What Apploye Tracks for Social Media

See Where Employee Time Went

If someone spent 28 minutes on Instagram between 10 and 11 am, you'll see the platform, the time block, and the day. Not a vague sense that someone seemed distracted.

Get Visual Context Without Reading a Single Post

A screenshot shows you a platform was open during a tracked hour. It doesn't show you what someone typed, posted, or replied to.

Tell a Quick Check Apart From a Long Scroll

Five minutes on LinkedIn during a break looks different from 40 minutes of continuous scrolling at 2 pm. Activity levels show you which one actually happened, not just that a platform was open.

Add Continuous Context When Screenshots Aren't Enough

For teams that need more than periodic snapshots, screen recording captures full sessions. Available as an add-on on top of base plans.

If automatic background tracking feels like more than you need, employees can run Apploye's Interactive Desktop App instead. They choose a project and starting or stopping the timer themselves. Social media activity still gets logged the same way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Apploye read what my employees post on social media?

No. Apploye tracks how much time is spent on social platforms and captures periodic screenshots if enabled. It doesn't read post content, comments, or private messages.

Which social media platforms does Apploye track?

Any of them. Apploye's tracking works off general app and website usage, not a list of specific integrations, so it covers whatever platform your team actually visits.

Is it legal to monitor employee social media use at work?

Generally yes, on company devices during work hours, but with real limits. U.S. labor law protects employees' right to discuss wages and working conditions online, even on a work computer.

Does Apploye log into employee social media accounts?

No. Apploye never accesses or logs into any personal account. It tracks time and activity at the device level, not account-level content.

Can employees see that their social media use is being tracked?

Yes, by default. Apploye's interactive app lets employees review their own time and activity. A silent mode is available for company-owned devices where that's not the right fit.

Does Apploye log keystrokes?

No. Apploye measures keyboard and mouse activity to calculate an activity score. It doesn't record what someone typed.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. Apploye is free for up to 10 users, with no credit card and no trial countdown.
