A powerful Clockify alternative

Both Tivazo and Clockify have time tracking functionalities. Each of the two time-tracking software 
accounts for different user pain points.

Tivazo is available in Windows, Linux, and macOS. 
While Clockify is available on desktop for Mac, Windows, and Linux. It’s available on mobile for both 
Android and iOS. Plus, it has browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge.

• You can start your tracking timer from the software. You just have to open the software and 
click the “Start Tracking” button, and then, your work time will be tracked in the background.
• You don’t have to worry about tracking time for each project or task as Tivazo tracks time for 
your whole day.
• You are automatically clocked-in for the day when you Start Tracking your work hours. Then, 
you will be clocked out at the end of the day, when you click on the “Stop Tracking” button.
• Sometimes you might forget to stop tracking your time. We have all been there. Don’t worry, 
Tivazo automatically stops tracking your time when you shut down your device. Or, if you keep 
your device on even after work hours, Tivazo can automatically stop tracking time after a while 
of inactivity in your device.
• Plus, you can manually enter your Start and End times if you were not able to do it before or 
forgot it. But, remember that you need the approval of your team leader/ manager, who in this 
case could be your employer.
• If you are a freelancer, you don’t have to worry about getting approval for manual time entry. 
You can just enter the time you worked on yourself.

The clock-in and out function in Clockify is quite different from that of Tivazo.

• Users can clock-in/ out from Kiosk App of Clockify. The Kiosk App of Clockify allows people to 
manually find their names in the Kiosk App and Clock-in from there, same with the Clock-out

Note: A Kiosk Device is a device configured to run only specified applications, for public/ shared use. In 
this case, the device is used to run the clock-in and clock-out feature of Clockify.

• If you forgot to Clock-in or were not able to, Clockify allows you to manually enter the clock-in 
and out times later.

• Tivazo automatically tracks and keeps records of users’ daily attendance.
• Any day the user tracks their time for their work is considered a work day, and attendance for that day is recorded.
• Employees can go back and view their attendance records and so can their employers.

• Clockify does not have a dedicated attendance tracker.
• You can either use the clock in/ out data as the attendance tracker or you can use the time tracker for projects as the attendance tracker.

Tivazo automatically pauses time-tracking when you have been idle for some time. It gives an alert mentioning you have been idle for a while, and if you have been working, you can immediately resume your time tracker.

If you are an independent worker, you can decide how long you can be idle, until Tivazo pauses the time tracking. The default timing for this is 5 minutes.

However, if you are an employer, you have the option to set maximum idle time for your employees before the system automatically stops tracking. You’ll also be notified if your team has been idle for a specified duration as well, you can also decide this duration according to your preferences.

You can generate productivity, project progress, and timesheet reports of different dates and time periods. The reports in Tivazo are customizable by the time frame selected and the people of the reports generated. You can either get the report on the whole team or any individual member. The reports provide an in-depth analysis of time spent on work.

Tivazo is available to use on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
The offline features and sync are available no matter which operating system you are using in your computer. It is easy to set up the employee monitoring software on Mac and Windows, but if you find any complications setting it up on your Linux, you can visit the FAQ section of Tivazo’s website, where there is detailed instructions on how to use it on Linux.

Tivazo is used by anyone no matter the profession. The time tracking software is for Lawyers, Engineers, Virtual Assistants, and other professionals. It is scalable based on business size as well. It can be used for time tracking and productivity monitoring by Freelancers, Small Businesses, Agencies, and Enterprises.

Toggl is available for Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android. It also has a browser extension. Regardless of which device you are on, it’s easy to track time with Toggl. Because it is supported on many devices, you have to sign in on each device. Only then, does it allow for synchronization.

While Toggl Track is mostly a project-based tracking system, it also allows users to track time, based on clients, projects, and tasks. Toggle Track has integrations for Google Calendar allowing you to keep records of projects based on date and time.

Toggl can track multiple projects at the same time as well, since, there can be many people working on many projects simultaneously. This can be a bit overwhelming as the users have to remember to manually start and stop time-tracking for each project they are working on, as Toggl does not have automatic tracking.

Toggl Track is a project management and time-tracking system at its core. It does not provide typical features for Employee Monitoring like screen recording.
So, it is suitable if you are looking for project management rather than a workforce supervision system.

You can get alerts for your project, and task progress, project time estimate, if you haven’t tracked time for the day, and more. And, the alerts can be sent to Admins, Project Managers, Team Members, or Groups.

Basically, there are various notifications for different topics for Toggl sent to different users. However, it can be distracting and a little overwhelming when there are so many notifications while you are working.

Fear not, you can tweak the settings of Toggl Track to turn off certain notifications if you don’t want them.

Both Tivazo and Toggl have manual time-tracking features. Users can manually start tracking time and manually stop it as well.

In Tivazo, if the user is out on fieldwork or can’t track their time on their devices, the system allows them to input their work time manually. Or, their employers or team leaders can add the time for them as well.

In Toggl Track, users can automate time-tracking based on their use of certain apps. If they open these apps, the time-tracking will start automatically and stop automatically, once the users close the apps.

Similarly, both systems have idle detection and handling features, though their approaches are slightly different. For users of Tivazo, the admins or employers define the idle time threshold for their employees. If an employee’s device is idle for that amount of time, the time-tracking will automatically stop. When it stops, a notification is shown so that active users can resume tracking immediately.

Moreover, admins will be notified of their employees being idle, again, by the user-defined amount of time. The idle detection for Toggl is not admin-defined per se. Each user can configure their own idle detection settings that fit their personal workflow and preferences. In other words, Toggl allows them to customize how many minutes of inactivity will trigger the idle detection.

And, users will receive reminders if they have been inactive for a while.
