I built mine with all kinds of privacy features built in: from never storing raw data to always allowing to review before sharing anything to always offering to pause, excluding apps, deleting data, opt-in for social features, …

So spyware in the sense of getting information without the employee knowing would be impossible and not something I’d ever want to do.

It does enable transparency on a very abstracted level: your team could see a six bullet point summary of your day if you opt in. I believe this kind of transparency can actually help more teams go remote, cut down on sync meetings, etc.

I’m currently experimenting with a feature that shows relative time spent only, not absolute - so e.g. 30% on project X, 20% on admin, etc. That could be the sweet spot on visibility vs privacy.
