About RescueTime
RescueTime is a time tracking app that records how you spend time on apps and websites. It also offers a separate tool for tracking billable work by client or project.
What it does
The app runs in the background and logs the apps and sites you use, then shows reports on your habits. You can set goals, get alerts when you drift, and start focus sessions that block distracting sites, apps, and chat. A second product, Timesheets, logs time by project, client, and task, and creates reports you can filter into invoices.
Key features
- Tracks time on apps and websites automatically
- Focus sessions block distracting sites and apps
- Goals and alerts for daily time use
- Timesheets by client, project or task
- Reports you can filter into client invoices
Who it's for
RescueTime fits solo workers who want to see where their hours go, and freelancers or small firms that bill by the hour. Managers can use the team options to balance workloads across a group.
Pricing and good to know
The site offers a free trial with a try-for-free button, and it lists solo and team plans, with a bundle that combines focus and timesheets. The listing does not state the prices. Because tracking runs automatically, check the privacy and data settings before rolling it out to a team.
