Yes. Clockify's Pro plan ($7.99/seat/month) includes automatic screenshot capture every 5 minutes and GPS tracking. These are marketed as "productivity tools" but fundamentally change the trust dynamic with your team.

We're building CSV import functionality. In the meantime, TimeApp is fast to set up — most teams are tracking time within 2 minutes of signing up.
Clockify has more enterprise features: SSO, scheduling, forecasting, and a kiosk mode. If you need those, Clockify might be better. But if you want simple, honest time tracking without surveillance — TimeApp is it.
Three reasons: (1) No surveillance — your team will trust you more. (2) Free invoicing — save $5.49/seat/month. (3) Cleaner interface — less time learning the tool, more time doing work.
Clockify started simple but chose surveillance. TimeApp stays simple and chooses trust. Track time, bill clients, go home.
