Why timesheets go wrong
Every one of these is a Rymot default, not an add-on.
Inflated timesheets
Time logged while a computer sat untouched still counts as "worked" without idle detection.
Forgotten breaks
A break that's never logged just becomes untracked idle time nobody accounts for.
False productivity metrics
Productivity scores built on inflated hours are wrong from the start.
Manual corrections
Someone has to notice and fix inflated hours by hand, every single pay period.
Unreliable reports
If the underlying hours are wrong, every report built on top of them is wrong too.
How idle detection works
Four steps from raw signal to an accurate, trustworthy report.
Monitor activity signals
Keyboard, mouse, and application activity are monitored continuously in the background.
Detect inactivity
No input for a configurable threshold triggers idle detection automatically.
Mark idle period
The idle period is logged separately — excluded from active and productive time.
Resume active tracking
The moment activity returns, tracking resumes instantly — no manual restart.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about idle detection in Rymot.
Rymot monitors keyboard and mouse activity. When there's no input for a configurable threshold, the period is automatically marked as idle.
Yes. The inactivity threshold that triggers idle detection is configurable per team or role, so it matches how different roles actually work.
Yes. Every employee can see their own idle events and totals — the same data visible to their manager.
Idle time is excluded from active and productive totals by default, so payroll reports reflect time actually worked. This behavior is configurable per policy.
Idle detection runs continuously at minute-level precision and is accurate to roughly 99% under normal usage patterns.
