A note from Christoph
I wish we lived in a world where everybody could work remotely with the best practices we know: async updates, managing on outcomes, regular team retreats. All the good stuff.
Unfortunately we don't live in that world: async is hard to keep up with, managing on outcomes is even harder, and the retreats take lots of time to organise.
The usual answer to this is: "Just hire the right people." Or: "Just apply to remote-first companies." The problem is: there aren't enough of either. And the trend is a return to the office.
What I hope to add with DoneThat is to make remote easier for the 90% of people and companies that find it hard, and to create an RTO alternative.
I can't fix the team retreats (happy to connect you to somebody) but what I can do is make it really easy to get visibility and trust, with minimal trade-offs.
Would love to hear your thoughts on this!

This is what it looks like
Your manager will only see high-level summaries of your day, nothing more. Enough to build trust, not enough to spy.
How to start
Trust takes months to build and seconds to break. This only works if you are ready to work from home, not chill from home.
Start using DoneThat in the office
Pitch it as a fun idea to try. Use email or Slack integration to share your summaries.
Propose to do an experiment
Could you be even more productive at home? Without distractions and commute.
Let the facts speak for themselves
The data will show that you are just as productive from home, so why not stay with that.

ExploreFrequently Asked Questions
- DoneThat is an automated work tracker and coaching product. It reconstructs your work from activity on your device, turns that into summaries and structured history, and uses that history for review, reporting, and coaching.
- You can use DoneThat free for 30 days without a credit card. The trial includes the full product, and we send a reminder before it ends.
- DoneThat is designed to minimize sensitive data exposure. Raw screenshots and activity inputs are processed in real time instead of being stored, and you control capture windows, exclusions, redactions, and who can see finalized summaries.
- You can connect DoneThat to Slack from your workspace settings. DoneThat then posts finalized summaries to the Slack channels you choose, so updates happen asynchronously without sharing raw screen data.
- DoneThat stores structured activity data, not raw screenshots, and encrypts data in transit and at rest. Sharing is permission-based, and the AI providers in the default pipeline are selected for no-retention processing.
- DoneThat gives coworkers something concrete to react to: finalized summaries, comments, follows, and optional Slack or email sharing. That makes it easier to stay in the loop without adding more meetings.
- DoneThat helps remote teams build trust through curated summaries rather than surveillance. Managers and teammates get proof of progress at summary level, while individuals keep control over visibility and what stays private.
- DoneThat can help you spot overload earlier by showing work patterns over time, including focus distribution and optional mood tracking. That gives you something concrete to review before overwork turns into a norm.
- DoneThat makes team accountability easier by turning work into regular written summaries your team can see. The point is to replace memory-based status updates with lightweight proof of work, not to monitor people live.
- DoneThat does not make remote work succeed on its own. What it does is make remote progress easier to demonstrate through async summaries, clearer visibility, and privacy-respecting proof of work.
- That is a normal rollout path. DoneThat is designed to support those reviews with explicit documentation on what gets captured, what gets shared, and how to start with limited visibility or employee-only modes first.
