AYYES is the Mac time tracker built for teams. It captures screenshots, app usage, and activity levels in the background – giving your whole team verifiable proof of work. Build trust, spot bottlenecks, and keep projects on track, all from your Mac.
Step by step
Step 1
Create your AYYES workspace in under a minute. The free plan includes unlimited time tracking and project management for 2 team members, ideal for freelancers and small teams getting started.
Step 2
Download the AYYES desktop tracker for Mac. Compatible with macOS 12.0 (Monterey) and later.
Step 3
Select the project and task you’re working on before starting the timer. Every minute gets attributed to the right client or project automatically. Switching between tasks mid-day? No problem, change your selection without interrupting the timer.
Step 4
Click Check In and get to work. The timer runs quietly in your menu bar and can be stopped instantly. Your project and task selections are saved with each time entry.
Step 5
Enable auto time tracking in project settings. AYYES will capture activity without manual start/stop – including periodic screenshots, application usage, website visits, and keyboard/mouse activity levels.
Step 6
AYYES detects inactivity and can auto-check-out after a set idle period. No more inflated timesheets or manual corrections.
Step 7
Working with sensitive client data? Enable screenshot blur to automatically obscure confidential information in captured screenshots. Adjust blur intensity to match your privacy requirements while maintaining proof of work.
Step 8
Open the AYYES web dashboard to review detailed and summarized timesheets. Export reports as PDF or image for payroll, client billing, or internal review.
