For Indian companies of 5–200 people at computers: IT services, BPOs, CA firms and agencies. Why teams switch:

- No keylogging and no hidden mode
- Screenshots optional, and they can be blurred
Both track apps, screenshots and shifts from your team’s computers, priced in rupees. Timerfly starts at ₹159 against ₹300 on Workstatus Proof, and keeps your whole history on every plan.

Switching from Workstatus is easy
You can be set up the same day, and run both side by side during the 14-day trial if you like.
Install the desktop app
A small app for Windows and Mac (Apple silicon and Intel). Each person installs it and signs in, and their time is recorded from that day.
Invite your team
Add people by email and set work hours or shifts once (or bring the rota in from Excel). Late, left early and absent are marked from day one.
Keep your payroll tool
Timerfly doesn’t replace Keka, greytHR or Tally. On Pro and up, download the monthly attendance Excel and use it with the payroll software you already have.
