In short
What is Staffic Cloud Time Tracking?
Staffic Cloud Time Tracking is cloud based time tracking software: members track time in desktop apps for Windows, macOS and Linux, and every session syncs to the web app at app.staffic.io. Admins and members open the same timesheets, reports and screenshots from any browser. If a computer loses its connection, the app keeps tracking and uploads when it reconnects.
How it works
Tracked on the desktop, kept in the cloud
The desktop app records the work, and the web app is where everyone reads it.
- 01Sign up in the browserCreate your organization at app.staffic.io. Admins who only review hours don't need to install anything.
- 02Track on the desktopMembers install the app on Windows, macOS or Linux, pick a project and task, and start the timer.
- 03Sessions syncEach session uploads with its activity, apps and URLs. After a dropout, the app uploads what it saved once it reconnects.
- 04Open it anywhereTimesheets, reports and screenshots are in the web app, in your time zone or the member's.
Cloud based time tracking software
Cloud based time tracking, from the desktop timer to any browser
Your team tracks in the desktop app on Windows, macOS or Linux. Each session uploads to Staffic's cloud, and you open the same timesheets, reports and screenshots in a browser wherever you are.
There's no server for you to run and no file to pass around. A session tracked on a Mac shows on the weekly timesheet in your time zone or the member's, next to sessions from Windows and Linux.
- Desktop apps for Windows, macOS and Linux
- Web app at app.staffic.io
- Offline time uploads on reconnect
Members install Staffic on Windows 10 or later, macOS 12 or later, or Debian-based Linux. Each session uploads with its project, task, activity level, apps and URLs. Without a connection the app keeps tracking and uploads once it's back online.
- Windows, macOS and Linux
- Apps and URLs on every plan
- Saved on the computer while offline
Sign in at app.staffic.io to read daily, weekly and bi-weekly timesheets on every plan, and monthly or custom ranges on Standard and Elite. It's cloud based timesheet software, so people who only review hours install nothing.
- Daily, weekly and bi-weekly on every plan
- Monthly and custom on Standard and Elite
- Organization or member time zone
The Time & Activity report lists each member's time worked, average activity, active time and neutral time for every day in your range. Export it to PDF or Excel from the browser on Standard and Elite.
- Time worked and average activity
- PDF or Excel export
- Up to 366 days per report
On Standard and Elite, screenshots taken during tracked time upload with their session, so you see the same capture at the office or at home. This cloud based employee monitoring keeps each capture for 365 days, then deletes it.
- 2 per 10 minutes by default; 1, 2 or 3 on Elite
- Kept 365 days
- Members see their own
In Access Control you create roles and switch modules on or off for each one, such as Remote Track, Timesheets, Reports, Tasks and Attendance. Each member then opens only the parts of the web app their role allows.
- Roles on every plan
- Module switches per role
- Assigned on each member's details
The MCP server lets Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients read your Staffic data with a key an admin creates, on every plan. On Elite, Staffic AI answers questions such as how many hours you worked today, inside the web app.
- MCP server on every plan
- Read only or read and write keys

Showing One record, wherever you open it.
Control and privacy
Cloud employee monitoring with clear limits
Your data sits in one place, and you decide what is recorded and who can open it.
- The desktop app records only while a member's timer runs
- Admins choose in Settings > Activity whether screenshots, apps, URLs and keyboard and mouse activity are recorded
- Access Control roles decide which parts of the web app each role opens
- Members see their own hours, activity and screenshots in the web app
- Screenshots are deleted after 365 days and screen recordings after 7
- Only admins create MCP keys, and each key works in one organization

What the desktop app and the web app each do?
Staffic splits the work in two: the desktop app records time, and the web app in the cloud is where you read and manage it.

Who it’s for
Cloud time tracking for teams that aren't in one room
When people work from different places and computers, one online record saves the back and forth.
Mixed Windows, Mac and Linux teams
One record from three systems
Sessions from Windows, macOS and Linux arrive in the same form, with apps and URLs on every plan, so reports don't depend on which computer a member uses.

What is time tracking software?
Time tracking software records how long people work and on what, then turns those records into timesheets and reports. Cloud based time tracking software keeps the records online, so hours tracked on one computer show up in a browser anywhere. In Staffic, the desktop apps track the time and the web app at app.staffic.io shows it.
What is a time tracker?
A time tracker is the timer part: the app that records start and stop times while someone works. Staffic's time tracker is the desktop app for Windows, macOS and Linux, which also records activity levels, apps and URLs while it runs. The web app has no timer; it's where you read and manage the time.
What is the best time tracking software?
The best one is the tool your team will run every day that records what you need at a price that fits. Compare where it tracks, whether it keeps working offline, what it records besides time, and which plan includes the reports you'll use. Our Best Time Tracking Software for Teams post compares 9 tools using each vendor's own pricing pages.
Is time tracking worth it?
It's worth it when someone uses the hours: to bill clients, pay people, price projects or spot an overloaded teammate. If nobody reads the timesheets, it's only overhead. Staffic keeps that overhead low by filling timesheets from the desktop timer, so nobody types hours in at the end of the week.
Why is time tracking important?
Because a shared record of hours replaces guesses about what a project cost, what to bill and who has too much on. When the record lives in time tracking software in the cloud, the manager, the member and the person running payroll all read the same numbers. That matters most when they don't sit in the same office.
Is time tracking micromanagement?
It can be, if it's used to watch people instead of understanding where time goes. Staffic records only while a member's timer runs, members see their own hours, activity and screenshots, and admins choose in Settings what is recorded. If you use Staffic as cloud based employee monitoring software, tell your team what you track and why before you start.
Is my time tracking data stored securely in the cloud?
Staffic keeps tracked time in its cloud service at app.staffic.io, which you reach over HTTPS after signing in with email and password, Google or Microsoft. Screenshots and recordings open only for signed-in members of the organization they belong to, and Access Control roles limit who sees what. Screenshots are deleted after 365 days and recordings after 7, and MCP keys are stored only as a hash.
How much does it cost to use Cloud Time Tracking?
Every plan includes Cloud Time Tracking. Free covers up to 3 members. Standard is $5.50 per user per month billed yearly ($1.00 during the current offer, until September 12, 2027) or $7.50 billed monthly, and Elite is $5.80 per user per month billed yearly or $9.80 billed monthly.
