Track your team's working hours automatically
Mera Work records the working day on your computers as it happens: when work starts, when it pauses, when the machine is locked and when it goes offline. Nobody fills in a timesheet, and managers see accurate hours by person.

What you get from automatic time tracking
Mera Work shows hours logged in and hours actually worked, by person and by day.
See the hours actually worked
Active, idle, away and offline time are recorded separately, so you can see how much of the logged in time was spent working.
No timesheets to fill in
Timesheets are built from the tracked record. Nobody fills them in from memory and nobody has to remind them.
Tracking continues offline
The agent keeps recording on the device and syncs when the connection returns. Days on site or on a weak home connection are still recorded in full.
Team members can check their own hours
The idle threshold, the stop timer and time claims keep the record accurate, and a team member can see their own record where you allow it.
How it works
The agent records whether a minute was active, idle, away or offline. Reports are built from that record.
Minutes are recorded as active, idle, away or offline
Active time is when the computer is being used. Idle starts after a period without keyboard or mouse activity that you set, anywhere from 2 to 30 minutes. Away is when the machine is locked or asleep. Offline is when there is no connection, and it is recorded on the device until the connection returns.
- Start time and last active time recorded by person and by day
- Keyboard and mouse activity is counted as volume only
- Total hours combine the states so the number reflects the whole day
- Active minutes are also labelled productive, unproductive or neutral from the app in use

Timesheets filled in automatically
Daily time entries are built from the tracked record and land against projects and tasks where they are used. The Time Tracker report shows average, active, productive, unproductive, neutral and idle time per person. The Activity Log lays the day out on a 24 hour timeline.
- Any date range, grouped by manager, location or department
- Time Tracker, Daily Time Entries and Activity Log reports
- Summary reports emailed on working days, or export to Excel
If a project is using hours faster than planned, the Time Tracker shows it the same week.
Breaks, pauses and missed hours
Where your policy allows it, a team member can pause tracking for personal or confidential work with Work Mode. The stop timer lets a person pause monitoring for 5, 15, 30 minutes or 1 hour where the admin enables it. Hours spent in a meeting or away from the machine can be claimed and approved by a manager.
- Work Mode pause, admin controlled
- Stop timer pause of 5, 15, 30 minutes or 1 hour, switched on per user
- Time claims with request, status and approval
- Devices flagged as personal follow your bring your own device rules

Common questions about time tracking
Does Mera Work track time automatically?
Yes. Tracking runs automatically on computers where the agent is installed. Manual controls such as Work Mode and the stop timer are available where an admin enables them.
Can we change what counts as idle?
Yes. Set the idle interval for the organisation in General Settings, anywhere from 2 to 30 minutes, then change it for a team in bulk or for a person where their work needs it.
What happens when someone loses their internet connection?
The agent keeps recording on the device, including screenshots, and syncs when the connection returns. The period is recorded as offline time.
What about hours spent in meetings or away from the computer?
A person picks that stretch from the day's timeline and claims it with a reason. Their manager approves or rejects it, and approved time joins the record.
Does it record what people type?
No. Keyboard and mouse activity is recorded as volume only. Mera Work does not capture keystrokes, text, passwords or the content of messages.
Does it work for remote, hybrid and office teams?
Yes. The agent runs on the computer wherever it is, so people are tracked the same way and appear in the same reports.
How does this compare with manual timesheets?
Manual timesheets are filled in later, from memory. Mera Work records the day as it happens and builds the timesheet from that record, so hours are not missed or estimated.

Install the agent, set the idle interval, and the first timesheets fill themselves by the end of the day.
