How It Works

How gStride Reads Outcome Signals

01

Capture

gStride captures periodic screenshots and activity signals alongside calendar, project, and repository tools your team already uses, giving managers verified, auditable proof of work.

02

Signal

AI reads five outcome signals: ship velocity, deep-focus blocks, collaboration breadth, capacity headroom, and project-mix balance.

03

Recommend

gStride produces ranked recommendations for a human reviewer with meaningful discretion, never autonomous HR decisions. EU AI Act Article 14 compliant by architecture.

04

Action

A manager reviews recommendations, applies them, and the loop closes with measurable outcomes, margin recovery, focus-time recovery, capacity rebalancing.

One platform, everything a distributed team needs

Automated Time Tracking

Background tracker auto-detects work, handles idle time, breaks, and offline sessions. Daily, weekly, and monthly logs build themselves from tracked sessions, zero manual entry.

Project & Task Management

Unlimited projects, subtasks, and workflows. Board & list views, custom statuses, smart task creation from natural language, bulk import/export, client-visible project portals.

Shift, Leave & Attendance

Full HRMS built in: shifts, leave balance tracking (available/used/pending), attendance derived from real work not clock-in surveillance, holidays, and announcements.

Payroll & Payments

Salary structures, PAN/UAN/IFSC capture, statutory tax rules applied automatically per country, printable payslips, and global payouts via PayPal, Stripe, Wise, Deel, and Payoneer.

AI Productivity Scores

Task-level performance scoring from time efficiency, completion rate, git activity, and estimate accuracy, each factor weighted by role. Role-specific dashboards for ICs, managers, and execs.

AI-Powered Assistance

Chat workspace to ask gStride AI direct questions and get quick team-status answers. Burnout risk detection and workload rebalancing recommendations before problems compound.

Screenshot Time Tracking

Automatic screenshot capture ON by default, with blur and frequency controls. App names, URLs, and activity levels captured alongside for verified, auditable proof of work.

Attendance Regularization

Employees request corrections for missed or incorrect logs with reason notes; managers review and approve in one place with a full audit trail.

Client & Team Portals

Client-visible project views, org-wide drill-down for admins, personal productivity view for individuals, defensible hours per project, per client.

Verified activity, plus outcome signals

Most outcome-only tools ask you to take proof of work on faith. gStride captures screenshots for verified time tracking, then layers outcome signals on top.

Screenshot-verified HRMS

Automatic screenshot capture with blur and frequency controls, alongside app, URL, and activity tracking. Every monitoring signal is an independent, configurable toggle.

EU AI Act + DPDP + GDPR ready

Employee notice and consent built into every monitoring toggle, AI framed as recommendation not decision, Article 14 human oversight documented. Consent-first against India's DPDP Act 2023.

Payroll built in, not bolted on

Native India payroll (PF, ESI, PT, TDS) plus global payouts via PayPal, Stripe, Wise, Deel, and Payoneer, timesheets flow straight into payroll.

Built for the whole team

Productivity tools should help ICs as much as managers. We build for both sides of the table.

Privacy is non-negotiable

We monitor work, not people. Every feature respects consent, configurability, and the laws that protect workers.

Ship fast, ship honest

We build what teams actually need. No bloat, no bait-and-switch. Real features, real outcomes.

AI as an ally

Agentic AI reads work data, flags burnout, and drives proactive action, always a recommendation to a human, never an autonomous decision.

Built for the whole team

Personal productivity view for individuals, team view for managers, org-wide analytics for execs, one product, every seat.
