Waarom zou je deze gids vertrouwen?

I have run Time Doctor across two remote teams for three years and tested every feature below. Three years ago I set it up badly, so the mistakes here are mine.

Time Doctor is one of the most widely used time tracking and employee monitoring apps for remote teams.

Most managers only ever hit play and look at total hours.

Most tutorial videos stop right there too.

That misses the reports that actually change how a team works.

This guide walks through every screen, step by step.

Verborgen functies die de meeste mensen over het hoofd zien

• Offline tracking: Hours keep logging without internet, then sync when the connection returns.
• Aangepast rapport bouwer: Build one report per department, then export to PDF, XLS, or CSV for payroll.
• Idle time prompts: Ask the app what you were doing during idle gaps instead of deleting the time.

Here are the results teams see most often:

Veelgemaakte fouten van Time Doctor die je moet vermijden

Mistake #1: Rolling It Out With No Explanation

Mistake #2: Forgetting to Switch Tasks

Mistake #3: Judging People on Activity Percentage

For example, a designer working in Figma barely touches the keyboard for an hour.

Tijdsdokter Probleemoplossing

Problem: Tracked Hours Look Too Low

Oorzaak: Idle detection stripped minutes where nobody touched the mouse or keyboard.

Repareren: Raise the idle threshold in Settings, then enable the idle prompt so staff can reclaim that time.

Problem: Screenshots Are Not Appearing

Oorzaak: The desktop app lacks screen recording permission, which is common on macOS.

Repareren: Open System Settings, grant Screen Recording access, then restart the app on that device.

Problem: The Mobile App Is Missing Reports

Oorzaak: The mobile app provides basic time-tracking but lacks many advanced features.

Repareren: Open the web dashboard on a computer for full reports, analytics, and admin settings.

📌 Opmerking: If none of these fix your issue, contact Time Doctor support.
