Guides
How the product records, approves, pays and bills an hour.
Short, specific answers about the desktop tracker, approvals, payroll and invoicing, privacy and plans. Each guide opens with its answer, then explains it.
Plans and limits
Choosing a Ruwad Connect plan: Free, Starter, Professional or Enterprise
What every plan includes, what the limits are (people, projects, screenshot cadence, webcam checks, data retention), how the server enforces them, and how to pick one for a team.
Payroll and invoicing
Exporting tracked time to ClickUp, Zoho Projects and QuickBooks Online
The export formats Ruwad Connect produces (CSV, XLSX, JSON, ClickUp CSV, Zoho Projects time-log CSV), what each contains, and how the QuickBooks Online connection pushes customers and invoices.
The desktop tracker
How screenshot monitoring works in Ruwad Connect, and what it does not record
What the desktop tracker captures, how often, from which monitors, who decides the cadence, how blur works, and what is never captured.
Rolling out
Rolling out a desktop time tracker to a remote team: the first week
A day-by-day plan for introducing Ruwad Connect to a remote or hybrid team, from creating the workspace and inviting people to the first approved timesheet and the first payroll run.
Privacy and consent
Webcam verification: what it does, when it runs, and what to settle before turning it on
How webcam checks work in Ruwad Connect (random checks inside working hours, skipping with a reason, admin review), which plans include them, and the consent and legal questions to answer first.
Approvals and time
Approved hours: why payroll and invoices should read the same record
How a manager's approval in Ruwad Connect updates the task and the project budget, and how the same approved hours become a payroll run, a payslip, an invoice and a receipt.
The desktop tracker
Idle time: how the tracker detects it and why the server, not the app, excludes it
What counts as idle in Ruwad Connect, what the prompt asks, and how excluded time is removed from the entry on the server so payroll and invoices never count it.
