Set a timer, assign it to a project or task, and stop it when you're done. Works the same way whether you're solo on a MacBook or running a team across three operating systems.
Working from a café with bad Wi-Fi, or on a flight? The Mac app keeps tracking offline and syncs everything to your dashboard once you're back online. No lost hours, no manual reconstruction afterwards.
Turn work hours directly into timesheets, payroll runs, and client invoices, without exporting to a separate billing tool. If you're already running payroll or invoicing elsewhere, this replaces it.
A timer left running while you step away shouldn't count as billable. Apploye flags idle stretches so your hours reflect actual work.
Apploye is a time tracker with screenshots. If you want visual context or activity data, it's available. If you don't, leave it off. Nothing here is forced on by default for every plan.
See when employees begin work, how long they work, and whether they meet their expected schedules.
Every tracked hour rolls up into reports you can actually hand to a client or a bookkeeper.

Integrations
Apploye runs as a native Mac app, though a web version is there too if that's what you'd rather use. Either way, it connects with the project tools you're probably already running.
Both. Start with a simple time tracker if that's all you need. Timesheets, payroll, and invoicing are built in whenever you're ready to use them, not a separate purchase.
Yes. Apploye has a native app built for Apple Silicon M1, M2, M3, and M4, and a separate build for Intel Macs. The Apple Silicon version runs natively and doesn't need Rosetta.
Apploye requires macOS 10.15 Catalina or later. Older Macs running earlier versions can use the web app in Safari or Chrome instead.
Yes. Apploye's free plan covers up to 10 users with unlimited time tracking, timesheets, and three projects. No credit card, no trial expiry.
Yes. The macOS app keeps tracking when you lose connection and syncs to your dashboard once you're back online.
Only the ones the features you enable actually require. Basic time tracking needs no special permissions. If you turn on screen monitoring or activity tracking, macOS will prompt you to grant Screen Recording and Accessibility access in System Settings. Leave those features off, and no permissions are requested.
No. Screenshots, activity tracking, and screen recording are all optional. You can leave them off entirely and use Apploye as a straightforward time tracker.
No, and this isn't plan-dependent; it's just not something the product does. Turning on activity tracking measures how much you're typing and clicking, not what you typed.
Yes. Tracked hours turn into invoices without needing a separate billing tool.
Either. It works the same way for a single freelancer on a MacBook as it does for a team of 10.
Yes. Apploye has apps for iOS and iPadOS, available on the App Store, alongside Android. Time tracked on mobile syncs with your Mac and web dashboard.
Yes. One dashboard covers all three, so a mixed-device team isn't a problem.
