Automatic time tracking and focus
RescueTime is an automatic time tracking and productivity tool that runs in the background to record how you spend time on apps and websites, then helps you build better focus habits. Rather than manual timers, it tracks automatically and delivers reports and focus tools, aimed at individuals and teams who want to understand and improve where their time actually goes.
The platform delivers two connected tools: RescueTime Focus, which automatically tracks time on apps and websites, sets daily focus-work goals, blocks distractions during focus sessions, and sends alerts and reports; and RescueTime Timesheets, which automates tracking time by client, project, or task for billing and productivity. Its automatic approach removes the friction and forgetfulness of manual tracking.
RescueTime offers a free version with substantial value that many find sufficient, and a Premium plan on a flat-rate model starting around 6.50 to 7 dollars per month, with a two-week free trial; larger deployments are quoted via sales. Its free version is well-regarded for automatically surfacing productivity insights at no cost. Aimed at individuals and teams focused on productivity and focus, it competes with Toggl Track, Clockify, TimeCamp, Timely, and Everhour.
