Getting started

  1. Your administrator invites you to a Happy Tracker workspace and gives you a login.
  2. Open the Happy Tracker desktop app and sign in with your work email.
  3. Choose a project (and task, if shown), then press Start tracking.
  4. Use Break to pause and Stop to clock out.

Screen Recording permission

If your Company has screenshots enabled, macOS will ask for Screen Recording permission the first time a capture is attempted — this is required by macOS to take screenshots. Grant it in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Screen Recording, then relaunch the app. Screenshots are taken only while you are clocked in.

Frequently asked questions

When does Happy Tracker track me?

Only while you are clocked in on work. Nothing is captured when you're clocked out or on a break. Clock out at any time to stop.

Can I see what's captured about me?

Yes. Everything is visible in your own account under Timesheets → My Screenshots and My Activity. You can also request deletion of your own screenshots.

Does Activity Mode record my keystrokes?

No. Activity Mode records only counts of mouse/keyboard activity and the app you're using — never the content of what you type.

Who configures screenshots and activity?

Your Company's administrator, from the Happy Tracker admin panel — including the interval, image quality, blur, and whether Activity Mode is on.

I forgot my password.

Use "Forgot password" on the web sign‑in page, or ask your administrator to resend your invite.

How do I uninstall?

Quit Happy Tracker from the menu‑bar icon, then drag the app from your Applications folder to the Trash. You can revoke Screen Recording permission in System Settings.
