Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can the desktop application be run alongside the Lite app?
It is recommended to run only one tracking client per machine. If both are installed, duplicate tracking entries may occur on your timeline. Choose the Lite version for silent monitoring, or the Desktop version for manual work-state toggling and messaging.
How do I log in to the desktop app?
Upon launching the application, log in using your tenancy email address and password credentials.
