Monitor Employee Screens, Apps, Websites, Chats, and USB with Your Self-Hosted Server
Trusted by businesses globally since 2007.
OsMonitor is a powerful on-premise employee monitoring software strictly built for Windows. From a single manager PC, you can monitor and control all employee computers across your company. It lets you know exactly what your employees are doing every day by tracking their live screens, web browsing, and chat history. More importantly, it allows you to restrict what they cannot do—instantly blocking non-work websites (like shopping or gaming), unauthorized applications, and USB drives. All your data stays securely on your own server, never uploaded to the cloud.
🛡️ Tested and whitelisted by leading antivirus providers, including Microsoft Defender, Avast, Bitdefender, and Symantec.
Why Companies Choose On-Premise Employee Monitoring Software
Many businesses prefer on-premise employee monitoring software over cloud-based tools because it gives them greater control over privacy, compliance, and internal data security. OsMonitor is designed for organizations that want to monitor employee computers without sending sensitive logs to a third-party SaaS platform.

- 🖥️ Windows-Focused Deployment: Designed specifically for Windows PCs and Windows Server environments.
- ⚡ Ultra-Lightweight: At under 6MB, it is exceptionally small and designed to have minimal impact on employee PC performance.
- 📋 Better Internal Control: Ideal for productivity management, internal auditing, and data leak prevention.
- 💵 No Recurring SaaS Fees: Avoid monthly cloud subscriptions and keep long-term costs predictable.
