Question 1

What is AI time tracking?

Accepted Answer

AI time tracking uses artificial intelligence to automatically capture and categorize your work activity. Instead of manually starting and stopping timers, the software passively monitors signals like git commits, file changes, AI conversation logs, and live coding sessions to build an accurate picture of how you spend your time.

Question 2

How does passive time tracking work?

Accepted Answer

Passive time tracking records your work activity automatically without requiring you to start or stop timers. Scribe runs in the background and captures work signals like code commits, file modifications, AI tool usage, and live session activity to build a timeline of your day.

Question 3

Does Scribe track my screen or keystrokes?

Accepted Answer

No. Scribe never records your screen, and it never logs keystrokes or takes screenshots. It reads your git commit history and file modification timestamps, plus the conversation logs that AI coding tools like Claude Code and Cursor already keep on your machine. All processing happens locally.
