Download & Install
Step 01
Download the AYYES time tracker for Windows, then open the file from your Downloads folder to launch the app.
Step 02
Run the installer and follow the on-screen steps to complete the AYYES installation.
Step by step
Step 1
Sign up for a free AYYES account in minutes. No credit card required. Your free plan includes unlimited time tracking and project management for up to 12 team members.
Step 2
Download and install the AYYES desktop tracker for Windows. The lightweight app runs quietly in the background and is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux.
Step 3
Before you start the timer, choose the project and task you’re working on. This ensures every minute is attributed to the right client, project, or task group.
Step 4
Click the Check In button to start the timer. The timer runs in the background and can be paused or stopped at any time. Your selected project and task are automatically attached to the time entry.
Step 5
Enable auto time tracking in your project settings to capture work activity without manual start/stop – including automatic screenshots at configurable intervals, app and website tracking, and activity level monitoring based on keyboard and mouse input.
Step 6
AYYES Windows app automatically detects inactivity and can auto-check-out after a configurable idle period. This prevents inflated work hours and ensures accurate timesheets without manual intervention.
Step 7
For projects with sensitive information, enable screenshot blur. When enabled, the AYYES Windows app applies a blur filter to all captured screenshots before they are uploaded. This protects personal messages, financial data, or confidential client documents while still confirming that active work is happening. You can adjust blur intensity levels to balance transparency with privacy.
Step 8
Switch to the web version to review detailed and summarized timesheets, manage projects, invite team members, and export reports for payroll or client billing.
