Employee Time Tracker
SETT
Track work hours, idle time, AFK work, and manual time you log yourself. Plan the day with tasks, subtasks, reminders and a calendar view, allocate effort to what you actually worked on, and let teams manage schedules, leave, business trip, overtime, and work day swaps in one place. Available on Windows and Android.
Why SETT?
Everything you need for transparent time tracking, schedule-based policies, and team updates.
One-click time tracking
Start and stop work with a single click. See today’s work hours and idle time at a glance.
Idle detection
Automatic idle detection with idle reasons. Keep activity history accurate without extra effort.
AFK work
When you were working away from the keyboard—meetings, reading, on-site tasks—mark an idle period as Working AFK with proof. That time counts as work, not break, in reports and summaries.
Manual time entries
Add custom work periods the tracker didn’t capture: pick a date, start and end time, describe what you did, and attach a proof image. Review and edit them under Activity history.
Location at start of work
When you start working, SETT records your location (e.g. IP-based on desktop) so admins can see where the session began. Visible in work history and the dashboard.
App & window tracking
See which apps and windows were active. Break down time by application for clearer reporting.
Optional screenshots
Configurable screenshots for accountability. Admins control intervals and retention.
Activity & effort reports
Activity history with activities, idle instances, and manual entries; daily effort summaries. Filter by date; admins get AI-generated summaries when enabled.
Daily tasks & reminders
Plan each day with a personal task list. Each task has description, target start/end dates, estimated and remaining effort, status (Pending, In progress, Completed, Cancelled, Delayed), priority (Top, High, Medium, Low, Optional), and an Urgent flag.
Calendar task view
Switch between a daily Tasks view and a monthly Calendar view. The calendar shows per-day counts by status so you can spot busy or delayed days at a glance, then click a day to load it in the task list.
Effort allocation
At the end of the day, distribute your tracked work hours across your tasks in 0.25-hour increments. See total worked, per-task hours, and any unallocated time. Save while you’re still editing, then Finalize to lock the date.
Task transfer
Need to hand a task off to a teammate? Submit a transfer request with a reason; an admin reviews, approves, or rejects it. Approved transfers reassign the parent task and all its subtasks in one step.
Subtasks & dependencies
Break big tasks into subtasks with their own dates, effort, and statuses. Parent progress and status roll up automatically. Add dependencies so a task can’t be completed until its blockers are done — cycles are prevented for you.
Task attachments
Attach files or images to any task (up to 25 MB each). Open images in a viewer, download other file types, and remove uploads you no longer need. Every add and remove is tracked.
Task conversations
Discuss work directly on the task. Employees and admins post comments in a shared thread, with unread badges on task rows so important replies aren’t missed. Opening the task clears the unread count.
Task history
Every task keeps an audit log: created, status changes, description, dates, effort and priority updates, urgent flag, attachments, comments, and transfer events — with actor, timestamp, and old → new values.
Reminders
Create reminders linked to a task or standalone, with description and remind-at time. Get a desktop toast when one fires; dismiss or snooze for 1 hour or 1 day. Admins can also set reminders for their employees.
Workflow templates
Admins build reusable workflows — tasks, subtasks, dependencies, and default effort — then publish to one or more employees. The system creates the full task hierarchy with computed dates and dependency links in one click.
Team announcements
Admins can publish rich-text announcements (with images/video) to your organization. Employees get updates inside the app with unread tracking so important messages are not missed.
Work schedules by team
Org admins can define named work schedules by weekday, expected hours, and overtime eligibility rules, then assign them to employees for consistent attendance and policy handling.
Business trip applications
Employees can file business trip requests for full-day or half-day travel (AM/PM). Admin approval marks covered working days as present in attendance reports, with schedule-based presumed login/logout and effort.
Overtime requests & approvals
Eligible employees can submit overtime requests with maximum hours, reason, and optional attachment. Admins approve, reject, or adjust approved hours from a dedicated management view.
Work day swap requests
Employees can request swapping a scheduled working day with a rest day or holiday. After approval, attendance follows the swapped dates so reports stay accurate.
Urgent voice messages
Admins can record and send voice messages to the team. When you’re working or idle you get an instant popup to play; otherwise find them in the Voice inbox.
Secure & organized
Organization-based access, optional 2FA for admins, secure login, and signed requests. Your data stays protected.
