace C.

July 10, 2021 5.0 I like using Time Doctor since it is very easy to use and user-friendly. Pros I like the feature that it keeps track of actual time - time in and time out, breaks, as well as offline hours. Cons Remote workers should be careful and cautious in using Time Doctor since it will get screenshots as well as record browsing history. So while working, the remote worker should make sure that he/she is not doing nonwork-related activities. Review Source Emmanuella A.
