The privacy ramifications are intense. As the youth is apt to say, "like woah".
That said, I would love to see a tool that gives work-day insight where the user entirely owns and controls the data.
I've found it helpful to have a summarized report on how much of my work day is spent in meetings and emails verses writing code. It helps me to have data, rather than a vague feeling as to how much time I'm spending on things and how I could optimize my time.
I have no desire for HR or my management to see that information and I fully see where others having that data is ripe for abuse, but for my own sake if I totally control the data, it's useful.
