Why Move from Time Doctor Classic to the New Time Doctor?

 

Note: Migration to the New Time Doctor is available in all plans and can be accessed by Owners.

 

TL;DR: 
 
Move from Time Doctor Classic to unlock automatic monitoring (assisted and non‑assisted options available), richer and more configurable reports, smarter email notifications, and support for Chrome OS via the Time Doctor Browser App for Chrome.

 

Why upgrade

Access additional controls and insights designed to improve productivity and visibility across teams:

  • Enable Automatic Monitoring to capture work without manual timer actions.
  • Start Tracking upon Computer Login to begin the day automatically.
  • Avoid losing time data during calls with Do Not Time Out on selected meeting apps (e.g., Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Webex, Skype).
  • Run on Chrome OS via the Time Doctor Browser App for Chrome.
  • Configure Trigger‑based Email Notifications to spot trends, exceptions, or inactivity in real time.
  • Explore enhanced web and app usage reports, internet connectivity reporting, work‑life balance insights, and additional custom reports.
  • Organize teams efficiently with Groups for easier filtering and reporting.
