Thanks for the reply - I feel the same way. I'd go as far as to say that if someone forced it on you we'd want to know so we could disable the account. That's not something we want to support at all. This is designed to help individuals set boundaries for their work, especially in a work from home scenario where it would be too easy to work well past the end of an optimal work day.

This is what I did a couple of jobs ago. I was a technology leader in a startup, and installed in myself to track Where TH did my time go. After some months I got some nice charts and interesting insights. I showed those to the people in my team and told them that if anyone wanted a license I would pay for it, but it would be for their own personal use (nobody would have access to their data). A couple of people approached me to get licenses.

This is kind of similar to the GitPrime/WayDev and similar software: The insight is actually quite good, but the moment "The Boss" uses it, it becomes a control mechanism. The best way to take advantage of it is if it is provided as something completely personal.

I agree. I decided my chrome extension (Productivity Owl) should only store data locally because I didn't like the idea of managers abusing it. The owl is enough of an asshole to simulate a real boss for me.
