Active time
Time in the working day with keyboard or mouse activity on the tracked computer.

Idle time tracking software: see how much of the day was really worked
A computer that is switched on is not the same as work being done. ECOMHUTSY Team Monitoring splits every tracked hour into active time, when there was keyboard or mouse activity, and idle time, when there was none.
Managers see the split per person, per hour and per day, so long idle stretches, missed handovers and overloaded people show up early, without anyone watching a screen.

Active and idle time, measured the same way for everyone
Idle time
Time with no keyboard or mouse activity, shown separately so it never inflates worked hours.
Per hour, not only per day
Each tracked hour shows its own active and idle split, so you can see when in the day idle time happens.
Daily and period totals
Hours add up into daily and period reports for payroll, client billing and workload planning.
Context when you need it
Apps and websites used, and screenshots at the interval you choose, help explain an idle period before anyone draws conclusions.
Same rules for the whole team
Every person is measured against your company's working hours and time zone.
Idle time is a signal, not a verdict
Not all work happens at the keyboard. Calls, meetings, reading printed documents and thinking through a problem can all show as idle. Use idle time to start a conversation, not to dock pay automatically.
Look at trends across the week, compare similar roles with each other, and agree in writing which activities are expected away from the keyboard.

Frequently asked questions
What is idle time tracking?+
Idle time tracking measures the part of the working day when a computer had no keyboard or mouse activity, and shows it separately from active time.
How is idle time calculated?+
Time with keyboard or mouse activity on the tracked computer counts as active; time without it counts as idle. ECOMHUTSY Team Monitoring shows both for every tracked hour.
Should idle time be deducted from pay?+
We recommend using it as context, not as an automatic deduction. Calls, meetings and reading can show as idle. Agree your rules in writing first.
Can employees see that idle time is tracked?+
Yes. Each person installs the app and checks in, so tracking runs only during their working day and everyone knows when it is on.
How much does it cost?+
$3 per user per month with a minimum of 2 users, with attendance, apps and websites and screenshots included. Start with a 1-month free trial (card required).
