It also offers web filtering, application control and data loss prevention aimed at insider threats. - **Category:** Time Tracking - **Made by:** Awareness Technologies - **Website:** https://www.interguardsoftware.com - **Runs on:** Windows, macOS - **Who should skip it:** Skip it if you want a price before talking to sales, since none is shown. - **Facts last checked:** Nov 13, 2026 ## Pricing InterGuard's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site. ## Key features - **User activity recording:** Logs activity on the endpoint even off the network, with indexed search, alerts, playback and audit trails, plus screenshots and session video. - **Productivity and idle time:** Reports and alerts on how employees use their time, including application and website usage and idle time. - **Web filtering and app control:** Filters web use by URL, category or keyword on or off the network, and restricts which applications can run. - **Data loss prevention:** Blocks or reports sensitive data leaving by email, web forms or removable media, and finds sensitive files saved on local drives. - **Remote response:** Remotely delete or retrieve files, or lock down a device, in a suspected breach or when a laptop is lost. - **Cloud or self-hosted console:** Devices are managed from one web console, offered as cloud-based or self-hosted for stricter security or compliance needs. ## Good for - Companies investigating insider threats and policy violations - Organizations that must show compliance with regulations such as HIPAA or PCI - Managers of remote staff who want screenshots and activity reports ## Worth knowing - No prices, plans or free trial appear on the site pages read, so cost has to be requested from the vendor. - The site footer reads 2022, so some pages may be older than the rest of the directory. - Monitoring includes keystrokes and screenshots, so employee notice and local law need checking. - A separate Chromebook product exists; desktop agents are described for PC and Mac. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 1.6 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026.

The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/time-tracking ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** The plain part of InterGuard you could make: time tracking and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 95 of the 98 other time tracking apps grade higher. - You could make: Time tracking and reports: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Capture tools hooked into the operating system. - You could not: Recording the screen with its sound, and somewhere to keep the video. - You could not: Blocking that reaches every browser and app and is hard to switch off. - You could not: A real app for macOS and Windows. Something home-made would be a web page. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it. **Tags:** Time tracking, Screenshots, Screen recording, Reports, Self-hostable, Site & app blocker ## Alternatives - [Teramind](https://toolgpa.com/tools/teramind): Employee monitoring, insider risk and data loss prevention.
