Open your laptop. You're clocked in.
The Timedox desktop app detects when your team starts and ends their day. No buttons, no reminders. Employees simply work, and their hours are captured automatically.

Digital teams forget to clock in. Every. Single. Day.
Remote developers, designers, and marketers are focused on their work, not remembering to tap a button. Forgotten punches lead to missing hours, manual corrections, payroll disputes, and wasted admin time every pay cycle.
The Timedox desktop app runs quietly in the background. It detects when your team starts and stops working, then logs their hours automatically.
Install the desktop app
Lightweight app for Mac & Windows. Install once and it runs silently in the background.
Open your computer, clock in
When the app launches (or you open your laptop), Timedox logs your clock-in automatically.
Close your day, clock out
When you close the app or go idle, Timedox logs a clock-out. No tap required.
Everything you need
From silent time capture to full manager visibility.
See who's working in real time

Desktop Auto-Track Settings
Configure how the desktop app tracks time
Built for trust, accuracy, and privacy
No surveillance. No spyware. Just accurate time capture.
Idle Detection
Detects inactivity after a configurable timeout. Pauses the clock automatically during breaks or meetings away from the desk.
Privacy-First Design
No screenshots, no keystroke logging, no screen recording. Timedox only tracks time, never what you're working on.
Offline Resilient
Lost your internet connection? The desktop app queues events locally and syncs everything when you're back online.
Tamper-Proof
Employees can't edit automatic punches. Only managers can adjust records, with a full audit trail for every change.
Works Alongside Manual Methods
Automatic In-Out complements your existing setup. Employees can still use mobile, web, or kiosk if they prefer.
Reporting Integration
Automatic punches flow into the same reports, timesheets, and payroll exports as manual entries. One unified system.
Built for digital teams
If your team works on a computer, Automatic In-Out was made for them.
Software Teams
Developers and engineers who live in their IDE all day. The app tracks hours without disrupting flow state.
Design & Creative
Designers switching between Figma, Photoshop, and review meetings. Their hours are captured automatically.
Marketing & Ops
Teams juggling campaigns, dashboards, and meetings. No more end-of-day guessing on hours.
Remote & Hybrid
Distributed teams across time zones. Everyone's hours sync to one dashboard regardless of where they work.

Frequently asked questions
No. Timedox only tracks clock-in and clock-out times. There is no screenshot capture, keystroke logging, or screen recording. We track time, not activity.
The Timedox desktop app is available for macOS (10.15+) and Windows (10+). A Linux version is on the roadmap.
Employees can't edit automatic punches directly. If a correction is needed, they can submit a timesheet edit request for manager approval.
The app detects sleep and lid-close events. Depending on your settings, it can either clock out immediately or wait for a configurable idle timeout before logging the clock-out.
Absolutely. Automatic In-Out works alongside mobile, web, kiosk, and biometric clock-ins. Each method feeds into the same unified timesheet.
The desktop app is included with all Timedox plans. No additional charge.
