How it works
How Flowace’s Stealth Employee Monitoring Works
A record built for review, not hours of footage to sit through.
Keypad and Cursor Activity (Premium tier) measures effort and engagement, the signal your team actually needs to act on.
Categorization rules are configurable per team, so what counts as productive is your call.
Activity is cached locally and synced automatically the moment the device reconnects.

Comparison
Flowace vs other stealth monitoring software
| Feature | Flowace | Teramind | Other stealth monitoring software |
|---|---|---|---|
| Live screen viewing | Never offered, in any mode | Real-time viewing with DVR-style playback | Common — CurrentWare offers live desktop viewing too |
| Keystroke logging | Never, at any tier or mode | Full keystroke and text capture | Common among category leaders |
| What "stealth" actually changes | Visibility only, identical data and standard as every other mode | Unlocks additional invasive capture | Usually the same pattern as Teramind |
| Pricing | Published, every tier | Unpublished, quote-only | Varies |
| Screenshot capture | Periodic, scheduled | Not the primary method (live-view led) | Apploye adds a live feed on top of screenshots |
| Activity log precision | 1-second (Standard/Premium) | Not published | Not published |
| Data retention | 1 year, every tier | Not published | Varies |
| Deployment | Desktop app, Windows/Mac/Linux | Windows, Mac, Linux | Varies |
| Mobile monitoring | Not offered | Offered | Varies |
| Competitor | What their stealth/hidden monitoring page actually offers |
|---|---|
| Teramind | Markets itself as "undetectable," with real-time screen viewing, HD recording with DVR-style playback, and full keystroke/text logging |
| Apploye | Adds a live feed on top of scheduled screenshots; separately claims to avoid keylogging in favor of input signals, closer to Flowace's position on that one point |
| CurrentWare | Offers live desktop viewing under its stealth mode, but its own page recommends pairing stealth deployment with employee notice, i.e. the same caution this page gives |
Proven Outcomes

By industry
How teams use stealth monitoring, by industry
Healthcare
Monitor shared clinical workstations without adding friction to patient care.
Front-desk and back-office staff often share devices across shifts. Stealth mode installs without an icon or notification, so it doesn't add a visible step to already-tight clinical workflows.
- Shared-device coverage
- No workflow interruption
- Same activity data as standard mode
BPO & Contact Centers
Deploy across high-turnover seats without a per-agent rollout conversation.
Shift-based, high-turnover contact center floors are the clearest fit for stealth deployment — provisioning a new seat doesn't require walking a new agent through a visible monitoring tool.
- Shift-based coverage
- No per-agent setup step
- Consistent data across every seat
Legal
Keep monitoring discreet where confidentiality is already the norm.
Legal teams already operate under strict confidentiality norms; a silent install fits that existing posture better than a visible on-screen indicator does.
- No visible indicator
- Same audit trail as standard mode
- Fits existing confidentiality practice
IT Services
Cover remote and offshore contractors on devices you don't physically manage.
Offshore and contract IT staff are harder to standardize device policy for. Stealth mode gives the same activity record without depending on the contractor acknowledging a visible agent.
- Remote/offshore coverage
- No dependency on device-level policy
- Same 1-second log precision
Accounting
Monitor close-season workloads without disrupting client-facing staff.
Accounting teams run heavy, deadline-driven cycles where staff are often client-facing. A silent install avoids adding a visible tool to a desktop that's already under pressure.
- No added on-screen presence
- Same activity data as standard mode
- Fits deadline-heavy workflows

Stealth monitoring runs the exact same screenshot capture and activity tracking as standard employee monitoring, without a visible icon or notification on the employee’s device. It doesn’t add extra data collection, it only changes whether the software is visible. See how this compares to standard screen monitoring for the full capability set.
Stealth mode doesn’t capture anything that standard mode doesn’t. It only changes whether the software is visible on the device, screenshots, activity logs, and every other data point stays identical to Interactive Mode.
Employees won’t know from the software itself that stealth mode is active, since it runs without a visible icon or notification. Whether you’re required to tell them anyway is a separate, jurisdiction-specific question, see “Is stealth monitoring legal?” below.
Flowace doesn’t log keystrokes in stealth mode, or in any mode, at any tier. What’s tracked instead is input frequency, how often the keyboard and mouse are used, a Premium-tier feature called Keypad and Cursor Activity. It shows how active someone was, never what they typed.
Stealth mode doesn’t include live screen viewing. Flowace doesn’t offer real-time screen viewing in any mode, screenshots are captured periodically, on a schedule you set, whether the software is visible or not.
The difference between Privacy Mode and Interactive Mode is visibility only. Privacy Mode installs silently, Interactive Mode is visible to the employee using the device, and the data captured is identical either way.
Stealth mode is supported on Windows, Mac, and Linux, with the same silent installation and the same capabilities across all three desktop platforms.
The activity log in stealth mode is precise to the second, on Standard and Premium tiers. It’s not included on Basic.
Stealth-captured data is retained for one year, on every pricing tier, the same retention period as standard mode.
Yes, Flowace is GDPR compliant.
Yes, Flowace is SOC 2 compliant.
Flowace is HIPAA-aligned rather than HIPAA certified, since HIPAA doesn’t have an official certifying body.
Yes, Flowace is ISO 27001 certified.
Flowace is priced across four tiers: Basic at $1.99 per user per month, Standard at $3.99, Premium at $6.98, and Enterprise on custom pricing. Annual billing saves roughly 30% against paying monthly.
Yes, Flowace offers a free 7-day trial, with no credit card required and no minimum number of seats.
Flowace’s stealth monitoring differs from most competitors by adding nothing beyond what standard mode already captures. Teramind’s hidden monitoring, for comparison, includes real-time screen viewing and full keystroke logging. Flowace’s stealth mode changes visibility only, not what’s collected.
Stealth-mode data can be pulled into your own systems through Flowace’s public API access, included on Premium and Enterprise plans, so activity and screenshot data can integrate with your own reporting or compliance tools.
Yes, stealth monitoring works for remote and hybrid teams. It tracks activity the same way regardless of location, which is part of why distributed and offshore teams are a common use case. Leadzen.ai’s remote team moved from 76.5% to 86.9% productivity after switching.
