Note: Keyboard and Mouse Activity monitoring is available in all Time Doctor subscription plans where screenshot feature is enabled. Activity Summary can be accessed by all access roles given that the Owner or Admin granted Regular user access role permission.
TL;DR
Track keyboard and mouse activity with the Time Doctor desktop application to measure productivity. Low activity screenshots are marked when input is minimal, and the Activity Summary report shows idle minutes and seconds. No keystroke content is ever recorded.
Understanding Keyboard and Mouse Activity Tracking
Time Doctor reports on keyboard and mouse activity levels while tracking time using the Time Doctor desktop application.
If screenshots are enabled, screenshots with minimal keyboard and mouse activity are marked as low activity screenshots.
The Activity Summary Report page displays:
- Idle Minutes % – Percentage of minutes with no keyboard or mouse activity.
- Idle Seconds % – Percentage of seconds with no keyboard or mouse activity.
Important Information
Time Doctor is not a keylogger. Tracking the specific keys pressed is considered illegal in many regions and is not performed by Time Doctor.
The desktop application:
- Counts the number of keystrokes and mouse movements.
- Calculates the percentage of minutes and seconds with activity.
- Never records the actual keys pressed or mouse actions taken.
