Payment protection and peace of mind


Freelancers track time on the app to get Hourly Payment Protection. Tracked activity can also help in case any disputes come up.


What the app tracks

When a freelancer turns the time tracker on, a client will see:

  • Images of the freelancer’s screen taken randomly 6 times an hour.
  • Number of keystrokes, mouse clicks, and scroll actions.

The app does not track what you click, what you type, applications you use, or webcam footage.
