Hubstaff has become a go-to solution for employers to monitor their remote teams. It tracks mouse movement, takes screenshots, and logs app activity. But for freelancers and remote workers, this constant surveillance often feels invasive. You’re not just being managed — you’re being watched.
That’s where TimeCloak comes in. Its Invisible Cloak feature makes time tracking stealthy and user-controlled, giving professionals an ethical way to protect their time and focus. If you’re looking to bypass Hubstaff, this guide shows how TimeCloak helps you do it — cleanly and confidently.
The Problem with Hubstaff
Hubstaff does more than track time — it captures screenshots, logs app usage, and even monitors keystrokes. While it’s marketed as a productivity enhancer, it can feel more like digital micromanagement.
TimeCloak flips that model. Rather than monitor your every move, it helps you appear active while focusing on actual work. It’s the ideal Hubstaff alternative for remote professionals who need space to deliver results — not justify every click.
What Is Invisible Cloak?
Invisible Cloak is TimeCloak’s most powerful feature. It simulates real activity — from mouse movements and keystrokes to tab switching — without being detected by software like Hubstaff, Jira, or Apploye.
Invisible Cloak includes:
- Cursor drift patterns based on human behavior
- Interval-based simulated input
- Idle-time triggers that reactivate movement
- Stealth mode that avoids detection from screenshots

Why Freelancers Prefer TimeCloak
Freelancers and contractors working on platforms like Upwork often feel pressure to stay visually active. Hubstaff punishes inactivity, even if the work is happening mentally — like reading specs or planning code.
TimeCloak fixes this by:
- Simulating low-key activity during thinking or breaks
- Making you appear present without constant movement
- Allowing full customization of screen interaction rates
- Preventing suspicious patterns that raise flags
It’s not about cheating — it’s about avoiding outdated metrics that don’t measure true value.
