Employee Monitoring that drives better decisions.

Modge employee monitoring is built around the signals managers actually use to make calls. Active sessions, project time, app and website usage, focus patterns, and attendance, all in one dashboard. Less chasing answers. More acting on them.

Employee WHAT MODGE EMPLOYEE MONITORING ISMonitoring

Workforce signals, structured for action.

Modge is employee monitoring built around the workforce signals a manager actually needs. When sessions started. What apps and websites were used. Where idle time crept in. How the day scored. All of it rolls into the dashboards, timesheets, and attendance reports that drive real operational decisions. The team sees the same view their manager sees, so the conversation moves from "what happened?" to "what do we do next?"

It’s more than monitoring; it’s a

HOW IT WORKS

Employee monitoring, from install to insight in three steps.

When the productivity number changes, drill into the timeline, the apps, and the patterns that drove it.

Step 1

Capture

The desktop agent installs in about two minutes on macOS or Windows. From the first session onward it captures time, apps, websites, and (only if you enable them) screenshots.

image
Step 2

Analyze

Apps and websites are classified - productive, neutral, or unproductive - using rules you set per organization or per job title. Activity rolls into a productivity score, a timeline, and adherence reports.

image
Step 3

Act

Managers see signals worth acting on: idle streaks, missed shifts, burnout patterns, suspicious activity. Most teams have their first "we need to fix this" conversation inside the first week.

 CORE FEATURES

Built for the workday managers actually run.

Automatic activity capture

Stop chasing the team for status updates. Sessions, apps, and websites are captured automatically by the desktop agent, so the data is ready before anyone has to ask.

Real-time team status

Catch problems while they're still fixable. See who's working right now, on which project, in which app, across every time zone, on one screen.

Productivity score

Make 1:1s and reviews about facts, not feelings. A single score per person, team, or project, aggregated by day, week, or month, so trends are obvious in 30 seconds.

Activity timeline

 Find the hour the day went sideways. Each workday renders as colored blocks (productive, neutral, unproductive, idle), so the whole picture is one scroll wide.

Idle and break detection

Pay for work, not for abandoned screens. Quiet sessions are detected and flagged automatically, so tracked hours and client invoices reflect actual work.

Optional screenshots, blurred on demand

Defensible proof of work without breaking team trust. Off by default; opt in per team or per person, with configurable intervals and configurable blur.

Suspicious-activity flags

Mouse jigglers. Scripted clicks. Login hours that don't match anyone's calendar. Surfaced before they show up on an invoice.

Roles and permissions

 Role-scoped access from the database. Each manager sees only what they're allowed to see.

Audit trail on every change

Win any payroll dispute. Survive any audit. Every manual time edit, every approval, and every classification override is logged with who, when, what, and why.

image
LIVE VISIBILITY

What's happening right now, on one screen.

The live view a manager keeps open in a tab all day.

Real-time team status

Live list of every team member who's currently working: their project, their active app, and the productivity score for the session in progress.

Activity Levels & Engagement

See who's deeply engaged, who's coasting, and who's stuck. Sessions are scored as they happen - not after the fact.

Privacy-first screenshots

Optional screenshot capture with configurable intervals and configurable blur. Off by default; opt-in per team or per person.

 THE WHY BEHIND THE NUMBERS

Why the score is what it is, broken down for you.

When the productivity number changes, drill into the timeline, the apps, and the patterns that drove it.

Activity Timeline

Every session is plotted as a colored block on the day. Productive, neutral, unproductive, idle. Hover for app & url, project, and duration.

App & URL Classification

Every app and website is classified using rules you control. Override at the organization level, then again per job title - the same app can be productive for one role and neutral for another.

Pattern detection

Burnout signals, frequent app switching, suspicious activity - surfaced as soon as the patterns hit your configured thresholds. (Future: AI-generated recommendations.)

CONTROL

Control that scales with the org chart.

Centralized governance, role-scoped access, and the policy controls a multi-team operation actually needs.

Time, attendance, and shift adherence

Automatic clock-in/out with schedule adherence — late arrivals and overtime flagged without manual tracking.

Team Benchmarks

Compare productivity, focus time, and adherence across teams or departments. Identify where the working culture is healthy and where it isn't.

Role-based permissions

Role-scoped from the database. Each manager sees only their teams. Owners control who can edit policies, override classifications, and view raw activity.

BUILT FOR PERFORMANCE TEAMS

Built for every team that values performance.

Built for every team that values both performance and trust.

Employee Monitoring (FAQ)

The Ultimate Guide to Employee Monitoring

 Is Modge surveillance software?

No. Modge captures the workforce signals a manager needs - sessions, projects, apps, websites, idle time, productivity scores. It does not log keystrokes, read files, capture mouse positions, or follow your team outside of work sessions. Screenshots are completely optional and off by default.

What does Modge actually capture?

Active session start/end times, the projects assigned to those sessions, the apps and websites used, idle gaps, and (only if you enable them) screenshots at the interval you configure. That's the full list.

Does Modge log keystrokes?

 No. We do not capture keystrokes, ever. The product was built without keystroke logging on purpose, and we have no plans to add it.

Does Modge track mouse movements or positions?

No. We don't capture mouse coordinates, click positions, or movement paths. Modge can detect that a session has gone idle (no input for longer than your configured threshold) but we never record what was clicked or where the cursor went.

 Are screenshots required?

No. Screenshots are off by default. You can enable them per team or per individual, set the capture interval to match your policy, and toggle blur at the organization level or per person. Many of our customers run Modge for years without ever turning screenshots on.

Can employees see their own monitoring data?

Yes. Employees have access to their own dashboard with the same activity, scores, and timesheets their manager sees. We've found that visibility for the person doing the work drives more behavior change than visibility for the manager alone.

Is Modge legal in my country?

Modge is GDPR-compliant and used by companies across the EU, UK, North America, and APAC. Local employment law varies - most jurisdictions require employees to be notified that monitoring is in place. We provide template notification language to help. Talk to your local employment counsel for specifics.

What happens to my data if I cancel?

Your data is exportable at any time during the subscription. After cancellation, your account stays read-only for 30 days for export. After that, your data is removed from our systems.

Does Modge work on macOS and Windows?

Yes. The same agent runs on both. Linux and mobile are on the roadmap.

Can I monitor only certain teams?

Yes. Monitoring policies are set per organization, per team, or per individual. The agent only collects what your policy allows.

Can the team turn off monitoring during personal time?

The agent only captures activity during active work sessions, which the user starts and stops. There's no background tracking when the agent isn't running. Many teams set the agent to run only during configured working hours.

What compliance certifications does Modge hold?

ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and SOC 2 Type II. Annual third-party penetration testing and security audits. Encryption at rest with AES-256 and in transit with TLS 1.3.
