Time tracker
Tockly vs Toggl Track
Toggl Track is the anti-surveillance time tracker: a fast manual timer with a private autotracker, an explicit pledge never to build screenshots or monitoring, and reporting aimed at billable hours.
Tockly is work tracking that reads AI activity: every minute scored as hands-on, agent running, steering, or idle. Here is how the two compare, line by line.

The minute Toggl Track can't see
Toggl measures what people say they did: a timer they start and stop, backed by a private timeline only the individual can see. Nothing is verified, and nothing knows about agents. An hour logged to a client is one undifferentiated block whether you typed every character or steered a coding agent through it. Toggl's own AI summarizes time you already tracked; it does not measure AI work.

Which should you pick?
Pick Toggl Track if your team runs on trust-based self-reporting and you want the smoothest manual timer in the category. Its refusal to monitor is a feature for teams that would reject any capture.
Pick Tockly if you need the hours to be verifiable, or if AI does part of the work. Toggl shows the time entries people choose to submit. Tockly produces a per-minute record with screenshots behind it, and it is the only one of the two that can say which minutes were agent work.
Frequently asked
How is Tockly different from Toggl Track?
They sit at opposite ends of the visibility spectrum. Toggl is trust-based: managers see the entries people submit, and Toggl pledges never to build screenshots or monitoring. Tockly is a verifiable record: per-minute classification with periodic screenshots, built for contractors who need to prove hours and teams that want real utilization numbers. Toggl also has no concept of AI-agent work; Tockly classifies it every minute.
Does Toggl Track take screenshots?
No, and it never will by its own anti-surveillance pledge. Its autotracker timeline is private to each user and invisible to managers. If your client or employer requires proof of work, Toggl cannot produce it. Tockly captures a screenshot every 10 minutes tied to the classified timeline, so every billed hour has receipts.
Can Toggl Track measure AI-assisted work?
No. Toggl's own AI is a Slack bot that summarizes time you already tracked, so you can ask it what you did last week. The product has no signal for whether an AI agent was doing the work during a tracked hour. Tockly reads agent activity directly, so agent-running and steering minutes are labeled in the record.
