Notification when tracking starts

When enabled a notification message will appear every time the tracking is started. Either by you or on application restart. This helps remind you that your time tracking has started.

Notify if I’m being tracked (every hour)

To keep you reminded that your time is being tracked by TraqNext, we will remind you after every hour.

Hourly tracking notification

Notify when the screen is captured

TraqNext also captures your screen as proof of your work, this can be disabled by your organization owner/admin. Whenever the screen is captured, TraqNext will inform you via a notification.

Work-Life balance

It is always recommended to take small breaks between the work. This not only good for your health but also improves your productivity. Often, we miss this important aspect during our work routine. TraqNext helps you by reminding you that you might need a break, based on your defined settings.
