Yes they should be

Thanks! As a German myself I couldn't resist calling it that haha

Thanks! I think part of it is unrealistic expectations for what's normal. When you read everywhere 9/9/6 is the way to go you don't want to face your "low productivity". My brain stops working after 7 hours and I get headaches if I work weekends. I hope that by putting out more data like this we can move the expectations to healthier norms again.

I don't know... I know a few people who inherited enough money to be idle and they don't seem particularly happy with their idleness. Could of course be the social pressure we live in, and that could change if we're all idle.

I built mine with all kinds of privacy features built in: from never storing raw data to always allowing to review before sharing anything to always offering to pause, excluding apps, deleting data, opt-in for social features, …

So spyware in the sense of getting information without the employee knowing would be impossible and not something I’d ever want to do.

It does enable transparency on a very abstracted level: your team could see a six bullet point summary of your day if you opt in. I believe this kind of transparency can actually help more teams go remote, cut down on sync meetings, etc.

I’m currently experimenting with a feature that shows relative time spent only, not absolute - so e.g. 30% on project X, 20% on admin, etc. That could be the sweet spot on visibility vs privacy.
