In short

What is Staffic Linux?

Staffic for Linux is the desktop time tracker for Debian-based Linux: one .deb for x64 and one for ARM64, installed with apt or your software center. While the timer runs, it records time on the chosen project and task, an activity level, apps and websites, and syncs them to the same timesheets and reports as Windows and Mac.

Linux time tracker

Linux time tracking software that matches Windows and Mac

The Linux app records the same things as the Windows and Mac apps, and the web app shows them in the same places.

A session tracked on a Linux machine sits next to sessions from Windows and Mac in every timesheet, report and dashboard card. Nothing is recorded while the timer is off.

Ubuntu, Debian and other Debian-based systems
x64 and ARM64 packages
Same settings as Windows and Mac

Linux users track on the same projects and tasks as everyone else. A session tracked on Ubuntu lands on the same Daily Timesheet as one tracked on Windows or a Mac, and weekly and bi-weekly timesheets add them up on every plan.

Linux sessions get the same breakdown as any other: the applications that ran and the websites visited, filed under the session's project and task. On Standard and Elite, the Apps & URLs usage report adds them up across members.

On Standard and Elite, the app adds screenshots at random minutes, 2 per 10 minutes or 1, 2 or 3 on Elite. The Screenshots page also totals each member's hours, activity, active time and neutral time for the day.

Answers about Staffic on Linux.

Read the docs

Does Staffic have a Linux time tracker?

Which Linux distributions does Staffic support?

Debian-based systems: Ubuntu, Debian and others built on Debian, because the app ships as a .deb package. There's no package for systems outside the Debian family, such as Fedora or Arch.

How do I install Staffic on Ubuntu?

Download the .deb for your processor from staffic.io/download, then run sudo apt install with the path to the file, or open it in your software center. Open Staffic from your applications and sign in.

Yes. Linux has two packages: x64, shown as AMD in the web app, and ARM64, shown as ARM. Install the one that matches the machine's processor.

Can Staffic be used as employee monitoring software for Linux?

Yes, within tracked time. A Linux member's activity level, apps and websites appear on the same Remote Track pages as everyone else's, with screenshots on Standard and Elite, and Settings, Access Control decides which roles can see them. With the timer off, the app records nothing.
