In most cases, users can tell when DeskTime is running on their computer. The app shows its status through the DeskTime desktop icon, which appears on the taskbar, depending on the operating system.
By clicking the DeskTime icon, users can check whether the app is running and tracking time. From there, they can open their personal DeskTime view by clicking on Show My DeskTime. This allows them to see their tracked time and productivity data when needed.
It’s important to note that DeskTime does not work the same way for every setup. In some configurations, the app may run with limited visibility for users. In these cases, the usual visual indicators may not be shown on the user’s computer.
DeskTime is designed to be transparent by default, while offering flexibility for companies with specific requirements.
