Prioritize privacy and trust

All the time tracking benefits without compromising trust

Hubstaff includes intrusive monitoring tools like GPS, screen capture, mouse activity tracking, and more. This may undermine trust within teams and negatively impact the work culture.

Toggl Track takes a no-surveillance approach.

Instead of monitoring everyone's screens and activity, it helps your team track work output, not input — encouraging accountability and self-management.

This approach allows your team to focus on what truly matters: delivering exceptional results without micromanagement or privacy intrusions.
