Your First Day on ThirdEyee

Twelve steps, start to finish — from creating your workspace to knowing your way around every part of the dashboard.

Create Your Company Workspace

Sign up with a work email, a password, and your company name. That first account automatically becomes your workspace's Admin, and a 14-day free trial starts once your workspace is approved — no card required.

Log Into Your Web Dashboard

Head to api.thirdeyee.com and sign in with the email and password you just created — or with Google or Microsoft, if you'd rather. This is the same login screen every teammate uses later.

The Main Dashboard, Explained

This is what greets you right after logging in. Four things matter most here — walk through each one below.

Getting Around the Sidebar

Every other part of ThirdEyee is one click away from the sidebar on the left. Here's what each section actually does.

The overview screen you land on after logging in.

Your team roster, invites, and pending sign-up approvals.

An opt-in, real-time look-in on any employee's screen.

Daily total and active time, built automatically from tracking data.

Pay calculated straight from verified active hours.

Task boards, deadlines, and per-project productivity.

Leave requests, approvals, and history in one queue.

Tracking policy, roles, API keys, and your subscription.

Invite Your Team

From Employees → Invite, send invites by email. Each one carries a secure, single-use setup link — send them one at a time or several in a row.

Approve Sign-Ups & Assign Roles

When someone accepts an invite, their account waits in Employees → Approvals. Approve it and set their role — Employee, Manager, or HR — and they're in.

Configure Your Tracking Policy

In Settings, set your screenshot interval, idle timeout, and office IP once — it applies company-wide. Remote-only team? Skip the office IP field entirely.

Download & Install the Desktop Agent

Every approved employee downloads the lightweight Windows agent from their dashboard. It doesn't need elevated admin rights — most people can install it themselves in under a minute.

Employee Sign-In on the Agent

Employees sign into the agent with their company name and their own credentials — or with Google or Microsoft SSO, if your company has that turned on.

Watch Your First Live Data Arrive

The moment the agent signs in, it checks in every 10 seconds. Head back to the dashboard and watch status, activity, and app usage start showing up — nothing left to configure.

Explore the Core Features

Everything below runs on that same live data — no separate setup for any of it.

Opt-in look-ins for real-time coaching

Efficiency scores & burnout alerts

Auto-calculated from active hours

Apply, approve, and track in one place

Tasks, deadlines & productivity split

Your own SOPs, searchable company-wide
