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.

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. Alternatives considered [monday.com](https://www.capterra.com/p/147657/monday-com/)[Clockify](https://www.capterra.com/p/169607/Clockify/) Reason for choosing Time Doctor Because it had more features that we needed according to our projects and our business. 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.

VR Verified Reviewer Lawyer Legal Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "One of the best time trackers on the market" April 7, 2022 5.0 It is a perfect fit for any business that needs time tracking. 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.

TEAM LEADER Consumer Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best Time Tracker Ever!" September 22, 2019 5.0 Great! I never had any problem with Time Doctor so far. 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.

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 VR Vania R. Freelancer Information Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Time Doctor - a review" June 23, 2025 4.0 Nice experience, good to track time and keep people productivity updated. 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 VR Verified Reviewer Owner, Creative Director Publishing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use, good user interface and user experience" November 26, 2024 5.0 I had a colleague from Canada tell me about Time Doctor and it turned out to be so easy. Pros really simple app where you can track time anywhere. you can track by job and by task. Plus, for employees, it'll take screen shots so you can verify if they were actually working on the task. Cons you need to use the web site vs the app to make admin changes, but not a big deal, and it's fast, so not really a con. 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 TB Tina B. good time tracking tool Alternative Medicine Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good time tracking tool" February 25, 2025 5.0 Pros Like the ability to track time by project and to capture screen shots. Like that it calls out inactivity Cons It would be nice if periods of inactivity were communicated more timely 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 JAP Julie Ann P. Recruitment and Compliance Officer Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My Personal Experience with Time Doctor" September 13, 2022 5.0 Pros For me what I love most about this app is its ability to take screenshots of what we're doing. I have tried other attendance tracking software and none of them was able to do that. Also, it is very easy to use. You can use it immediately off the rack or you can customize it by adding or connecting it to a separate payroll. As an HR, I am happy using Time Doctor since I started my journey in freelancing because I can put my client at ease in using Time Doctor I can show them that I am honest with the hourly rate that I am charging them. Cons I can't find any cons since using time doctor. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Finance Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great tool for hourly employees/contractors" September 14, 2023 4.0 I like it. I personally used it when I was an hourly freelancer and now I use it to track employee / contractors time when we hire them by hour. Pros I like that it is easy to use. Also, the tool detects time with no activity and allows to you track that too. Cons Sometimes the productivity is not measured accurately and that brings confusion when analyzing the data. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Secretary Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Time Doctor Review" June 14, 2022 4.0 Time Doctor is effective software and easy to use, you can have real benefits from it. Pros Time Doctor helps me a lot with my small business, I can throw this software track the time that spent on many projects. I usually use the desktop application and it is the best for me, but sometimes I use the phone app. Cons In the beginning, it wasn't easy to use and I need some time with my team to learn how we could use it in an effective way, but after that, I can't say anything bad about it. Review Source AV Ankur V. Product Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great app for time management" May 3, 2023 4.0 Overall it is a great tool to bring productivity to the team. Pros We can view the video at any time to know what we did back in time.It can help some to improve their efficiency by observing what and where they have been working.As well as it brings transparency to work. Cons We did not find a solution to skip the video part where no activity has been tracked. This means providing the option to skip non-active time during video monitoring. Review Source MC Melissa C. Customer Support Supervisor Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Time Doctor - Best for everything!" 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.

Operations Team Leader Outsourcing/Offshoring Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Time Doctor for Remote Work" September 1, 2022 5.0 Pros Time Doctor has been a great help for our company whose setup is remote work. Cons There could be glitches at times but Time Doctor Support has been responsive to these escalations Review Source Pedro O. FullStack Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Timedoctor is good for time tracking" September 4, 2022 4.0 I have been using the TimeDoctor for the last 2+ years, I started using the TD v1, and now I'm on TD v2 I can track my time as well and see time reports, my company has its own system to manage PTOs, this system has integration with the timedoctor to add hours automatically. I like the TD integrations with others apps Pros Integrations with: Jira, bitbucket, sentry, google, etc Time tracking API services Reports Easy to use Cons Crashes sometimes Doesn't support many Linux SO, like archlinux Review Source RN Ronaldo N. Virtual Assistant Outsourcing/Offshoring Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Tracking your time in your on-line job? Time Doctor is the best." September 7, 2022 5.0 It's just absolutely great and worthwhile. Pros It's so user friendly and convenient in tracking time and reporting to one's manager. All its features are essential for my work. I can just log in to it and track my time for my client. This also makes me trustworthy to my client that I do my work at the designated time given to me. Cons I don't see any feature in Time Doctor that I don't see essential. Review Source JMEM John Michael Evard M. Healthcare Virtual Assistant Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Auto Tracker" August 15, 2021 5.0 It was great! I love the product! Pros It is very easy to use and integrates with the business process easily. The most impactful was the monitoring of idle employees. Cons I love everything about time doctor! It is very helpful!it has solved unnecessary working hours, site surfing of employees and idle time. Review Source GC Gladies C. Tax Specialist Business Supplies and Equipment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Review on Time Doctor" September 6, 2022 5.0 Time Doctor is our trusted time tracking software. I think the management will not make any changes as to how our time logged should be accounted for. We are very reliant on TD, the HR head bases all our activities on TD so it is kind of a part of our family. Pros It helps me validate my hours logged to the company I am working for. The software is very customizable depending on the need of the management; it gives a nudge when you are already dozing off while it's running and the option to go back to working or to take a break is very straightforward. Cons There's this notification that I should log off TD to do a software update I guess which annoys me especially when I am engrossed working and my time needs to be tracked. But there is an option to run the update while the the tracker is running so it's doable and manageable for me.
