#4So is this like a remote administration tool then? Since I'm assuming you'd want to trigger the screenshot remotely from a central server that manages kimai clients.

#5The most interesting part of this tool is that it has enterprise features and it’s still free. I mean why. You’re producing a product to handle large amounts of money and you don’t want a cut?

If you can't tell that your employees are actually doing work without one of these tools then what are you paying them for?
What computer job has no externally visible sign of work being done except "looks busy?"

#8He's not wrong and tracking your employees like that is actually illegal in Switzerland and probably other places as well.
In fact if you install security cameras in your work place they can not be used to track employees.
You are permitted to gather overall metrics over all employees but you can't track individuals. There are exceptions but only for very specific instances.
If you don't trust your employees to do the work then what guarantee do you have that they do their work well? This is how you end up with door hinges meant for the front ending up installed in the rear. Zero trust means their is zero incentive for the employee to give a shit about doing their job right.

They offer a hosted version so they’re making money, even if they could earn more if they wanted.

#10I didn’t quite understand the context so I looked into the Timedoctor software they mention. Timedoctor can be configured to periodically take a screenshot of your user’s (/employee’s) screen, so the boss can look back at what they were doing every e.g. 3 minutes over the course of the time they logged. They also offer continuous screen recording.
