Employee productivity is essential for any successful business, and in the 21st century, there\u2019s a myriad of different distractions that can affect it negatively. The main culprits here are \u2013 of course \u2013 social media and the Internet. An average American spends around <\/span>1300 hours a year<\/span><\/a> on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok. Long story short \u2013 wasting time on various portals when your team is supposed to be working can be a severe problem, and it can be pretty hard to pinpoint and identify by yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n

From a manager\u2019s perspective, knowing precisely how much time your team members spend on different parts of a project is incredibly valuable, especially in the case of smaller teams, where each person’s contribution matters much more.

Thankfully, there\u2019s a category of software that helps you with all that and more \u2013 time tracking tools.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Our <\/span>Timing<\/span><\/a> is a premium time tracking tool for Mac users. The Timing app is easy to use and also highly configurable. Our solution automatically tracks your work and lets you categorize it into projects. You can also set up rules to automate these assignments. Thanks to that, it\u2019s much easier to <\/span>optimize your time tracking<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The application also monitors your activity and stops tracking if it detects you\u2019re not at your desk \u2013 it can even ask you what you did once you get back. You can input the entry manually via the Timeline to ensure no time is lost or unaccounted for.<\/span><\/p>\n

    You can visualize the results and get very detailed reports. You can also generate a productivity score \u2013 to see how well you use your time \u2013 and the application gives you the ability to specify which projects you consider important. There\u2019s also an option to sync the work between different Mac devices.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Finally, it\u2019s also worth noting that <\/span>our design philosophy takes users’ privacy into account<\/span><\/a>. Timing stores all your data locally on your Mac unless you activate the built-in sync between your Mac devices, and all sync data is encrypted. Private browser tabs will automatically discard information, so it’s safe to use incognito mode without fear of saving your activity during browsing sessions. And even <\/span>when used in a team context<\/span><\/a>, managers can only see the total duration recorded towards a project, but not which apps, documents or websites their team members used.<\/span><\/p>\n
