Documentation
The desktop app on every employee's computer, and the dashboard for the people who run the organisation. Nothing to connect.
https://reattend.comReattend is an organisation's memory. The desktop app captures work on each computer and keeps the raw activity there, in an encrypted store. Only derived knowledge is shared with the organisation. The dashboard is where admins and leaders see what the organisation knows, who holds it, and what happens when people join, move or leave.

Each person gets an email with their licence and download links, installs the desktop app and joins. From then on the app captures work in the background, and the dashboard fills as shared knowledge arrives.
Free for organisations up to 20 employees. See pricing for Business and Government. For yourself only, get the desktop app for individuals.
Desktop app, first launchAn admin adds you on the dashboard and you get an email with your licence and the download links. Install the desktop app, then join with one button from that email, or type your work email in the app and enter the 6-digit code it sends you.
