A single productivity score derived from activity across the business tools a team already uses.

Watching people work, or proving the work happened
workmonitor.vsScreenshot-based monitoring
What the evidence is
With WorkMonitor
A work-edge record built from commits, tickets, documents and active-tab URLs, with no pixel capture in the proof path.
Screenshot-based monitoring
Screenshots on an interval, plus an activity percentage derived from keyboard and mouse events.
Showing a client
With WorkMonitor
A signed, timestamped certificate they verify on a public page, disclosing only the fields you choose.
Screenshot-based monitoring
Export the screenshots into a deck, which exposes the client’s own data to prove you worked on it.
What "productive" means
With WorkMonitor
Focus and deep-work stretches with category overrides you control, and every score opens into its breakdown.
Screenshot-based monitoring
Input volume, which rewards fidgeting and penalises reading, thinking and pair work.
When a decision is challenged
With WorkMonitor
A transparency view of their own record, a dispute route with a right to human review, and a log of who looked — so the decision holds up when somebody pushes back on it.
Screenshot-based monitoring
Data collected about a person that the person cannot see and cannot contest, which is where the argument starts.
Capture cadence
With WorkMonitor
Randomised cadence, plus integrity signals that detect simulated input and downgrade any proof built on it.
Screenshot-based monitoring
A fixed interval, which everybody learns within a week and works around.
Operating across borders
With WorkMonitor
Capture policy per region, consent recorded against a version, and written guidance for 32 jurisdictions.
Screenshot-based monitoring
One policy applied everywhere, and a legal review that starts from scratch in each new market.
The question we get asked
A single score is easy to communicate. Does breaking it apart make it harder to act on?
The score is still there and still single. What changes is that it opens: click it and you get the focus stretches, meeting load and work edges it was computed from. That matters the first time somebody disputes their number, because a score nobody can inspect is a score you end up defending with your judgement rather than with the data.
Integrity — anomalies flagged for a person to weigh
What WorkMonitor ships, with its real status
- WORM-anchored certificates (from a finalized invoice)
- Public no-login verifier
- Selective disclosure
Switching
Bringing your Prodoscore history across
Nobody switches tools if it means abandoning a year of history. Export yours as CSV and the importer maps it onto our columns. There is no dedicated Prodoscore preset yet, so expect to line the columns up once rather than not at all.
The columns your export needs to line up with
- date
- minutes
- project
- task
- note
Six columns, mapped once on the first import. Rows that cannot be normalised still pass through, so the importer reports exactly which ones need attention rather than rejecting the file.
After the import
Where your Prodoscore history lands
Imported hours sit on the same ledger as everything captured after them, so a week from before the switch and a week from after it are read the same way. Corrections append with an author and a reason rather than overwriting, which is what lets you answer why a number changed long after anyone remembers.
App categories — how apps are classified, and your overrides
When Prodoscore is the better answer
You want a score computed purely from SaaS telemetry with no endpoint agent at all.
If that is the deciding requirement, buy that instead. Nothing on this page is worth reading if the unflattering half is missing from it, which is also why every capability above carries its real status rather than a tick.
Questions
Moving from Prodoscore
Answered about what WorkMonitor does, including where the answer is no.
- Does WorkMonitor need an agent installed, or can it work from SaaS data alone?
- The integrations layer reads from the tools you already run, and the agent adds the endpoint signal on top. An agentless configuration gives you a narrower picture — that is a real trade, and if avoiding an endpoint install is the binding constraint, a telemetry-only tool is the better fit.
- How do I move my Prodoscore data into WorkMonitor?
- Export it as CSV and the importer maps it onto our columns — email, date, minutes, project, task, note. There is no dedicated preset for this vendor yet, so the columns get lined up once on the first import. Scores are not imported, because a score computed by another model would be unexplainable here — and every score on this side has to open into the activity behind it.
- Can I see what a WorkMonitor productivity score is made of?
- Yes — every score opens into its breakdown: the focus and deep-work stretches, the meeting load and the work edges behind it. The subject can see the same breakdown and dispute it, which is what makes the number usable in a performance conversation.
- Does WorkMonitor detect gamed or simulated activity?
- Yes. Integrity signals flag simulated input and downgrade any proof built on top of it, and the capture cadence is randomised precisely because a fixed interval is learned and worked around within about a week.
- How many tools does WorkMonitor integrate with?
- Thirty-six, and the catalogue is derived from the connectors that actually exist in the codebase rather than from a wish list. A test walks it in both directions on every build, so a connector cannot be listed without an implementation behind it.
- Does WorkMonitor cost more if we connect more tools?
- No, integrations are not metered. Pricing is per seat, the first two are free, and the full tier list is published rather than quoted.

Take these with you
The software is the easy part of a rollout
Here is what we would send a manager doing one for the first time: how to read a productivity number, what to say to a remote team before anything is installed, and a policy you can adopt as written.
Point it at one team for a week.
Create the account, put the agent on a handful of desks, and leave it alone. On Friday you read the week instead of reconstructing it: hours against their projects, focus and idle per person, and the timesheets already filled in.
Free for two seats. No card, and no sales call to sit through.
