KeepActive (formerly known as Kickidler) is an employee monitoring, time tracking, and data loss prevention (DLP) software platform developed for workforce analytics. The software allows organizations to track employee productivity, monitor computer activity in real-time, and protect corporate data. Used by distributed, remote, and in-office teams globally, KeepActive serves over 5,000 organizations across more than 60 countries and tracks over 1 million employees.

History

The software was originally launched in 2013 under the name Kickidler. It was initially developed by a team of three programmers funded independently without outside investment, aiming to solve the challenge of easily misread or manipulated workforce monitoring statistics.

By 2025, the platform underwent a major rebranding and expansion, officially changing its name to KeepActive. This transition marked its evolution from a visual control tool into a broader workforce analytics and team engagement platform. In 2026, the company rolled out KeepActive 2.0, a major version update that introduced enhanced analytics, improved user interfaces, and deeper insights into workplace behavior patterns designed to help teams identify operational bottlenecks.

Features

KeepActive offers a suite of tools categorized into three primary solutions: Time Tracking, Employee Monitoring, and Data Loss Prevention (DLP).

Time Tracking & Productivity Analysis: The platform automates timesheets, tracks active and idle hours, and categorizes application and website usage as productive, neutral, or unproductive. It includes features like the "Efficiency Report" and "Work Dynamics Report" to evaluate team workload and project intensity.

Visual Employee Monitoring: KeepActive provides live screen monitoring (via a quad-splitter grid interface) and continuous screen video and audio recording. This allows managers to replay historical activity and view exactly what was on screen during specific periods to provide full context to employee actions.

Autokick (Self-Monitoring): A feature that provides remote and office employees with access to their own productivity metrics and automatic alerts, fostering self-accountability and focus.

Data Loss Prevention (DLP): KeepActive's DLP suite helps organizations prevent unauthorized data transfers. It utilizes AI-powered protection against screen photographing, tracks printed documents, and uses Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to monitor sensitive text extraction.

Reception and Awards

KeepActive has received positive reception for its robust feature set, scalability, and transparent monitoring capabilities. In September 2025, Forbes shortlisted the software as one of the "Best Employee Monitoring Software" solutions of the year. The publication specifically named it the "overall best for long-term use," highlighting its comprehensive visualization tools, ease of use, and ability to evolve alongside a growing workforce.

The platform has also been recognized across major software review platforms, earning high ratings on Capterra, SourceForge, and G2 for its reliability and lightweight background deployment.
