What Handdy is

Handdy provides employee time and attendance tracking, employee monitoring, and productivity analytics. Its desktop timer records tasks and time, websites visited, applications used, and screenshots. The timer works online and offline and periodically syncs with the database. Attendance records include employee login and logout times, breaks, shifts, and time spent on clients, projects, and tasks.

The mobile app tracks employee locations and routes with GPS, saving location every minute and retaining location history in the app. Administrators can define circular or building geofences that start an employee timer on entry and log the employee out on exit. The mobile app has downloads through the Apple App Store and Google Play; the desktop timer works with Windows, Mac, and Linux. Listed platforms are Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows. Handdy says the product is intended for monitoring productivity across in-house, remote, work-from-home, part-time, and freelance employees. Paid plans start at $2.24/user/mo billed annually, and a 30-day trial is available; there is no free plan. The company says Handdy is a division of Integra Global Solutions Corp, headquartered in Pittsburgh, USA, and lists its own headquarters in Wexford, Pennsylvania.
