A task waits in To do.
Wrkbase does the admin. You just say yes.
See the work, not the screen.
Task status tells you what is moving. Nothing in Wrkbase watches a screen, a mouse or a keyboard.
- No screenshots
- No keystroke logs
- No activity scores
Hours track themselves.
A timer starts when a task moves to In progress and stops when it leaves. Nobody fills in a timesheet.
- No start button to forget
- Time lands on the task
- Ready for reports and pay
Catch up in one question.
Sign-ins, breaks and task moves post to a shared feed. Ask the chat search what happened overnight.
- Works across time zones
- No standup needed
- Answers from your own chats

Questions remote team leads ask.
Does "no surveillance" mean no accountability?
No. It's a different mechanism, not a weaker one: task status and a live Activity feed instead of screenshots. Distributed teams don't need less accountability than co-located ones, they need one that doesn't depend on someone being able to walk past a desk.
Does this actually work across many time zones?
Yes, that's the point of it. Visibility is status-driven, not synchronous-check-in-driven, so knowing who's working right now doesn't require everyone to be online at the same time.
Does removing surveillance mean we lose evidence for a real dispute?
No. Every action, on a task, an attendance record, an AI agent step, still writes to a separate, permission-gated audit log. What's gone is screenshots and keystroke logs, not the record of what actually happened.
Can we still see how many hours someone logged, just not watch their screen?
Yes. Time tracking still runs and still produces real hours, it's just a byproduct of a task status change someone was already making, not something derived from monitoring their screen while they work.
