There is time data, but no picture
A timesheet shows attendance. It does not explain why the team keeps missing requests.
KeepActive 2.0 for transparent team management
Forbes Advisor Shortlist mention
Work time stops being a black box
KeepActive shows where the day goes: who is actually working, where idle time builds up, which websites and apps drain hours, and where risk appears. Not by gut feeling — by reports, screenshots, and events.

Why it matters
The real problem is rarely “people are lazy”. More often, it is a lack of visibility.
A manager sees the result at the end of the month, but not where it leaked: waiting time, empty calls, unproductive websites, overloaded strong performers, or quiet imitation of work.
02
Remote work runs on blind trust
Without facts, a manager either reacts too late or turns into an irritating micromanager.
03
Strong people carry more, weak performers hide
Workload gets distributed by habit, not by data. Overload and idle time become normal.
KeepActive is not about standing behind people’s backs. It is about opening one panel in the morning and understanding what is happening with work.
Control without theatre. Data without manual reports.-
The manager sees the whole team
who is online, who is idle, who works in the right tools, and where the imbalance starts.
-
Employees see their own numbers
self‑monitoring lowers tension because people understand what is counted as work.
-
HR and Security get facts
not chat screenshots or rumors, but reports, events, activity history, and access rules.
Inside KeepActive 2.0
Not surveillance. A live dashboard for team activity and productivity.
See time, productivity, websites, apps, screenshots, events, and access settings in one system. Switch a scenario and the screen changes with it.
Rollout
The first findings arrive faster than a long meeting ends
Implementation does not have to become a six‑month IT project. Start with one department, show managers a clear picture, and scale the rules.
-
Choose the scenario
Soft time tracking, full monitoring, remote employees, security risks, or project control.
-
Set roles and schedules
Who sees what, which hours count as working hours, where screenshots are needed, and which events matter.
-
Look at facts
Reports, screenshots, websites, apps, late starts, idle time, and alerts are collected automatically.

Control without backlash
Employees accept monitoring more calmly when the rules are stated clearly
Bad control feels like secret surveillance. Good control is a clear system: what is collected, during which hours, who sees the data, and why the business needs it.
Working hours only
screenshots and activity are filtered by schedule.
Roles and access
a team lead sees their department; an admin manages settings.
Self‑monitoring
employees see their own numbers and offline activity.
Events instead of noise
notifications help return attention to work without drama.
You can see what is happening nowonline status, active app, and an instant screenshot when needed.

Why not a regular time tracker
A time tracker answers “how long”. KeepActive answers “why”.
| Scenario | Basic time tracking | KeepActive 2.0 |
|---|---|---|
| What the manager sees | Hours the employee entered or tracked with a timer. | Workday, activity, websites, apps, screenshots, events, and team dynamics. |
| Remote work | You have to trust reports and messenger statuses. | Online statuses, activity history, working‑hour filters, and employee self‑monitoring. |
| Risks and violations | Handled after the fact, if someone notices the issue. | Event rules, alerts, context recording, and fast drill‑down into details. |
| Company rollout | Often one access level and shared settings. | Org structure, roles, departments, schedules, inherited settings, cloud or On‑Premise. |
| Conversation with an employee | “I feel like you are not working enough.” | “Here is the day, here is idle time, here is overload, here are KPIs — let’s find the cause.” |
