Frequently asked questions about Clockk
Can I track my phone calls with Clockk?
Short answer: No, at least not yet. For iPhone: No, and probably never because Apple doesn't allow third parties to access iPhone call history. For Android: Not yet, but eventually when the mobile app is developed. For VOIP: Not yet, but theoretically yes depending on the VOIP vendor and their software API. If you need this, contact Clockk.
Can I track time for each ticket/task in my project tool?
No, Clockk does not attach time directly to tickets. The team believes this makes time tracking worse rather than better. They focus on making time tracking better by tracking work at the project level rather than per-ticket. Read their time tracking manifesto for more detail on this approach.
Can I track what my employees are doing with Clockk?
No, Clockk is not employee monitoring software. You cannot see any data that Clockk has tracked, even if you own the computer employees use. Employees must opt in to Clockk and can turn off tracking at any point. You can see their submitted timesheets like any other time tracking software. This respects employee autonomy and privacy.
What does the Clockk browser extension track?
The browser extension (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge) sends Clockk: URL, page title, date and time you accessed the page. In certain web apps from their supported list, Clockk uses page content like your logged-in Twitter user to disambiguate which project you're working on. For Chrome users, it also submits an identifier distinguishing which Chrome profile you use. All processing happens in your browser – no page contents beyond project-disambiguating portions are sent to Clockk.
Can I track my calendars with Clockk?
Yes! Clockk's Desktop app has native support for Google and Outlook (Office 365) calendars. It also supports any calendar with a public .ics feed. When imported, Clockk shows your events for each day so you can assign them to the right project. A neat side effect is that the Activity view can show if a meeting started late, ended early, or ran over-time, helping you capture more billable hours.
Can Clockk track Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, or WebEx calls?
Yes, but with caveats. If you installed the Clockk Desktop app, it can tell when you're on a call. However, if you do other work during the call or share your screen, Clockk tracks the other apps instead because the call window is not the active window. Unfortunately, Zoom, Teams, and WebEx only show generic titles like 'Zoom Meeting' so Clockk cannot distinguish one call from another. Use the Desktop app to add your calendar to see scheduled meetings during video calls.
How do I track my emails with Clockk?
The Clockk Desktop app connects to your mail server (Gmail, Microsoft Outlook/Exchange, or IMAP) on your behalf and notifies the Clockk server whenever a draft email is updated. From a security perspective, the Desktop app runs on your computer, so administrators never have access to your email account. The app reads your email and sends date/time, to, from, cc, and subject lines to Clockk. The message body and attachments are completely unknown to Clockk.
What does the Clockk desktop app track?
The desktop app (macOS or Windows) tracks: active window (e.g., Adobe Photoshop document – stores app, document name, date/time, no screenshots), to/from/cc/subject/date/time of draft emails (never looks at email body or attachments), and your calendar entries for the day. Each is completely configurable – if you don't want email tracking, just don't set it up. Clockk never takes screenshots or shares tracked data with anyone else.
How does Clockk work technically?
Clockk watches your active window and websites you visit. Along with clever machine learning and pattern matching, it accurately tracks your work even as you jump between projects. It uses automatic AI tagging that learns from your input to assign tasks to projects. The system stacks time rather than using timers, and handles multi-attribution for overlapping projects. You can read their deep dive on how tracking works for more technical detail.
Is Clockk only for professional services companies?
Clockk is for anyone working in professional services where time is billed to clients. This includes all kinds of agencies, architects, engineers, bookkeepers, accountants, lawyers, freelancers, and consultancies alike. So long as you do the majority of your productive work on your computer, you can benefit from Clockk's automated time tracking.
