A Hubstaff alternative without the surveillance
Hubstaff is built for employers to monitor a workforce — screenshots, activity percentages, sometimes location. DayReplay is the opposite: a tracker built for you, that reconstructs your own workday privately, with no screenshots, no keylogging, and nothing leaving your machine.
| DayReplay | Hubstaff | |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | You — self-tracking | Employers monitoring staff |
| Screenshots | Never | Yes (a core feature) |
| Keystroke / activity scoring | None | Activity levels tracked |
| Data location | Local on your device | Cloud (employer dashboard) |
| Who can see your data | Only you | Your manager/organization |
| Capture | Automatic app + window + URL | Automatic + monitoring features |
| Pricing | Free tier; Pro $7/mo or $59/yr | Per-seat team subscription |
DayReplay reads the active app, window title, and browser tab to reconstruct your day — and stores it in a local file only you can open. See the full list of what it does and doesn't do on the security page.
Reasons to switch from Hubstaff to DayReplay
- It's yours. No manager dashboard, no proof-of-work screenshots — just your own timeline for your own records and invoices.
- Private by architecture. Local-first, no cloud, no telemetry. Nothing to leak.
- Bill cleanly. Export one row per session for invoicing, without surveilling yourself to do it.
Where Hubstaff is the right tool
If you genuinely need to manage and verify a team — payroll from tracked hours, proof-of-work for clients, GPS/field tracking, or screenshots as part of an agreed arrangement — that is what Hubstaff is built for, and DayReplay intentionally does none of it. DayReplay is for individuals tracking their own time, privately.
