ITRemote

Time tracking for remote and hybrid teams that fills People timesheets, designed around the DPDP Act.

Remote tracks time on Projects tasks or People time codes from a visible desktop agent, the web or the mobile app. Tracked time pre-fills the People weekly timesheet, which stays the timesheet of record, and approved hours flow on to Projects billing and People payroll. Monitoring is set by policy, off or minimal by default, and every employee can see everything held about them. The desktop agent is in early access.

  • Idle handling: keep, remove, meeting or break

What it does

Remote in detail

Time tracking

Track time where people work, and keep it accurate without manual re-entry.

  • Timer on the desktop agent, the web and the mobile app
  • Projects and tasks from Projects, or People time codes
  • Shift-aware start and stop that the employee can always see and stop
  • Idle detection with a keep, remove, meeting or break choice
  • Offline queue on the desktop that syncs safely later
  • Manual time requests approved by the manager

Timesheets, attendance, billing and payroll

Remote feeds the records you already use rather than creating new ones.

  • Net tracked hours written into the People weekly timesheet, never overwriting the employee’s own edits
  • Employee reviews and submits; the manager approves in People
  • Approved billable hours reach Projects billing and Books invoices
  • Hourly and contract pay rates flow into People payroll
  • First and last activity become attendance on remote and WFH days, with WFH requests

Activity and productivity

See how time is spent at team level, from counts and categories rather than content.

  • Activity measured as keyboard and mouse counts per 10-minute slot, never which keys
  • Application and website domain usage, with window titles only when the employee opts in
  • Productive, neutral and unproductive categories per company and team
  • Focus time, meeting load and productivity trends
  • Overtime, burnout, late start and unusual-input alerts

Screenshots and screen views, under policy

Where a company chooses to use them, captures follow one policy, one retention clock and one audit trail.

  • Screenshots off, blurred on the device (default) or full, at random times in each interval
  • Employees can delete a screenshot within a grace window, which removes that time
  • Short screen clips and live screen view, both off by default, with a visible banner and a required reason
  • Microphone clips off everywhere by default; only a tenant admin can enable them, and only with each employee’s signed consent
  • Every view and playback audited and shown to the employee

Manager views and team rituals

Help managers support a distributed team.

  • Live team status with Sangam presence
  • Timeline per person and timesheet review with activity
  • Async stand-ups and weekly check-ins posted to a Sangam channel
  • Automatic work status in Sangam showing what someone is working on
  • CSV export, a weekly PDF and figures for Analytics
Built for India

Indian rules, built in

Defaults follow the DPDP Act 2023 and Indian privacy law. A company should take legal advice before switching on screen clips, live view or microphone clips.

How Thoshika handles Indian compliance

  • Monitoring policy acknowledged by each employee, by e-sign through Documents, before tracking starts
  • No hidden mode, no keystroke content, no webcam photos and nothing outside working hours
  • Sensitive apps such as banking, health and password managers are never recorded
  • My data page, export, privacy requests with a grievance contact, and consent withdrawal
  • Retention per data type with automatic deletion
Who uses it

Roles in Remote

Every person signs in once. Roles decide what they see, and can be limited to a location, branch or other scope where the app supports it.

Employee

Tracks their own time, reviews entries and screenshots, and sees everything held about them.

Manager

Approves manual time and WFH, reviews timesheets and sees team status for their reporting line.

Remote admin

Sets policies, categories, geofences, pay rates and retention, and reads the audit log.

HR, payroll and project managers

Use attendance, payroll hours and project time reports for their work.

Works with

Connected to the rest of Thoshika

Apps share one directory, one sign-in and the same records, so nothing is keyed in twice.

On the roadmap

Planned work, not available today. Timing is not committed.

  • Signed installers, automatic updates and verified Windows and macOS builds for the desktop agent
  • Turning Sangam and Bookings meetings into time entries
  • Browser extension timers and a global start-stop shortcut
  • Under-target reminders and a connectivity report
  • Optional face matching at clock-in, with separate consent
