Loved by teams
Managers and employees both win
“We finally see how the day actually flows. Idle gaps dropped and nobody feels spied on — they see the same data we do.”
Sarah Whitman
Ops Lead · Remote agency
“Setup took an afternoon. Projects, tasks and chat in one place means I stopped juggling five different tools.”
Daniel Osei
Founder · BPO startup
“I like that it's transparent — I can check my own activity and tasks, and screenshots auto-delete. It respects us.”

About
Monitoring that builds trust, not resentment
Traditional monitoring tools feel like surveillance, so teams resent them and managers stop trusting the numbers. Quillclock was built on the opposite principle: monitoring should be mutual. Every employee gets their own portal showing exactly the data their manager sees — accountability without the anxiety.
Beyond tracking, it is a complete workspace: assign projects and tasks, get alerts when something needs attention, and chat with your team — at a price small businesses and agencies can actually afford.
Built for trust
Consent-first monitoring employees can see too.
All-in-one
Tracking, projects, tasks, alerts and chat.
Fast to deploy
One desktop app — sign in and go, no config.
Affordable
Enterprise features without the price tag.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is Quillclock?+
Quillclock is employee monitoring and productivity-tracking software for remote and hybrid teams. It measures activity levels, tracks apps and time, manages projects and tasks, and includes an employee portal, alerts and team chat — all in one app.
Is employee monitoring legal?+
In most places, monitoring company-owned devices during work hours is legal when disclosed. Quillclock is built around transparency: every employee must accept a monitoring invite before any data is collected, and the app clearly shows what is and isn't captured.
Does Quillclock record keystrokes or read messages?+
No. Quillclock counts how many keys are pressed to estimate activity, but never records which keys — it is not a keylogger. It doesn't read message content, files or passwords.
Which platforms does the agent support?+
The desktop agent runs on Windows. Employees install a single app, sign in, and accept the invite — no configuration files or technical setup required.
Can employees see their own activity?+
Yes. Employees get a self-service portal to view their own activity, trends, tasks and messages. Admins can turn each employee's self-view on or off.
Who is Quillclock for?+
Remote-first teams, agencies, BPOs, call centers, outsourcing firms and any business that wants a fair, transparent way to understand productivity and manage distributed work.
