The whole floor, live, in one screen

Real-time keyboard, mouse, and app activity for every agent. Know who is heads-down, idle, on break, or missing, without walking the floor or pinging anyone.

WorkPulse live monitoring shows supervisors the real-time status of every agent on the team: active, idle, on break, on shift, or offline. Status is derived from actual keyboard, mouse, and application activity streamed from a lightweight desktop agent, and updates over WebSocket, so the dashboard reflects the floor within seconds, with no manual refresh.

WorkPulse live view showing agents online, idle, on break, and offline in real time

The Live view: every agent's status, current app, and activity level at a glance.

How does WorkPulse handle live monitoring?

1

Agents check in from the tray

Each agent starts their shift from the WorkPulse tray icon. From that moment the agent app measures keyboard and mouse activity, the active application, and idle time.

2

Activity streams to your dashboard

Heartbeats and activity metrics are pushed continuously over an encrypted connection. Status changes (someone going idle, starting a break, closing their session) appear in the Live view in real time.

3

You act on what you see

Sort by status, filter by team, and drill into any agent for their activity timeline, current app, and device health. Anomalies like unusual idle spikes trigger supervisor notifications automatically.

The details that matter

True activity, not just "logged in"

Status comes from real input and app signals, not from whether the machine is on. An agent whose computer is on but untouched shows as idle or on-machine-without-check-in ("pulse"), never as working.

WebSocket push, not polling

The dashboard receives state changes as they happen. There is no refresh interval to configure and no lag between the floor and your screen.

Device health included

Each agent row includes live device gauges (CPU, memory, connectivity) so you can tell a slow agent from a slow machine.

Works offline

If an agent loses connectivity, tracking continues locally in an encrypted queue and syncs on reconnect. No data loss during outages.

FAQ

Live monitoring: common questions

How fast does the live view update?
Within seconds. The agent streams heartbeats continuously and the dashboard receives status changes over a WebSocket push. There is no polling interval or manual refresh.
What counts as "idle"?
No keyboard or mouse input for the idle threshold you configure. When an agent goes idle mid-shift, WorkPulse can automatically switch them to break status so shift totals stay accurate.
Can I see activity history, not just live status?
Yes. Every agent has a per-day activity heatmap, session timeline, and top-apps breakdown, and the reports section aggregates trends by team, day, week, or shift.
Does live monitoring work for hybrid or office teams?
Yes. The agent tracks the same way on any macOS machine (Windows coming soon) regardless of where it sits: home, office, or a mixed floor.
