RescueTime Management App 2.16.8.1

RescueTime software enables you to tracking activity and provides an accurate picture of how a person or team works on a daily basis. It is a time management application that measures productivity by monitoring computer use. The software can track computer activities, active windows, websites visited, and programs used so that users can analyze how they spend time throughout a day.

It has on-screen reminders and a website blocking feature to help users keep their focus and stay on top of tasks that they need to finish. There is an option to pause or quit monitoring as well.

Aside from its primary time monitoring function, the application’s more premium plan offers advanced features such as measuring breaks, phone calls, and meetings. There are options to view extracted information in detail or via a summarized overview. It can also graph data derived from daily monitoring so that users can assess and report their individual or group’s productivity.

It tracks computer usage silently in the background and can be configured to block websites while Time Doctor encourages users to manage their daily priorities and track time spent on particular tasks. It requires no effort to use once installed, whereas Time Doctor is interactive by design.

It can track that a person was working on a Word document but just this information simply can’t tell you the actual work they were doing. So, even though it has some eye-catching graphs displaying the time worked utilizing different applications, the usefulness of the data is quite limited.

With RescueTime, you get a quick, glanceable insight into how you’re doing, including your:

• Desktop time with productivity scores
• Top activities for the day
• Overall productivity pulse
• Total mobile screen time, broken down hourly

RescueTime Features

Activity monitor: RescueTime is a program that lets you record your computer-related activity and automatically organizes the collected data into various categories. It consists of a client component that you need to download and install on your computer and a web-based dashboard.

The client retrieves data about your activity and sends it to the panel, where you can access it with ease. You can also navigate to the dashboard or modify proxy settings from the client.

Dashboard and reports: After the client has recorded an appropriate amount of information, you can open the dashboard and visualize it. You can see how much time has been logged by choosing between the daily, weekly, monthly and yearly intervals. The main screen also shows a pie chart, how much your productivity has increased and activity categories along with their corresponding percentages.

It is possible to observe a highlight of your top activities, which displays the most used applications as well as the most visited websites for the selected interval. You can also view a list of reports regarding applications, websites, categories, productivity, and goals.
