Remote employee monitoring software
for

distributed teams

Remote employee monitoring software records how people on a distributed team spend work time on their computers: which applications and websites are active, for how long, and whether the person was active or idle. Intelogos collects this through an agent on each work computer and turns it into Availability, Activity, Engagement and Productivity KPIs, team and daily views and AI reports, so managers can see workload and coverage without status meetings. If you are working out how to monitor remote employees, start with expected hours per team and a written notice.

Measure time and tool use instead of watching screens. The Intelogos agent records the apps and websites in use, window titles, active and idle periods and whether keyboard or mouse input happened; Intelogos doesn't take screenshots, and it doesn't record what people type. From that data you get Availability against expected hours, Activity (the share of tracked time with input), Engagement (time in Primary and Secondary tools) and Productivity, plus the Daily page that shows each person's day in 10-minute blocks.

Yes. Every KPI is calculated in each person's local time zone, so a full day in Lisbon and a full day in Manila both count as full Availability. Work hours policies are set for the company or per team, and the Daily page shows everyone's day in the time zone set in your own settings, which makes coverage gaps and overlap visible at a glance.

Contractors aren't a separate user type in Intelogos. People who work on personal computers, such as contractors, install the visible desktop agent from an invitation email on Windows, macOS or Linux; they can start, stop or quit it, so only agreed work time is captured. Background agents are for company-owned Windows and Mac computers. Both agent types can run in one organization, each monitored person uses one license, and plans are priced per license per month.

No. Intelogos doesn't take screenshots. It never captures screen recordings, keystroke content, mouse click content, cursor positions or movements, webcam images or audio. It records application names and usage time, website URLs and page titles, window titles, active and idle periods and whether keyboard or mouse input happened. Window titles and URLs can include document names or email subject lines, so say so in your notice.

Give written notice before tracking starts, wherever each person works, and collect an acknowledgement. The desktop agent is visible on the person's computer and they control it; a background agent has no visible interface, and the help center says it is the company's responsibility to inform employees when background tracking is in place. Some US states require notice before electronic monitoring, and a remote team can span several states or countries. The employee monitoring policy template and consent form on this site, linked in the rollout section above, gives you the notice and the policy to adapt.

Managers see only the people, departments or projects assigned to them: each person's Profile with KPIs and tool usage, the Team and Daily views, time reports against expected hours, and AI reports. Chronicle, the minute-by-minute activity record, is an optional permission for Managers and Admins, and regular users never see it, even for themselves. Nobody sees screenshots or typed text, because Intelogos never collects them.

In many places employers can monitor company computers and work accounts, but the rules depend on where each employee works, and a remote team can span several states or countries. Some laws require employers to notify employees of electronic monitoring or to limit what is collected, and data protection laws such as the GDPR add their own requirements. Tell employees what is monitored and why before you start, and keep the data to what you need. This is general information, not legal advice.
