What it is
A time-tracking app for remote teams is a web tool where distributed employees log the hours they work across time zones and projects so managers can understand workload without desktop surveillance. On Kleap it's a website on your own database, with per-user logins and roles, where each team member records their own hours and managers see the roll-up.
What your remote teams time tracking tracks
Every field below is one you can add, rename, or remove by chatting with Kleap — a starting point tuned for remote teams.
Team member
Remote work is asynchronous, so attributing every entry to a person is how a manager reconstructs who did what across the week.
Time zone
A distributed team spans zones, so capturing the local zone stops a 9am entry in one country looking like overnight work in another.
Project
Without a shared office, project tagging is the main way managers understand where distributed effort is actually going.
Task
A short task label gives context to hours that a manager never physically saw being worked.
Date
Weekly timesheets and payroll periods depend on accurate dates, especially when a workday crosses midnight in someone's zone.
Hours or start/end
The recorded work quantity, entered as a total or a start/stop, so managers gauge load without monitoring anyone's screen.
Work type
Splitting focus work from meetings surfaces whether a remote team is being drained by calls versus doing deep work.
Billable flag
Teams that do client work still need to separate billable delivery from internal time even when everyone is remote.
Notes
In an async team a brief note replaces the hallway update, giving managers context without a status meeting.
What good looks like for remote teams

Frequently asked questions
Does it monitor employees with screenshots or track keyboard and mouse activity?+
No, and that's deliberate. Kleap builds a web app where each person logs their own hours on a form or with a simple start/stop timer. There is no screenshot capture, no keystroke or activity monitoring and no background agent, so it measures work by trust rather than surveillance.
How does it handle team members in different time zones?+
Each entry carries a date and a time-zone field, so a shift worked late in one country reads correctly against a manager's own zone. The roll-up shows hours per person and project regardless of where in the world they were logged.
Does it push hours into payroll automatically?+
No. Kleap keeps hours on its own database and does not integrate with payroll providers or send data to them automatically. Managers approve the weekly totals in the app and export them to run payroll in whatever system the company already uses.
Can employees log time from their phones while traveling?+
Yes, through the browser. Kleap doesn't publish a native app to the App Store or Google Play, but the site is responsive, so a remote worker can open it on a phone and enter hours from anywhere and they'll appear in the same shared database.
