I don't understand how the software is supposed to make you work. I get that it can make sure you are not at the beach or coding a side project on their laptop (which would be foolish anyway) but that seems about the extent of it.

At the end of the day doesn't someone have to check your committed code to see if you doing something anyway?

Anyway I don't see that this has much to do with remote or not. With this style of management there would have been something similar if you were in the office. Nor do they need sophisticated time tracking to pull this off - I've seen managers do the same thing with Slack presence.
