SIA DeskTime

SIA DeskTime is a Latvian software publisher that has specialized in workforce analytics and automatic time-tracking since 2011. The company’s flagship application, DeskTime, is built for managers who need transparent insight into how office, hybrid, or fully remote teams spend their working hours without resorting to manual timesheets. After a lightweight agent is installed on Windows, macOS, or Linux machines, the program silently records active and idle time, detects visited websites and used applications, and takes optional periodic screenshots. Hour totals are then compiled into daily, weekly, or project-level reports that reveal billable utilization, overtime, and productivity trends. Typical use cases include consultancies that invoice by the minute, customer-support departments that must balance caseloads across continents, and freelancers who want proof-of-work documentation for clients. Managers can set hourly targets, assign tasks to specific projects, and compare team averages, while employees retain a private dashboard that shows their own efficiency metrics. Additional modules handle absence and shift scheduling, web-based punch-clock entry for field staff, and calendar integration that automatically attributes meeting time to the correct job code. The resulting data can be exported to Excel, CSV, or directly to payroll systems such as QuickBooks and Xero, reducing month-end administrative overhead. SIA DeskTime emphasizes GDPR-compliant data handling, granting administrators granular role-based permissions and the option to store records on EU servers. DeskTime software is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always installing the latest release and supporting batch installation alongside other applications.
