Introduction

ActivTrak is a tool that allows managers to monitor computer use within their companies or departments.

What makes ActivTrak unique is its strategy of building statistics based on the caption of the active window, i.e. the title bar.  Depending on the application, the caption will contain the name of the document, the website, the subject of the email or other detailed information on the actual work being done.  Thus, tracking the caption provides a highly representative picture of user activity, in terms of both topic and time.

In addition to compiling a rich history of application use, ActivTrak provides powerful tools for monitoring user sessions in realtime.  The current activity of many or all of your users can be displayed on one screen at one time. 

ActivTrak is short for Caption Tracker, and after just a few minutes of evaluation you will see why ActivTrak is the best way to keep track of how your companies computer are being used and why ActivTrak is called the "friendly user monitoring program".
