# Find free PC activity tracking software for client monitoring

## Problem
A client requested recommendations for PC activity tracking software with a preference for free options. They need software to monitor user activity on workstations.

## Resolution
Based on experience with commercial solutions, there are no reliable free PC activity tracking software options available. Tech B noted that truly free monitoring requires manual supervision.

For paid solutions that have been tested and used successfully:
1. **Teramind** - Commercial activity tracking software
2. **Ekran** - Commercial monitoring solution  
3. **ActivTrak** - Commercial user activity tracking platform

These commercial options provide comprehensive activity monitoring capabilities that free alternatives cannot match. Consider evaluating trial versions to determine which best fits the client's specific monitoring requirements and budget.
