I'm using it both as an employee, and as an employer right now. Depending on the manager (or company / "organization" as it's called in Hubstaff) some of the features can be turned on or off. As an employer, I absolutely love it. I've actually turned off all the intrusive features (screenshots, app tracking) and use it mostly just to get very accurate hours to bill our clients. Since my team works almost all on the computer, they use mostly just the desktop apps and it's pretty simple to use it as just a start / stop timer for when you're working. As a consultant / freelancer / whatever term you want these days, it does force me to focus. Because I know there are screenshots, I do tend to do get heads down on a task. Some of us simply walk away from the computer when we need to take a break and let the timer detect if we were idle long enough that it needs to be removed. I tend to stop the timer manually when I need to get up and walk around. (~25 minutes.) I find it also helps me make sure that I can bill enough hours to meet all of my financial goals, since the information is surfaced in the tool. From the employee end, a lot of how comfortable you feel might end up with the manager as well. If they're lording over the data expecting 90 - 100% typing or will let you go at the first screenshot of a personal email, that would make me uncomfortable enough to walk away.
