I didn’t quite understand the context so I looked into the Timedoctor software they mention. Timedoctor can be configured to periodically take a screenshot of your user’s (/employee’s) screen, so the boss can look back at what they were doing every e.g. 3 minutes over the course of the time they logged. They also offer continuous screen recording.

I intentionally use screenshotting time-tracking software because it's nice to not have to worry about trusting my clients: screenshots add one more layer of legal proof that I'm actually working if they ever try to stiff me on payments.
Ha I got started on the freelancer websites like Upwork where you have to install spyware that takes a screenshot every 10 minutes. Kind of depressing way to work but it did get me started with freelancing.
The most interesting part of this tool is that it has enterprise features and it’s still free. I mean why. You’re producing a product to handle large amounts of money and you don’t want a cut?
He's not wrong and tracking your employees like that is actually illegal in Switzerland and probably other places as well.<p>In fact if you install security cameras in your work place they can not be used to track employees.<p>You are permitted to gather overall metrics over all employees but you can't track individuals. There are exceptions but only for very specific instances.<p>If you don't trust your employees to do the work then what guarantee do you have that they do their work well? This is how you end up with door hinges meant for the front ending up installed in the rear. Zero trust means their is zero incentive for the employee to give a shit about doing their job right.
So is this like a remote administration tool then? Since I'm assuming you'd want to trigger the screenshot remotely from a central server that manages kimai clients.
