Can the Time Doctor App Slow Down my System?

Some people might have concerns that Time Doctor might slow down their system; however, it is unlikely. 

There are two versions of the Time Doctor app: silent and interactive. It’s normal for the interactive app to consume more resources because it has a UI and the silent version does not.

The Time Doctor silent version is less than 55 MB in size for Windows, Mac, and Ubuntu. Use the images below as a reference point for how much each app consumes.

These are real screenshots from users who have the app installed. Results may vary depending on the applications and websites open at the time the screenshots were taken.
