Turn on what you need. Add the rest whenever you want.

Recording, Calls, Screenshots, time tracking, Workdays, Activity Report, Alarms, and hardware inventory each solve a different problem. Start with the one you need today — every module reports into the same dashboard, so adding another later takes minutes, not a migration.

Not a bloated surveillance suite. A focused platform that does more.

Most employee monitoring platforms — Teramind, Hubstaff, ActivTrak, and others — spread thin across security, time tracking, or productivity analytics. CYF stays focused on a handful of things worth doing well, deployed together or one at a time, without forcing you into a bundle you don't need.

Built with depth, not clutter

Recording, Calls, Screenshots, time tracking, Workdays, Activity Report, Alarms, and hardware inventory each go deep on one job instead of spreading thin across a platform built for something else.

You own the footage

Choose where recordings are stored and how long they're kept — from 7 days to 5 years, on CYF Storage or your own infrastructure.

Screen + audio. Automatically recorded.

Capture exactly what happened on the computer — the screen, plus whatever audio was involved, all on the same timeline. No separate tools, no manually starting a recording, and the evidence you need for audits, complaints, and internal reviews.

Standalone module

The screen

Everything visible on the monitor during a work session — apps, browser tabs, documents, chat windows — captured continuously in the background.

Microphone & headset

Whatever the employee says into their mic or headset is captured alongside the screen — no separate call-recording tool required.

System audio

Audio playing inside the machine itself — a call, a meeting, a customer on the line — is captured too. If it happens on the computer, it's on the recording.

Every call, detected and logged on its own.

Calls automatically identifies when a call or meeting started and ended, straight from the audio already captured — no need to integrate a softphone or a separate conferencing tool. Every call shows up with duration, device, user, and a player that starts right from the beginning of the call.

Standalone module
  • Automatic voice detection — the start and end of every call are identified from captured voice activity, with zero manual setup.
  • A confidence score per call — every detected call shows a confidence percentage, so you can prioritize what to review first.
  • A player right in the dashboard — play the call from the start with one click, without opening or downloading the entire recording file.
  • Filter by device or time period — quickly find the calls for one agent, one machine, or a specific window of time.

Screen captures, all day, organized by check-in.

Screenshots takes screen captures at regular intervals throughout the day and organizes everything by check-in session — much lighter than continuous recording, but enough for a quick look at what was on screen at any moment.

Standalone module

Organized by check-in

Captures from each work session are grouped by check-in, with quick navigation to the previous or next check-in.

Full-screen viewer

Click any thumbnail to open it at full size, with arrows to navigate between the day's captures without going back to the grid.

Copy or download on the spot

Copy the image straight to the clipboard or download the original file, without leaving the dashboard.

Working hours, without anyone logging them.

Start and finish times come straight from the machine, so there's nothing for anyone to punch, remember, or reconstruct at the end of the month. Runs on its own, with or without recording turned on.

Standalone module

No clock-in, no timesheet

Know exactly when each person started and finished working, automatically — nobody has to punch in or maintain a spreadsheet for it.

Active or idle, right now

See which devices are working and which are sitting idle, across one location or many, from a single dashboard.

Office or home, same data

Hours are captured the same way whether the computer sits in your office or in someone's living room. No VPN, no special network.

Every shift, laid out on a single timeline.

Workdays turns raw check-ins and check-outs into a visual day-by-day timeline for every agent — presence, screen locks, logouts, and net worked time, side by side with what was expected. Works whether or not the Recording module is on.

  • Presence, locks, logouts, and net time — every shift shown as a bar you can scan in seconds, not a spreadsheet you have to build.
  • Compare against what was expected — see the gap versus a scheduled shift in minutes or in percent, whichever your team reads faster.
  • See the whole team or just one person — a monthly overview for every agent, or a day-by-day breakdown for just one.
  • Hover any bar for the exact detail — the precise start and end time behind every lock, logout, or worked block.

Which apps and sites actually take up the team's day.

Activity Report adds up the time spent in every app and the visits to every site, and shows the overall ranking for the company or for a single employee — with a day-by-day breakdown of total time, apps used, and that day's top app.

Standalone module

Ranking of apps and sites

Apps ranked by time used and sites ranked by number of visits, side by side, for the whole company.

From the whole company to a single agent

Filter the same ranking by any employee to see exactly where their time went, without waiting on a manual report.

Get alerted the moment it happens.

Alarms lets you define which sites and apps aren't allowed and fires an alert the moment an employee accesses one of them — no need to review logs or wait for the next day's report to find out.

Standalone module
  • Rules by site or app — choose exactly which pages and programs should trigger an alarm when accessed.
  • An alert the moment it happens — the alarm fires at the moment of access, not in the next day's report.
  • Centralized rules — set up and adjust alarm rules for the whole company in one place.

Know what's actually running on every computer.

Every device reports its own hardware automatically — no spreadsheet to keep by hand, no visit or audit required to find out what's installed where. Works on its own, without recording or time tracking turned on.

Standalone module
Hardware removal alert — we notify you if we detect that a key part was removed from the machine (like a disk), helping prevent asset theft.
  • Manufacturer, model, serial, CPU, memory, and OS build, reported straight from the machine.
  • Disks and free space, monitors and resolutions, network adapters and IPs — all in one place per device.
  • Audio inputs and outputs listed too, so you know exactly what a device can record before something goes wrong.
  • Refreshed automatically on every check-in, so the inventory never goes stale like a manual asset list does.

Download. Run. That's it.

Zero setup, zero configuration. No IT project, no per-user training. Download the installer, run it on the computer, and the modules you've enabled start on their own from that moment forward.

01

Download and run

One small installer. No setup screens, no configuration to fill in. Run it once and the device is ready.

02

Your modules start themselves

The moment Windows starts up, whichever modules you've activated begin running automatically in the background.

03

Synced automatically

Finished recordings and logs are sent to storage and cleared from the device on their own — no manual export, ever.

04

Review anywhere

Search by device, user, or date. Play any recording or pull up any module's data straight from the dashboard.

What changes on day one.

No new process to learn — just less guessing about what actually happened on a work computer.

Without CYF

  • Ask employees what happened and hope they remember correctly
  • Dig through screenshots or scattered files after the fact
  • Track working hours manually, or trust self-reported time
  • Keep an asset list by hand, and hope it still matches reality
  • Guess what happened during a complaint or dispute

With CYF

  • Screen and audio recorded automatically, from the moment the computer starts
  • Every recording synced and searchable by user, device, or date
  • Working hours calculated automatically, no clock-in required
  • Every machine reports its own hardware, refreshed on every check-in
  • Review exactly what happened, in minutes, straight from the dashboard

Start free. No card, no rush to decide.

Monitoring that your team can stand behind.

The most effective monitoring isn't secret — it's clear. CYF is designed to be deployed openly, so every module protects your people as much as your business.

A clear record, both ways

The same footage that documents an incident also clears your people when they did everything right. Evidence cuts both ways, and that protects everyone.

Deploy it in the open

No technical knowledge is needed to install it — and it can also be installed on computers shared by multiple users, as long as each one has their own Windows account. Built to be rolled out with your team's knowledge, on company-owned or dedicated work machines. Honest monitoring earns trust; hidden monitoring erodes it.

You stay in control of the data

Set your own retention, choose where recordings live, and decide who can review them. The footage is yours to govern, start to finish.

Monitoring rules vary by country and region. CYF gives you the controls to deploy responsibly; how you apply them is up to you and your local requirements.

Questions, answered directly.

How does the Free Plan work, exactly?+
The Free Plan stays available for as long as you want, with no end date and no credit card required, on up to 2 computers. It doesn't include every feature of this version. Talk to sales to see exactly what's included, or to move to the full plan when you need more computers or features.
Can I buy Recording, Calls, Screenshots, Time Tracking, Workdays, Activity Report, Alarms, or Hardware Inventory separately?+
Yes. Each of the eight modules can be activated on its own — you don't need Recording turned on to use Workdays, Activity Report, or Hardware Inventory, for example. Start with whichever one solves your immediate problem, and add the others from your dashboard whenever you're ready; nothing to reinstall or reconfigure. Talk to sales for module-by-module pricing.
Is CYF an employee monitoring software?+
Yes. CYF provides employee monitoring capabilities across recording, Calls, Screenshots, time tracking, Workdays, Activity Report, Alarms, and hardware inventory: it captures screen and audio, detects calls, takes periodic screen captures, tracks working time, shows what's used the most, and alerts on improper access. It's designed for transparent deployment on company-owned or dedicated work computers.
Why use CYF instead of a larger employee monitoring suite?+
If your main need is knowing what happened on a work computer, CYF focuses specifically on a handful of modules — screen and audio recording, call detection, screen captures, working-time evidence, shift timelines, activity reporting, alarms, and hardware visibility — rather than requiring you to adopt a full security or workforce-analytics platform to get there.
Does this slow down employee computers?+
No. Each module runs as a lightweight background process. Recording happens in short blocks and uploads asynchronously, so it doesn't compete with the user's active work.
Does it record sound too, or just the screen?+
Both, when the Recording module is on. It captures screen and audio together, regardless of where the sound comes from — microphone, headset, or audio playing inside the machine itself, like a call or a meeting. It works with any setup.
Where does the footage actually live?+
By default, on CYF Storage. If you'd rather keep it in-house, you can point it to your own FTP, SFTP, or network storage instead — your choice.
What happens to local files after they sync?+
Once a recording is confirmed delivered to storage, the local copy is deleted automatically. Devices never accumulate footage.
Is this only for call centers, or big companies?+
No, but it's built for teams covering more than one computer — contact centers, remote teams, back-office operations, BPOs, and customer support, from a handful of machines to thousands. It also works well for third-party or freelance staff working from a dedicated Windows account.
Does it work for remote or work-from-home employees?+
Yes. Recording, syncing, and time tracking all work the same way whether the device is in your office or in someone's home — no VPN or special network required.
What exactly does Workdays show me?+
A visual timeline for every agent, day by day: when they logged in and out, how much of that time was actual presence versus screen lock or being logged off, and the net worked time — plus a monthly overview across your whole team. Works on its own, without the Recording module.
How does Calls know when a call happened?+
Calls analyzes the audio already captured by the Recording module and automatically identifies the start and end of every call from voice activity, with no softphone integration needed. Every detected call shows duration, device, user, and a confidence score, with a player that starts right from the beginning.
Does Screenshots record video, or just take pictures of the screen?+
Just pictures. Screenshots takes screen captures at regular intervals throughout the day, much lighter than continuous recording, and organizes everything by check-in session, with a full-screen viewer and the option to copy or download each image.
What does Activity Report show?+
A ranking of the most-used apps by time and the most-visited sites by number of visits, for the whole company or filtered to a single employee, with a day-by-day breakdown of total time, apps used, and that day's top app.
How does Alarms work?+
You define which sites and apps aren't allowed, and Alarms fires an alert the moment an employee accesses one of them — no need to review logs or wait for the next day's report. Rules are centralized and apply company-wide.
Can I see what hardware is on each computer?+
Yes. Every device reports its own manufacturer, model, CPU, memory, disks and free space, monitors, network adapters, and audio devices automatically — useful for IT planning without a manual asset audit, and it doesn't require any other module.
What if my users grow past what my plan allows?+
Each plan includes a set number of computers, shown right in your dashboard along with how many you've used. When you need more, you can upgrade to a bigger plan at any time to add seats.
How long does setup actually take?+
Minutes, not days. Download the installer, run it on the computer, and your enabled modules start automatically — most people see it working on their own machine within about 15 minutes.
What operating systems does it run on?+
CYF runs on Windows computers. If you need to confirm compatibility for a specific OS version across your fleet, talk to sales before you get started.
Can employees tell they're being recorded?+
CYF is built to be deployed openly, with your team's knowledge — not hidden. How visible the recording indicator is on the device depends on your rollout; we recommend telling employees it's installed, since transparent monitoring builds more trust than hidden monitoring.

2 free computers, forever.
