Linux time tracker with screenshots for client work
OneTrack is a native desktop time tracker for Linux, with one installer for Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, openSUSE and Arch, that sends every hour to your timesheets and invoices.
No credit card required
A native app, not a web page
No bundled browser, so it starts quickly and stays light in your tray all day. On X11 it tracks time, activity and screenshots. On Wayland it tracks time and idle time through GNOME or KDE, but can't take screenshots, because Wayland doesn't allow unattended screen capture.
Time tracking with proof of work
Start the timer on a client, project and task. The app counts time in ten-minute slices, gives each an activity level, and takes screenshots at random moments in the capture window you choose.
It shares one clock with the web app, so a timer started in your browser shows here too, and a pause or stop reaches the other within seconds.

Out of the way while you work
The timer and its controls live in the system tray, so you can close the window and keep tracking. Set the app to launch when you log in, starting hidden.
Choose whether to be notified when a screenshot is taken or the timer starts or stops, and when to be asked about idle time.
Never loses an hour
Each slice is saved the moment it ends. Offline, your time and screenshots wait on your computer and upload when you're back online; captures more than 72 hours old are dropped unsent.
Quit the app and it uploads what's left first, showing you what it's still sending.
Connect once, stay connected
Click Sign in in OneTrack and finish in your browser, with the account you already use. The one-time link expires after ten minutes, and the app keeps its sign-in in your system's secure storage.
Sign out in OneTrack whenever you like, and the computer stops syncing to your account.

FAQ
Linux app questions, answered
Still have questions? Talk to our team.
Which distributions does it support?
One 64-bit installer covers Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, Arch and their derivatives. It installs for your user account, so updates never ask for a password.
Does it work on Wayland?
Partly. Time and idle time work on GNOME and KDE, but screenshots aren't taken on Wayland, which doesn't allow unattended screen capture. On X11 everything works.
Does the desktop app record what I type?
No. It reads when you last used the keyboard or mouse, never which keys you pressed.
Does it track when the timer is off?
No. Nothing is collected unless the timer is running: no time, no screenshots, no activity.
How does the app update?
It checks for new versions and can download and install them for you, either straight away or when you next quit. It only installs an update automatically if the download matches its published checksum.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Every plan starts with a free 14-day trial, and you don't need a credit card to sign up.
