Chrome Extension

This page covers the Chrome Extension for the we360 app

The We360.ai Chrome Extension is a lightweight, browser-based tracking client. It is ideal for employees who work primarily inside the browser — or on devices where installing the full desktop agent isn't practical — and can be used on its own, without the desktop app.

The extension shares the same tracking policies as the desktop agent, so what it captures (screenshots, screen recording, idle detection, domain blocking) is governed by the same organization settings you configure in the portal.

The extension and the desktop app are governed by one shared tracking policy. Anything you enable or disable in Settings → Compliance & Security and Settings → Productivity applies to both.

Signing In

The extension signs in against your organization's workspace, just like the portal and desktop app.

1

Install the extension

Add the We360.ai extension from the Chrome Web Store (or your organization's managed-extension rollout) and pin it to the toolbar.

2

Enter your workspace

Click the extension icon and enter your Workspace name. This routes you to your organization's sign-in page.

3

Log in

Enter your Email and Password (or continue with your organization's single sign-on). Once authenticated, the extension is ready to track.

Key Features

1. Attendance from the browser: Punch in, punch out, and manage breaks directly from the extension popup — no separate app required.
2. Activity tracking: Records the active tab's website and page title, along with keyboard and mouse activity, to measure active versus idle time. Individual keystrokes are never recorded (no keylogging).
3. Screen capture: Periodically captures screenshots of the visible tab when screenshots are enabled in your organization's policy.
4. Screen recording: Captures screen recordings when recording is enabled in your organization's policy.
5. Live view: Supports on-demand live streaming of the employee's screen to authorized managers in the portal.
6. Idle detection: Detects inactivity and can automatically punch the employee out after a configured idle period.
7. Website blocking: Enforces your organization's blocked-domain list — a restricted site is closed or replaced with a policy notice.
8. Projects & tasks: Lets employees select the project or task they are working on so time is attributed correctly.

When to Use the Extension vs. the Desktop App

Chrome Extension

• Best for browser-first roles and quick rollouts.
• No installation of a desktop application required.
• Captures browser activity, attendance, and screen data for the browser.

Desktop App

• Best for full-device visibility across all applications.
• Tracks every desktop application, not just the browser.
• Adds USB monitoring, device/location tracking, and virtual-desktop (Citrix/RDP/VDI) support.

For deep, system-wide monitoring, deploy the Desktop App. Many organizations use the extension for browser-heavy teams and the desktop agent everywhere else.

This extension is an alternative for users to access features without downloading the application onto their computers.

Initializing and configuration must be done via web portal for assigning Admin role, allotting teams, etc.

Punch In/Out

Once logged in, the extension will be available to use to punch in, take a break, and punch out.

The Take Break option is visible in grey above the Punch Out button.

If user is already punched in via another instance of the app (Mobile App or Computer Application), then the following prompt will appear:

Tasks/Project

The extension also allows the user to track their tasks with a timer.

In the extension, switch from Attendance to My Task:

Then, select the project you're working on, and the task within that project. Users can search for an existing task by name, or also create a New Task on selected project.

Projects and Tasks must be defined previously via the web portal.

Once selected, you can start the in-built timer and get started on your work.

When changing tasks, you can stop the time tracker.

Clicking on More Detail >> will redirect to the task selected, otherwise it opens the Projects tab in the portal.

Other Features

Pressing the button button allows the options of toggling Auto Punch-In ON/OFF, as well as checking date & time of last sync, and an option to manually sync to current time. The prompt also displays version of extension being used. Make sure to use the latest version for the most updated features & support.
