When you’re at work or studying for the exams, you can easily get distracted by an email or a Windows notification pushed by messaging app like WhatsApp, Facebook, Hangouts, etc. If the notification is interesting, you can’t prevent yourself from visiting the website or reading the entire message. This wastes your time and affects your work.
To know how much time you waste online on social networking websites, in playing games or to know whether your employee is really putting hard work in the job or not, you should try out the WorkTime Personal Free computer and internet monitoring software.
Getting started with WorkTime Personal
Once you run the program, the WorkTime Personal software will open its main window which flaunts three large buttons to start or stop monitoring the computer and to open the reports window.
Below these buttons, you’ll find 4 widgets that display the time you’ve spent on social sites, in playing games, in browsing websites on the internet and the computer’s uptime.
The program will begin monitoring the computer when you click the start button. If you’ve enabled its startup option, WorkTime Personal will automatically run in the background when the computer begins the monitoring of the system.
Clicking on the stop button will prevent WorkTime from monitoring the user activity.
The Widgets displayed in the main window are customizable. Users are allowed to add new widgets. They can also change the text color, icons and add border color to the icon.
The most interesting feature of this free PC software is its report section.

It contains the activity’s date, begin time, end time, WorkTime, software which was used during the activity, the executable path of the software and the document, URL, domain accessed during the activity.
The WorkTime Personal monitoring software can be configured to monitor specific websites and applications.
