"Allowed me to accurately quantify the amount of productive time in my day"

4.5/5

What do you like best about RescueTime?

It is a trusty, quiet app that never fails to work. A lot of new features and APIs are being introduced, allowing for BIG extensibility of your data! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RescueTime?

Logging time outside of RescueTime can be a little annoying, but that's really no fault of the app itself! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering RescueTime:

Do not fall prey to deleting all of the unproductive time. Try to go with the ratings and categories that they provide, rather than customizing everything to the micro detail. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is RescueTime solving and how is that benefiting you?

The 8 hours throughout the normal business day are absolutely vital for me. I want to make sure that I am spending time doing things which are either increasing knowledge, realizing revenue, and being productive. Because Lord knows there far too many distractions in today's tech-obsessed culture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Save your time, RescueTime"

5/5

What do you like best about RescueTime?

RescueTime allows me to get an in-depth report on the amount and time of use of the various sites and software installed on my computer automatically.

The software gives the motivation to work on software / productive sites and less on software/sites that waste time.

The report allows me to give more accurate working time to my clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RescueTime?

Some area of the report is locked in the free version, there is no plugin that allows you to actively lower your stay time on the various sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Rescuetime offers me insight in my online behaviour and how I spend my time"

4.5/5

What do you like best about RescueTime?

Since I started using RescueTime I became more productive only because it provides an excellent overview of how I spend my time online on my computer and offline work. I am much more conscious about my social media behavior, I must have cut my time spent on Facebook and Instagram at least by 75% resulting in more productive and focussed time during working hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RescueTime?

The interface is a bit outdated, but it works, and that's the most important thing. And it would be great if RescueTime would integrate with software like Toggle of Harvest to track time spent on client work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering RescueTime:

If you don't have a clue on how much time you spend on both productive and distractive things during working hours, RescueTime gives insight you need. Even the free tier is sufficient to provide you with insights enough to become more conscious and in the end, more productive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is RescueTime solving and how is that benefiting you?

RescueTime helps me concentrate by cutting off distractive websites and apps after a set amount of time and, it gives me insight into how I spend my hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5

I don't have anything negative to say about them. I've been using them for years and never had any problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

RescueTime allows me to make more of my time. Also, being able to set goals for multiple things is very beneficial. So, as how much time you want to spend on distractions and how much time you want to spend on the business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great integrations for auto-tracking daily work"

4/5

What do you like best about RescueTime?

The integrations were amazing. I particularly benefitted from automatically logging my git commits (Github integration) and my emails (Gmail integration). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RescueTime?

The Bitbucket / MS Outlook integrations are lacking. I loved auto logging emails sent, meetings, and commits made with other services (Github / Gmail). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering RescueTime:

This was a lifeline as a freelancer / remote worker. At the end of the day, I had a quick outline of all my work for the day which could be quickly shared with my clients / employers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is RescueTime solving and how is that benefiting you?

I used this program to create detailed logs of my daily work activities. It is significantly easier to consult my activity and integrated logs for client billing versus timers mixed with manual logging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

3/5

What do you like best about RescueTime?

I like the concise data reporting and presentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RescueTime?

The software should be more customisable and offer more features ie more specific/enhanced website/software time breakdowns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering RescueTime:

Make sure you configure things properly from the start; you'll have more robust data and the software will work better if you ensure things are optimally configured. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software keeps me accountable to myself and others when working on projects which are difficult to log time for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very good time tracker and productivity helper "

5/5

What do you like best about RescueTime?

The time tracking is very good, tracks everything: laptop, mobile, web and apps. The categories and the productivity grades are fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RescueTime?

Sometimes under Linux OS, it gets stuck, so it needs to be restarted. Other than that, There is literally nothing I dislike in this tool, it has everything I need, even the smallest features, and all that for free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering RescueTime:

Try it, I can bet you'll like it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is RescueTime solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm becoming more productive cause it reminds me not to waste time. My time management has also improved. Also I can understand precisely how I'm spending my time, so I can cut down somewhere in order to improve something else. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best tool to track your productivity"

5/5

What do you like best about RescueTime?

There are lots and lots of different reports, and a number of ways to customize and parse and filter all of the data to find the statistics you're looking for.

You can customize the categories and productivity level of any activity. You can also create your own categories, and enter your own activities (manually or with the API).

The information is very accurate, and it is also possible to obtain the file names of the files you've been working on (in Word or Excel, for example). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RescueTime?

There is an Android app to track your productivity on your mobile devices, but none for iOS. This is a restriction on Apple's side, and it would be really nice to see an integration of Apple's Screen Time data in RescueTime in the future. Simply be aware that this is currently a limitation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering RescueTime:

Even if RescueTime costs me some money, it allows me to bill time to my clients that I would have forgotten or underestimated if I didn't use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is RescueTime solving and how is that benefiting you?

It allows me to stay productive during the day, and prevents me from wasting too much time on issues and move on to other things to clear my head.

It's also very useful to know how much time you spent on various tasks in order to do your timesheets and bill your clients accordingly!

Turning work into a game allows me to do more in less time, and not staying up late at work! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
