Local Machine Monitoring Tool

BloomerzUK · 2 Aug 2011 at 10:33

Hi Guys/Gals,

Does anyone know of a local machine monitoring tool (free) that can monitor things like what programs were open when, and for what times (when opened and when closed).

We need this for to see how much work someone has done in the office, at her own request.

Any feedback will be appreciated.

Many Thanks,

Jake

Anyone?

Hi Treehouse,

Thanks for the response. What I require is something that can just track how long programs are open for, at what time and dates etc. Nothing to granular (as in what exactly are they doing.. no keylogging). It's actually a request from one of my colleagues to track how much work she is doing in the day, as she works on hourly pay. We track all of our work hours.

I hope this is enough information.

Many thanks,
Jake

I've asked on another forum, and I've found something called: Wakoopa. Seems good.. testing it at the moment.

I've just started using ManicTime (http://www.manictime.com/) at home and find it perfect for keeping track of how long I spend using various applications.
You can set it up to even record how long you spend on particular document.

I'm using the free version, they do have a paid version that has more features.

Thanks ever so much Janp. That has the features I need plus more! We've decided to use it company wide. Kudos.
