Features

One workspace for hours, activity and people

Twelve modules that share the same data. Turn on what answers your question and leave the rest switched off — Monicrew is designed to be dialled down as easily as it is dialled up.

Automatic time tracking

One click starts the clock. Monicrew records work sessions, breaks and project time without anyone filling in a timesheet.

The desktop agent captures start and stop times, attributes every session to a project or task, and rolls it all into timesheets your finance team can actually invoice from. Offline work is cached locally and synced the moment the connection returns.

  • Project and task level timers
  • Offline capture with automatic sync
  • Editable, approval-ready timesheets

App and URL tracking

See which applications and sites the working day is actually spent in, grouped into productive, neutral and distracting.

Classify any app or domain once and Monicrew applies it across the workspace. Per-role rulesets mean a designer in Figma and a marketer in LinkedIn are both scored fairly, instead of being judged against one blunt company-wide list.

  • Per-role productivity rulesets
  • Category-level trend reporting
  • Private-time toggle for personal browsing

Productivity calculation

A transparent score per person, team and project, calculated from real activity rather than gut feeling.

Monicrew converts keyboard and mouse activity, app categories and idle windows into a single readable score. Every number can be drilled into, so a manager can always answer the question "where did this figure come from?".

  • Explainable scores with full drill-down
  • Team and project benchmarking
  • Weekly digests to inboxes

Idle time detection

Long gaps in activity are flagged automatically so billable hours reflect work that genuinely happened.

Set the idle threshold that suits your team. When it trips, Monicrew asks the employee what happened and lets them tag the block as a meeting, a break or focus work away from the keyboard — accurate data without the accusations.

  • Configurable idle thresholds
  • Employee-tagged idle reasons
  • Meeting-aware, so calls are not penalised

Screenshots on your terms

Optional, interval-based screen captures with blur, frequency controls and a full off switch per team.

Observe the working process remotely without spying. Employees can see exactly what was captured, delete a frame with a note, and the whole module can be disabled per team or per person if it is not right for your culture.

  • Blur and frequency controls
  • Employee-visible capture log
  • Disable per person, team or workspace

Built-in HRMS

Attendance, shifts, leave requests and employee records live beside the productivity data instead of in a separate tool.

Approve leave, publish rosters and keep employee records in the same workspace that already knows who worked when. Payroll exports pull attendance and tracked hours together, so nobody reconciles two systems by hand.

  • Attendance and shift rosters
  • Leave requests and approvals
  • Payroll-ready exports

Real-time dashboard

Who is online, what they are working on and how the week is tracking — refreshed live, on any device.

A single screen for distributed managers: live status, today’s hours, project burn-down and the outliers worth a conversation. Filter by team, client or location and share a read-only view with stakeholders.

  • Live team status board
  • Client and project filters
  • Shareable read-only views

Reports and exports

Scheduled reports covering attendance, utilisation, project cost and productivity — in CSV, XLSX or PDF.

Build a report once, schedule it, and it lands in the right inbox every Monday. Every export carries the same figures the dashboard shows, so there is one version of the truth in a client billing dispute.

  • Scheduled email delivery
  • CSV, XLSX and PDF exports
  • Custom date ranges and filters

Projects, tasks and budgets

Give every hour a home. Projects carry budgets in hours or money, and Monicrew warns you before one runs out.

Break a client engagement into tasks, set a budget, and watch it burn down in real time as tracked hours land against it. Budget alerts fire at the thresholds you choose, so an overrun is a conversation you have in week two rather than a write-off you discover at invoicing.

  • Hour and cost budgets per project
  • Burn-down alerts at 50/80/100%
  • Billable and non-billable task rates

Smart alerts and anomalies

Monicrew tells you when something is off — a missed shift, an unusual idle streak, a project heading past budget.

Rather than asking managers to go hunting through dashboards, alerts come to them. Choose the rules that matter to your operation, pick the channel, and let the quiet weeks stay quiet. Every alert links straight to the data behind it.

  • Missed shift and late start alerts
  • Overtime and burnout warnings
  • Email, in-app and webhook delivery

Payroll and client invoicing

Approved timesheets become pay runs and client invoices without anyone retyping a number into a spreadsheet.

Set pay rates and bill rates per person or per project, approve the period, and export a payroll file or a client-ready invoice from the same approved hours. Multi-currency is handled, and every line traces back to the sessions that produced it.

  • Separate pay and bill rates
  • Multi-currency invoice exports
  • Locked periods after approval

Security and access control

Role-based permissions, tenant isolation, encryption in transit and a complete audit trail of admin actions.

Managers see only their own teams. Admin actions are logged. Data is isolated per workspace and encrypted in transit, and our Data Processing Agreement sets out exactly what we do with it on your behalf.

  • Granular role-based access
  • Audit log of admin activity
  • DPA available for every customer

Adoption

Every module has an off switch

The fastest way to lose a team is to turn everything on at once. Monicrew is built to be dialled down: screenshots, URL capture and productivity scoring are each independent, and each can be disabled for the whole workspace, a single team, or one person.

  • Employees see their own data from day one
  • No keystroke logging, camera or microphone access
  • No hidden mode — the agent is visible on every device
