Screenshot Time Tracking That Stays on Your Server
Remote teams need proof of work, but not at the cost of piping every screenshot to a third-party US SaaS. AuxBOS ships screenshot-based time tracking as a self-hosted install — periodic screenshots, per-task time logs, productivity metrics, all on your own server.
The problem for Screenshot Time Tracking
Fragmented today. Unified tomorrow.
Fragmented workflow
Most screenshot time tracking operate across a stack of disconnected tools:
- Hubstaff and Time Doctor route your team's screenshots to their US servers
- Per-seat pricing punishes you for hiring — $7/user/month = $16,800/year for 200 people
- No way to prove hours to a client without granting them SaaS access
- Employees resent surveillance apps that lack transparency indicators
- GDPR / data-residency reviews stall on where screenshots live
The AuxBOS way
AuxBOS unifies every one of those in one platform, deployed on your own server:
- One place for HR, time tracking, tasks, CRM, invoicing and the client portal
- Single login, unified data, real-time visibility
- One-time license (PKR 500,000 or USD $3,000) — no monthly fees
- White-label rebranding included so it launches as your product
How AuxBOS helps Screenshot Time Tracking
The modules that matter most for your workflow
Periodic screenshots with watermarks
Captured at random 1-3 minute intervals during active work sessions. Each image watermarked with task name, timestamp and employee ID — evidence you can send a client without ambiguity.
Stored on YOUR server
AuxBOS is self-hosted. Screenshots live in your filesystem, served through permission-checked endpoints. Never touch a third-party cloud.
Ethical, transparent capture
Employees see a visual indicator and hear a shutter sound when a screenshot is taken. Transparency builds trust — a covert tracker builds resentment.
Productivity + activity logs
Screenshots pair with active-vs-idle time and per-task logs so you see not just what was on screen but how focused the session was.
Grid view for fast review
QA and team leads scan a shift's worth of screenshots in one grid view — spot issues in minutes, not hours.
Unlimited employees, one price
One-time PKR 500,000 or USD $3,000 license — no per-seat fees. Add 200 remote agents at zero incremental cost.
A typical day on AuxBOS
What a screenshot time tracking team's workflow looks like
-
1
Employee starts a work session against a specific task. The timer + screenshot capture start together.
-
2
Every 1-3 minutes (randomised), a screenshot is captured, watermarked and stored on your server against that session.
-
3
Employee sees the shutter indicator each time — no hidden surveillance, no trust breakdown.
-
4
Session ends when they stop the timer. Hours, screenshots and productivity metrics roll up to the task and the employee's day.
-
5
Admins review sessions in the grid view, share proof-of-work with clients from the same interface.
Common questions from Screenshot Time Tracking
How often are screenshots taken?
Random 1-3 minute intervals during active work sessions. The randomness prevents employees timing "productive" moments; the frequency is high enough for meaningful evidence but low enough not to feel oppressive.
Can employees see when a screenshot is taken?
Yes. A visual indicator flashes and a shutter sound plays. This transparency is deliberate — covert surveillance destroys trust, and in several jurisdictions is unlawful.
Where are the screenshots stored?
On the server where you install AuxBOS. Your infrastructure, your control. Nothing is sent to us or any third party. Simplifies GDPR / SOC 2 / data-residency reviews significantly.
Can clients see their own project's screenshots?
Yes, if you enable it — the client portal can expose screenshots for a client's own projects so billable hours have receipts.
What about employees who work with sensitive personal data?
You control who can view screenshots via roles and permissions. Screenshots can be disabled per employee or per role — a legal team wouldn't be captured while an operations team would.
