Take Control of Your Time: Automatic time tracking with RescueTime

Visit RescueTime

RescueTime is a time tracking and productivity application that automatically records time spent on apps, websites, and documents, helping people understand where their time goes and manage distractions. It offers two tools within one app: Focus, for concentration and automatic activity tracking, and Timesheets, for tracking time by client, project, and task.

Focus includes automatic time tracking, insights and reports, weekly summaries, and The Assistant, which brings meeting schedules, Focus Sessions, and key insights together. Premium adds Focus Sessions that block selected apps and websites, timers, goals with real-time alerts, offline activity tracking, daily target goals, keyword search, detailed document tracking, unlimited report history, advanced time filters, and daily highlights. Timesheets provides automatic logging by project, client, and task, billable rates, client reports, project targets, offline work entry, team calendars, and role-based access control. The client runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and ChromeOS, with an iOS app for starting Focus Sessions, timers, and logging offline activity.

RescueTime is available in Free and Premium plans, with a free trial offered. It serves individuals, freelancers, and teams, with separate Solo and Team editions for both Focus and Timesheets.
