WatchieEmployee activity tracking that tells real work from a mouse jiggler
Watchie counts clicks, keystrokes and real mouse movement in 10-minute blocks — never what anyone types — and calls out patterns that only a gadget or script makes.
What’s included in activity tracking
Activity % per 10 minutes
Seconds with any keyboard or mouse input ÷ seconds tracked. Shown as a colored strip for the whole day, with the number always visible.
Counts, never content
How many clicks and keystrokes, and how far the mouse moved. Never which keys or what was typed.
Mouse-jiggler detection
Movement at machine-regular intervals, identical-size moves and motion with no clicks or typing are flagged with the reason.
Apps and websites
Which app is in front and for how long. Window titles can be switched off for app names only.
Unproductive time
Time in entertainment, social and shopping apps is summarized. Add your own list.
Explainable scores
Every day gets a score with plain-language reasons you can show the person.
Activity tracking: frequently asked questions
Does Watchie record what people type?
No. Watchie counts whether the keyboard and mouse were used each second. It never records which keys were pressed, what was typed, passwords or the clipboard.
How does Watchie spot a mouse jiggler?
Gadgets and scripts move the mouse in patterns people don’t: perfectly regular timing, identical movements, motion with no clicks or typing, and no change of window. Watchie flags 10-minute blocks that look like that and says exactly why.
How does second-job detection work?
Watchie surfaces signals: time in another company’s Slack or Teams workspace, email from other companies’ domains, remote-desktop or virtual-machine software, and overlapping meetings. These are reasons for a conversation, not proof on their own.
How often are screenshots taken?
You choose 0 to 3 per 10 minutes, at a random moment. Screenshots can be blurred, every person sees a notice when one is taken, and you can let people delete one within 10 minutes.
How long are screenshots kept?
30 days by default, and you can change it. Older screenshots are deleted automatically.
Does Watchie use the camera or microphone?
No. Watchie never turns on the camera or the microphone.
Is anything recorded on a break or off the clock?
No. Nothing is tracked while someone is on a break or clocked out.
