Before you can install the Insightful app to your device, your Admin or Manager, if they have the needed permission, need to add you as an employee from their Insightful dashboard. You will receive an invitation email containing your credentials and instructions on how to install the app.
Installation
Via Initial Invitation
Check your email for an invitation from your Admin.
Follow the instructions in the email to finish the setup of your account and download the app.
Manual Installation
If you haven’t downloaded the Insightful app via an invitation or you need to install it on another computer you are also working on, go to https://app.insightful.io.
Log in using the credentials from your invitation email.
This will take you to your Employee page. Here, you can view your attendance, productivity, and a history of the apps and websites you've visited (if these permissions have been enabled by your Admin/Manager).
To download the app, find the Download option on the sidebar menu on the left. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
Installation tips
Windows
When you download the Workpuls.exe file to your device, to start the installation process double-click on it. This action must be done by the Admin user.
MacOS
When you download the Workpuls.dmg file to your device, drag it to the Application icon.
Due to the macOS's extensive privacy control, users will see a popup after workpuls.dmg is installed. The system will prompt them to allow Insightful control over accessibility features. They should click on the Open System Preferences button and check Insightful to allow permission.
Linux
You can find instructions for installing in our Linux Installation guide article in the Personal Computer section.
Accessing Your Dashboard
Once the app is installed and you are logged in with your invitation credentials, you can access your dashboard at any time in two different ways:
Opening the Insightful widget - Locate the Insightful widget on your device and click the Open the dashboard button.
Via Internet browser - Login on https://app.insightful.io using your credentials from the invitation email.
Additional Notes
Permissions
The specific data you can view (e.g., attendance, productivity, visited websites) depends on the permissions set by your Admin/Manager.
Multiple Devices
You can install the Insightful app on multiple devices and log in using the same credentials. Just make sure that you have logged out before logging in to another device to track your time.
Admin/Manager
If you have an Admin/Manager and employee account with the same email address, you won’t be able to see the Download button on your dashboard as it will redirect you to the dashboard with the highest permissions. You can use this link to download the Insightful app to your device.
