Idle Exclusion List For Accurate Workforce Analytics
Ensure accurate productivity analytics by excluding approved communication and upskilling apps and websites (e.g., Teams, Zoom, Meet, Coursera for training) from idle detection.
This way, active participation in meetings, calls, and training is never mislabeled as “idle.”

Track What Matters
Most monitoring systems rely only on keyboard and mouse activity. During meetings or trainings, participants may be engaged without interacting with their devices, creating false idle data.
Eliminate false idle alerts
save time and prevent confusion
Transparent & compliant
with privacy-first design
The Challenge Today
Remote and hybrid teams often appear “idle” during calls because they aren’t typing or clicking, even while listening, presenting, or screen sharing.
This leads to:
False idle status during meetings and calls
Skewed productivity reporting & misleading trends
Time wasted on unnecessary investigations
Lower trust in monitoring accuracy
