What is RescueTime?

RescueTime runs quietly in the background on desktop and mobile, automatically tracking the apps, websites and documents a user spends time in without manual timers. It scores activity for productivity, delivers weekly reports on trends, and offers Focus Sessions that block distracting sites and apps while optionally playing focus music. Offline activities like meetings and calls can also be logged so reports reflect a full day.

The free Lite plan covers core automatic tracking and reporting, while paid Solo and Team plans add Timesheets for client and project billing, detailed timelines, smart fill suggestions and role based access for teams. All paid plans include a 14 day free trial, and pricing is lower when billed annually.
