One time clock for office, remote and field teams
Your people work in different places. Watchie proves the work in each one.
Office & remote teams
At a desk, really working?
- Activity counts and screenshots
- Mouse-jiggler and second-job signals
- Break buttons with a daily limit
Field crews
On the job site, really there?
- Clock in only at the job site
- Off-site punches flagged for you
- Drive time between jobs, logged
Field crews
A GPS time clock for field crews: clock in at the job, not from the truck
Each job site has a boundary. Crews clock in and out on their phones, and only inside it. Anything else needs a reason and lands on your desk.
- Location read only at the tap, never in between
- Drive time from one job to the next
- Foreman clocks in the whole crew
- Works without signal, nothing to install
Sound familiar? What a time clock should catch
Remote and field teams save money and widen your hiring, until you can’t tell who’s working.
Green status, empty chair
A $20 mouse jiggler keeps someone “active” for hours.
Two jobs, one paycheck from you
Someone is answering another company’s Slack on your time.
The 90-minute lunch
Breaks that stretch, and no one notices until the work slips.
Clocked in from the couch
Crew hours start at home, not at the job site.
Payroll by hand
Re-typing hours, guessing overtime, missing California’s daily rules.
The two-hour drive
A 20-minute trip between jobs that somehow takes all morning.

Fair by design
Monitoring people understand holds up.
Watchie is transparent by default. That protects your team’s trust — and protects you in an HR complaint or a wage claim.
What it records
- Hours, breaks and projects
- Activity counts — never content
- Apps and window titles
- Random screenshots, with a notice
- Job-site location at clock in and out
What it never records
- What anyone types
- Passwords or clipboard
- Camera or mic
- Location between punches or off the clock
- Anything off the clock or on a break
Payroll
From approved hours to payroll in one click.
Overtime by state, unpaid lunches, California meal-break premiums and pay rates — then a file your payroll provider imports.

Frequently asked questions
Does Watchie work for crews in the field?
Yes. Crews clock in and out on their phones, and only inside the job site’s boundary. Off-site punches need a reason and are flagged for you, drive time between jobs is logged, and a foreman can clock in the whole crew at once. Nothing to install: it runs in the phone’s browser.
Does Watchie record what people type?
No. Watchie counts keyboard and mouse activity — for example, how many keystrokes in 10 minutes — but never records which keys were pressed or what was typed. It never records passwords, the clipboard, the camera or the microphone. For field crews who clock in on a phone, it reads the location only at the moment they clock in or out.
Can Watchie tell if someone has a second job?
Watchie surfaces signals: time in another company’s Slack or Teams workspace, email accounts from other companies’ domains, remote-desktop and virtual-machine software, overlapping meetings, and long stretches with no activity. These are signals for a conversation, not proof on their own.
Is employee monitoring legal?
In the US, monitoring company work on company time is generally allowed with notice, and some states — including New York, Connecticut and Delaware — require written notice. Watchie shows every person a plain-language notice before tracking starts and records their acknowledgment. Rules differ by state and country, so check with your employment lawyer.
Does it work for contractors and overseas workers?
Yes. Contractors in the US and overseas are tracked for billing. Schedules, break limits and productivity scores are off for contractors by default, because controlling how and when a contractor works can make them an employee under the law.
Which payroll providers does it work with?
Watchie exports files for Gusto, QuickBooks, ADP and Paychex, plus a contractor payments file, with direct connections to Gusto and QuickBooks coming soon.
What computers does it run on?
The desktop app runs on Mac (macOS 11 or later) and Windows (10 or later). The dashboard works in any browser, including on a phone.
