Time Tracking+Productivity Tools: Are they worth it?

Hi. I am looking to get some info on time tracking and productivity tools, like Desktime, Timegram, Hubstaff, Timely, etc.

Are they worth it using for your remote/hybrid team? Please share how are you guys using them and what benefits have you seen so far. Are they good for a team of size 10-20 people?

    I don't use any productivity tools, I just use calendar. I once made my own time tracking app but soon noticed it is more tidous to track than to just do it

      Ah I see. Yeah, that can happen for sure.

      Was it for you or your team? And if it was for your team, then did you have to chase after them to do the tracking for you to see their work?

        It was for myself, in teams I learned something really important, accountability and trust makes people do the work

          Okay. Trust is really important but some people misuse it and start taking things for granted. Then the accountability element starts dwindling. That's what I have seen so far.
