From install to insight

From install to monitoring in under 5 minutes.

A lightweight desktop agent, a browser dashboard, and nothing to host. Here is exactly what happens in between.

In one paragraph

The whole system, in one quotable answer.

WorkPulse has two parts: a lightweight desktop agent that runs in the system tray of each monitored computer, and a cloud-hosted supervisor dashboard that works in any modern browser. The agent tracks activity only during checked-in shifts, and the dashboard shows the floor live.

Setup

Five steps, start to finish.

  1. Create your organization

    Sign up free, no credit card. Invite supervisors, create teams, and set your monitoring policy for the organization.

  2. Install the agent

    Download the installer for macOS or Windows from your dashboard. Fleets deploy silently via MDM.

  3. Agents check in

    One click on the tray icon starts the shift. Outside a shift, nothing is tracked.

  4. Activity reaches your dashboard

    Sensitive apps are blurred on the device before upload. If the network drops, an encrypted local queue syncs on reconnect.

  5. Watch the floor live

    Real-time status for every agent, plus reports, replays, alerts and scheduled email summaries.

Architecture

What runs where.

Three pieces. You install one of them and host none.

On each computer

Desktop agent

  • Lives in the system tray, small footprint
  • Measures input activity, apps and URLs
  • Screenshots and optional recording
  • Tracks only during checked-in shifts
  • Quit-PIN protection
Managed by us

WorkPulse cloud

  • You host nothing
  • AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.2+ in transit
  • Private storage, never public
  • Role-based access on every read
  • Audit log on every access
Any modern browser

Supervisor dashboard

  • Live floor view
  • Per-agent deep dives
  • Session replay and reports
  • Capture policy and break limits
  • Billing and seats

Permissions

What the agent needs on macOS.

Two system permissions and an HTTPS connection. Input is counted, never logged as keystrokes.

FAQ

Setup & agent questions.

Talk to the founder
Do I need to host or maintain any servers?

No. WorkPulse is fully cloud-hosted. You install the desktop agent on monitored computers and open the dashboard in a browser. That is the whole deployment.

Can we mass-deploy the agent?

Yes. The agent supports MDM deployment with enrollment tokens, including Intune and Jamf templates, plus native handling of corporate proxies and TLS-inspecting middleboxes.

Does it work behind a corporate proxy?

Yes. The agent picks up proxy settings from the operating system or from environment variables, and IT can set a proxy explicitly through the same MDM channel as the enrollment token. Basic and Digest proxy authentication are supported, and a custom CA bundle covers TLS inspection.

What happens if the network drops?

Tracking continues. Activity is kept in an encrypted local queue on the computer and syncs to the dashboard when the connection returns, so an outage does not leave a gap in the shift.

Does the agent slow computers down?

The agent is a native Rust application designed to idle in the tray. Activity measurement is event-driven, and screenshots are captured and compressed efficiently. Agents typically don't notice it.

Is the agent a keylogger?

No. WorkPulse measures activity levels (how much typing and mouse movement is happening), not what is typed. Keystroke content is never captured or transmitted.

What happens outside a shift?

Nothing is tracked. Monitoring is gated to checked-in shifts; before check-in and after check-out the agent sits idle in the tray.

Run a tighter floor, remote or not.

Set up in under 5 minutes. Pay only for the seats that actually work.
