One of the “features” of DeskTime tracking software is that it runs as soon as you turn on your PC.ĪFK-Assistant does the same, but just to make sure that AFK-Assistant will start BEFORE DeskTime app starts, you can disable DeskTime startup run.
Some of those are randomly switching focused app windows to foreground, and changing browser tabs in Chrome. In addition, AFK-Assistant has few more handy features. So, all activity that is generated by AFK-Assistant will be recognized as “ real, human activity“. We have found a way to generate user input (cursor movements, scrolling and keyboard activity) so that it’s practically indistinguishable from real user input (moving mouse, scrolling or using keyboard). Often, user input that is generated with software gets easily recognized and blocked by any “smart” time tracking app. What makes AFK-Assistant unique is that it’s purposefully designed to trick time tracking software such as DeskTime, for example, into “thinking” that you are actively using your PC while, in fact, you are away from keyboard. In order to successfully trick any time tracking software, you would need a digital assistant of some kind.įor this purpose, we would suggest our own pride and joy: AFK-Assistant.
