Solutions Employee monitoring
Employee monitoring that shows how work time is spent, with rules you set
Mera Work records time, activity, apps and websites on work computers, with screenshots and live screen for the people you choose. You decide who is monitored and how, managers see only their own teams, and views of a screen are logged.
What employee monitoring gives you
A clear record of the working day for your teams, wherever people work.
Recorded
Time and activity
Active, idle, away and offline time, with keyboard and mouse counted as volume only.
Apps and websites
Applications and websites in use, by name.
Screenshots and live screen
For the people and teams you choose, at your interval.
What you get
See who is working right now
The dashboard shows which devices are reporting and people's active, idle, away and offline time. You know who is available without sending a message.
Spot problems while there is time to act
Long idle stretches, rising unproductive time and late starts show in the reports the same week. Email alerts flag the ones you choose.
Follow up with facts
The timeline, the apps in use and the screenshots from that period are together. A conversation with a team member starts from the record.
See how apps and websites are used
Search any application or website by name to see who used it and for how long over the dates you pick. It shows which paid tools are used daily and which are rarely opened.

Clear limits on what is seen and who sees it
Monitoring works when the team knows what is recorded and managers see only what they need.
The team can see the agent and their own record
In interactive mode the agent is visible on the computer, so people know when they are being recorded. Where you allow it, team members see their own record, and Work Mode lets them pause tracking for personal tasks. A computer flagged as a personal system follows your bring your own device rules.
- Interactive mode on Windows, macOS and Linux
- Their own record visible where you allow it
- Work Mode to pause for personal tasks
- Typing counted as volume only, never the words
Managers see their own teams, and nothing more
Managers see the teams that report to them. Custom roles set the report scope to the organisation, a team or a person, and decide who can view screenshots and live screens. Report Access narrows which reports a role opens, and screenshot downloads go through Download Requests for approval.
- Custom roles with organisation, team or individual scope
- Screenshot and live screen viewing by role
- Report Access per role
- Screenshot downloads approved first

Common questions about employee monitoring
What is employee monitoring software?
It records how work time is spent on company computers: hours, activity, the apps and websites in use and, where you enable them, screenshots and live screen. Mera Work turns that record into a dashboard and reports for managers.
Is employee monitoring legal in India?
Monitoring work devices is common practice, and lawful use depends on notice, consent, proportionality and your own policy. Mera Work records consent dates and views of a screen, and the compliance page explains the controls. Take legal advice for your own situation.
Will team members know they are being monitored?
In interactive mode the agent is visible on the person's computer. Stealth mode runs silently in the background and should be used only where your legal position allows it. On macOS the person grants system permissions in both modes.
Does Mera Work record keystrokes, messages or passwords?
No. Keyboard and mouse activity is counted as volume only. What people type, their messages and their passwords stay private.
Can team members see their own data?
Yes, where you allow it. Access follows roles, so a team member sees their own record and a manager sees the teams that report to them.
Can monitoring be different for different teams?
Yes. Screenshots, live screen, activity monitoring and Work Mode are switches per person, and can be set in bulk for a team or department.
Does it monitor personal laptops or phones?
A device flagged as personal follows your bring your own device rules, and Work Mode lets a person pause tracking. Phones and tablets are not monitored; the mobile app is for reviewing productivity reports.
See how your team's work time is spent
Install the agent on two computers, choose your settings, and the dashboard fills the same day.
