What is ScreenJournal?
ScreenJournal is a workforce-visibility platform built around a lightweight desktop tracker and an AI-powered web dashboard. It is designed for managers who need a faithful picture of how their team actually spends the workday — without forcing employees to fill in timesheets, status updates, or activity forms.
The two halves of the product
Desktop tracker. A small app that runs on each employee's computer. While the employee has it on, it captures screen activity, application focus, keyboard and mouse activity, and (for configured meeting apps) microphone audio. The employee starts it with a single Play button and stops it when they're done.
Web dashboard. A browser-based control centre for organisation owners and managers. The dashboard turns the raw activity coming from the trackers into a timeline, productivity rankings, AI-generated timesheets, weekly reports, and alerts. It is also where the org owner configures the desktop policy — the settings that decide what every tracker in the organisation is allowed to do.
Who uses ScreenJournal?
- Organisation owner / manager. Registers the org, invites people, reviews dashboards, configures policy. We refer to this role as "manager" or "owner" throughout the docs.
- Tracked employee. Accepts an invitation, installs the tracker on their own computer, signs in, and uses it while they work. We refer to this role as "employee" or "team member".
