Trackly
Consented time tracking for remote staff, with screenshots people can see themselves.
Trackly is our own tool for remote teams, such as staff in the Philippines. A small agent on the employee's laptop sends a screenshot and an optional webcam still every few minutes. Managers see each person's working day in a dashboard, and the employee can see and pause their own tracking at any time.

The problem
- Paying remote staff by the hour without seeing the work builds distrust.
- Big monitoring tools are expensive and often feel like spyware.
- Managers need proof of work for clients without watching people live.
The product
Only people who have given consent and enrolled their own device are tracked. The agent shows a clear recording banner, and the employee controls pause. The manager gets a timeline of screenshots and the active app for each day.
- The admin adds a person, who accepts the consent text.
- The person installs the agent and enrolls with a one-time code.
- Every 3, 6 or 15 minutes it sends a screenshot and optionally a webcam still.
- The manager opens the device page and scrolls through the day.
- Old captures are deleted automatically.
Who pays and why
Business model
| Revenue line | Price | Notes |

Market and targets
Outsourcing to the Philippines and other countries keeps growing, and most clients want some proof of the hours they pay for. Trackly fits the gap between no tracking and expensive enterprise monitoring.
Targets and prices are planning assumptions.
