CleverControl

CleverControl sells cloud software that lets employers see how staff use their work computers, on both Windows and Mac. The US company presents it as a way to find bottlenecks in workflows and spread workload evenly across a team, rather than a tool for watching individuals closely.

What CleverControl offers

• Live screen view — shows what is on an employee's screen as it happens.
• Screen recording — stores video of screen activity so any moment can be reviewed later.
• App, web and chat tracking — logs which programs, sites and chats are used and gathers them in one report.
• Colour-coded dashboard — summarises activity at a glance.
• Scheduled reports — sends reports to a manager's inbox automatically.
• Quick setup — installs in a few minutes without an in-house IT team.

Who it works with

CleverControl is aimed at teams working remotely and in the office, and says its reports and live views can be opened from a phone or a computer.
