PauseTimeDoctor

Time Doctor is a monitoring software used by various businesses to track the time of their employees. There are different opinions on the matter of monitoring software. Some will claim such software is good for increasing productivity, while others would argue it's intrusive and immoral. If you are falling into the second category, PauseTimeDoctor might interest you.

Time Doctor usually runs in silent mode, leaving no visual traces on the desktop. To check its presence on a computer, one can use the Task Manager. Any processes similar to "sfproc.exe" and "staffservice.exe" are clear indicators that Time Doctor is installed.

PauseTimeDoctor comes in a portable package, making its use a walk in the park. Hop it on a removable drive and each time you wish to take a break, slide it in and run it. Just remember to launch the tool after the Time Doctor process was initialized, otherwise, the app won't work. After TD is paused, the app will generate a message, instructing the user to check the suspended status within the Task Manager.

PauseTimeDoctor has no need for a complex UI. Its job is to suspend a specific time tracker, and that requires no more than a button. Suspending the app can also be done by hotkeys. CTRL + Alt + S for suspending Time Doctor, and CTRL + Alt + R for resuming it. There is no option that allows one to modify the hotkeys, but they are intuitive enough, such an operation is not needed.

All things considered, PauseTimeDoctor is not a tool that everybody should consider. Unless you are dealing with Time Doctor, there is no reason to download this utility. On the other hand, if you are feeling a little rebellious and wish to trick the system, you can give it a spit, but always make sure you are aware of possible consequences.
