This is a really useful facility, like one of the earlier posters, I realised it would be ideal for checking how long I had spent working on a project (an architect working a lot of the time on a time charge basis) if I hadn't made a note of the start time. Therefore I installed it on both computers (XP64 and win7, no problems on either) only to discover that it is so rudimentary that you can't even change the interval at which it takes the screenshot and seems to be pre-set to one hour, which is no use at all for what I needed. However it seemed such a useful idea that I then spent some time tracking down an alternative. Although there are a lot of screengrabbers, very few of them have the timer facility. I tried three more before finally ending with 'TimeSnapper' which seems perfect and the free version is more than adequate for what I need. It gives complete control over how often the screenshot is taken (in seconds), how long kept for, works with multiple screens and even I think has options for selecting an area of the screen or single windows though I don't see why that would be useful. And it has already proved itself, as it was needed this evening. I am very grateful to ScreenBackTracker and GOTD for alerting me to the existence and possibilities of this kind of software, just a pity that the giveaway itself isn't flexible enough to be of use.

Ask yourself, do I want screen shots from my banking in my computer?
Do I want private pictures as screen shots in my computer?
Do I want screen shots of my e-mails as saved screen shots?
Do I want screen shots of my documents that I just wrote and saved?

See the problem, if you do care about any of these, you are exposing yourself as perfect person to be hacked, how do you know that this software may not be hacked too and exose you to the criminals.

Wow! So many differences of opinion on this one! I don't know what to believe, and because of that, I'll pass on this! Better to be safe than sorry!

How does it remind you of actions you need to remember, will it pop up with reminders?

After reading many of the comments I decided to install this and have a look for myself. The program works well and I can see both sides of the arguments put forward and yes when activated it record all your personal information which quit rightly does give rise to the question of what happens if the data recorded falls into the wrong hands ... But isn't this the case with ALL your personal data on your PC? Simple solution is to block the software with your fire wall, encrypt your files and whee possible store them on a removable external drive ... Common sense really. If you have security concerns and can't take steps to protect yourself then maybe you should stay offline. There is always someone out there who will try and steal your info given half a chance.

I use another product for exactly this purpose. I write custom software and Bill by time. Occasionally I forget to log my time. I can then use a product like this to determine how much time was spent.

Windows 7-10 has Steps Recorder, search in the start menu.

Without counting the NSA and whomever else (ISP, (secret) intelligence services, medical insurance companies, ...), this software is watching your PC but who's watching the software, and who's watching the watchers, and.... ? Surveillance, tracking, data collection, customer experience.... ---you're already under increasing scrutiny and you want more? I have the right to be paranoid but I have all the reasons to be so.

Can't get their video to play:

The info saved in backtracking can be used against yourself. Easy way your passwords to be stolen. Perfect for a hacker, all your activities in one file.
Ask yourself, how many days of activity is saved in this file, if you do not know the answer, you will be better off without it.

I like ScreenBackTracker. It is a good tool to illustrate step by step procedures. Yeah, it saves a lot of time. +1.

Today's software can also be used for peoples, who writes manuals.
Activate the software, do the actions in the software of your choice and afterwards you have a lot a screenshots.
And choose the shots you need, edit them and use them in your paper . . .

This could potentially have uses when trying to solve PC issues, that may allow you to see what changes you have made over a period of time in order to find a point in time where an issue could have occurred.

Or keeping track on what your children do in order to protect them.

Your boss spying on you.
There are many other similar software in this genre.
It is also known as "Employee Monitoring".

And people condemn the NAS. Why blame the NAS when every day this is done to you?

A key logger, 'ideal' for covert surveillance. Hm.
This would be illegal if installed on a PC you do not own and without the users permission unless you have a warrant signed by the Home Secretary!

Surely this is only something of use to a business & then will commercial use be covered by the free offer ??

It appears to do things which I have specific software on my PC to prevent such as anti key logging etc.....I'd be concerned about any back door access to the program

Tried to install about 5 times. Panding for 3 minutes with message (Please Wait...) And after it gives me an error "Could not connect to server. Installer will now about" ?
What to do ?

Come on English is not the first language for everyone if a simple fault is made read it over and try to understand what is meant we are not school children ( i hope ) , the company is Brazilian . What ? do you think is meant ??

From the description "ScreenBackTracker is a life saver tool that reminds the user of important past actions he needs to remember but simply can't" What?
