The My DeskTime page is your personalized dashboard. It is the first page you see upon login and serves as the primary hub for monitoring your daily, weekly, or monthly statistics.
This page is always accessible, allowing every user to stay informed about their activities.
Key Metrics and Features
Arrival Time
The moment you log into the desktop app or start manual tracking. You can also set DeskTime to start automatically with your computer.
If you log in later than your scheduled start time, this section will turn red to alert you.
Left Time
The time of your last recorded activity. To stop the clock, log out of the desktop app or shut down your computer. If using manual tracking, you must stop the Web/Mobile timer manually. Left Time also reflects the end of a Calendar event or Offline time.
This window turns red if you log out before your shift ends.
Productive Time
The total duration spent actively using applications, websites, and programs categorized as Productive. Read more information on this below.
DeskTime Time
The total active time spent across all productivity levels (Productive, Neutral, and Unproductive). It does not include time when the computer was switched off or locked, but does include manually tracked time (Offline time and Calendar time).
Time at Work
The total span from Arrival to Left Time. This includes all tracked time plus any Idle, Deleted, or Private time.
Projects time
Your total time spent on projects.
Effectiveness
Your Productive time divided by the minimum hours defined in your settings. This metric becomes more accurate as the day progresses and you get closer to your hourly goals.
Productivity
The ratio of Productive time compared to total DeskTime Time. A lower percentage doesn't always mean slacking - it is often a sign that your Neutral or Unproductive app categories need adjusting.
Productivity Bar
A visual timeline of your day divided into 5-minute segments. It is color-coded (green/gray/orange) by productivity level and displays specific apps, URLs, manual time, Private/Deleted time, and Idle periods.
Projects Bar
If you use Project Tracking, this bar displays the specific projects and tasks you worked on, including their exact duration and timing.
Shifts
A detailed breakdown of your Work Schedule. This includes your assigned shift times vs. your actual Arrival/Left times, total time at work, and your productivity metrics specifically during those shift hours.
Tracked Applications and URLs
A comprehensive list of every app and website used during the selected period. Categorized as Productive, Neutral and Unproductive. You can hover over any entry to see specific window titles and time stamps. Company Administrators / Company Owners can also change productivity levels for the entire account or team directly from this list.
Categories
A bar chart categorizing your usage by type, such as Email, Social Media, Office Apps, or Entertainment. This includes both default and custom categories.
Projects
A list view showing the total time invested in all projects, with the ability to view specific tasks and individual time entries.
Screenshots
If enabled, your screenshots appear at the bottom of this page. Each thumbnail includes the program name, productivity level, and a timestamp. Company administrators / Company Owner can also download or delete screenshots from this view.
