OneTrack, the desktop app, gives every ten minutes of tracked time an activity level from keyboard and mouse use, so you and your clients can see how the time was spent. It never records what you type.
When you bill by the hour, a number on a timesheet only goes so far. Activity levels add a simple signal to each stretch of tracked time, how much of it someone was at the keyboard or mouse, and sit beside the screenshots and the task the time was tracked against.
Four steps, all of them on your own computer until the slice is saved.
01
While the desktop timer runs, the day is recorded ten minutes at a time. Each slice is saved the moment it ends, so closing the laptop never loses work already done.
02
In each slice the app checks your computer's record of when the keyboard or mouse was last used. It learns that you were there, never which keys you pressed or what you wrote.
03
The activity level is the share of the slice you were at the keyboard or mouse. Tristiks Grow shows it as High from 75%, Medium from 40% and Low below that, and marks a slice with no input as Idle.
04
Your timeline shows each slice with its screenshots, and above it the day's tracked time, average activity and number of screenshots.
As the account owner you see everyone on the team in one table: time tracked, average activity, screenshots taken and when each person's tracker was last seen. A green dot marks who is tracking right now.
Open a name to see that person's day, slice by slice. Teammates see only their own.

Every slice carries its own level, so a quiet ten minutes doesn't hide inside a busy hour and a busy one isn't averaged away.
A low level isn't always a problem: a call, a long read or a sketch on paper all look quiet. Read it beside the screenshots and the task, not on its own.
Each card is ten minutes of work. Open one.
On your own account the choice is yours: whether keyboard and mouse activity is recorded is one of your tracking preferences.
When you track for someone else's account, its owner can lock activity tracking on. That rule applies only while you track for that account.

It measures how active someone was during tracked time, usually from keyboard and mouse use, so hours can be backed up with evidence. Tristiks Grow gives every ten minutes of desktop-tracked time an activity level and shows it beside the screenshots for that time.
Tracked time is recorded in ten-minute slices. For each slice the desktop app checks, every few seconds, whether the keyboard or mouse was in use, and the activity level is the share of that slice you were active. A day's average covers all its slices.
Tristiks Grow shows 75% and above as High, 40% to 74% as Medium and 1% to 39% as Low. A slice with no keyboard or mouse input is shown as Idle.
No. The desktop app only reads when you last used the keyboard or mouse. It never records which keys you pressed or what you wrote.
You can see your own. Teammates can't see each other's. The account owner can see the whole team's and open anyone's day.
On your own account, yes: whether keyboard and mouse activity is recorded is one of your tracking preferences. If you track for someone else's account, its owner can require it while you track for them.
