How advanced is remote worker monitoring these days? Anyone used tools like Monitask?

I’m considering switching to a fully remote role, but I’m a little anxious about how companies are tracking remote workers nowadays. In the office, it’s totally normal to chat with coworkers or grab a coffee, but I’m worried that doing the same thing at home might look suspicious to monitoring software.

I’ve heard of tools like Time Doctor, Hubstaff, and more recently Monitask, which I think is supposed to be a bit more flexible. But honestly, I don’t want to end up in a situation where I’m scared to get up for lunch or take a normal break just because a system is watching my mouse and keyboard activity.

Anyone here have experience working under these systems? How intense are they really? And are there any setups that are more humane or reasonable?
