Visible desktop companion
Tray or menu-bar controls show state and pause. OS/version, hostname, app version and a cryptographic installation identity are detected without manual inventory fields.

PulseHireX Work
A desktop companion pilot for managed Windows and macOS laptops: active and idle time, app and site-duration summaries, session events and optional policy-controlled screenshots—with visible status, pause controls and employee self-visibility.
Visible work insights. Never invisible monitoring.
Pilot availability
Release-gated, not live monitoring.
Windows and macOS companions require verified employee identity, informed acknowledgement, independent policy approval and device acceptance. No live collection is enabled by this page.
How it works
Three steps, with the person informed.
Step 1
Enrol
Register the work device against the employee, with employee-authenticated acknowledgement, verified employment and independent policy approval; installation never authorizes collection.
Step 2
Observe
See device status and daily activity summaries — enough to answer 'is this device in use', not what is on the screen.
Step 3
Explain
Each employee can open their own record, so nothing about them is collected behind their back.
Inside Work
What it does, plainly.
Device register
Company devices linked to the person who uses them, with enrolment state and status.
Daily activity summary
Per-day activity signals for enrolled devices, kept separate from official attendance.
Consent record
Consent is captured per device and shown to the employee, not buried in a policy.
Self view
Employees see their own device and activity record in their workspace.
Separate from attendance
Activity never silently becomes attendance or timesheet data — those stay their own approved records.
Audited access
Administrative views of someone's activity are recorded like any other privileged action.
Honest position
What Work will never do.
Policy-gated screenshots
Optional screenshots remain disabled unless employee notice, policy approvals, exclusions and device validation are complete. No continuous screen recording.
No keystroke logging
Keystrokes are never recorded or transmitted.
No content monitoring
Messages, documents and browsing content are not read or stored.
Questions
Common questions about Work.
Does this replace attendance?
No. Attendance and timesheets remain separate, approved records in PulseHireX People.
Can employees see their own data?
Yes. Self-visibility is built in rather than optional.
Is it available everywhere?
Work is enabled per workspace, and agent coverage depends on the device platforms you run. We will confirm the fit before you commit.
Tell us what you actually need to know.
Most teams need far less data than monitoring tools collect. We will show what Work records and what it refuses to.
The workflow
Clear handoffs. Deliberate decisions.
- 01
Inform
Agree a lawful company policy and readable employee notice.
- 02
Verify & pair
Authenticate the employee and verify current employment and company scope.
- 03
Authorize
Obtain independent policy approvals before any collection.
- 04
Validate visibly
Check pause, sensitive exclusions, retention and actual device behavior before an approved pilot.
Inside the product
Visible work insights. Never invisible monitoring.
Pilot · not generally available
Employee-authenticated enrollment
The intended one-time signed pairing binds only a verified current employee to their company. Administrators cannot tick consent on an employee’s behalf; hosted enrollment remains blocked pending release.

Activity, idle & session context
Native adapters support lock/unlock, active/idle and application-duration signals. Browser-domain duration requires explicit extension setup and pairing; it is not page-content collection.
Pilot · not generally available
Optional screenshots
Policy-gated capture excludes sensitive apps/windows and requires retention rules and restricted audited viewing. macOS requires screen-recording permission and a foreground-app allowlist. Capture safety still needs device acceptance.
Pilot · not generally available
Protected offline sync
Windows source uses CurrentUser DPAPI; macOS source uses Keychain. Offline queues use random protected keys. Legacy plaintext credentials are blocked, not automatically migrated.
Pilot · not generally available
Notice & independent authorization
An informed employee acknowledgement and two-person company policy approval precede authorized collection. No keystroke content, passwords, webcam or microphone capture; no covert tracking.
Pilot · not generally available
Employee & manager views
Scoped activity summaries and pilot diagnostics distinguish source/receipt timestamps and unavailable telemetry. The pilot has not established a verified real-device event flow.
Pilot · not generally available
No automatic pay or discipline
Activity remains separate from attendance, staffing timesheets and payroll. Work does not automatically deduct salary or make disciplinary decisions.
Availability & boundaries
What to know before you commit.
Not generally available. A Windows v1.0.3 unsigned test installer was built; Windows 10 acceptance is incomplete. macOS adapter and packaging source exist, but installer/device validation is unverified. Secure hosted enrollment remains release-blocked. Installing the app never starts monitoring.
One platform, separate responsibilities
Connected context. Not unrestricted access.
Client systems
Secure Access
Assigned destinations and credential-controlled launches.

Candidate pipelines, placement readiness and approved economics.
Internal employees

Employment records, controlled payroll pilot and visible activity pilot.

A shared platform does not merge records or authority. Staffing placements never automatically become employees; Work activity never automatically becomes attendance or pay.
