RescueTime

RescueTime is time tracking software that runs in the background on desktop, mobile and web and records time spent in apps, websites and documents without manual timers. RescueTime Focus adds distraction blocking through Focus Sessions, daily focus goals, smart alerts, focus-zone detection, a calendar feed and daily and weekly summaries, with detailed activity, productivity and category reports. RescueTime Timesheets turns tracked activity into time logged by client, project or task, producing timesheets and reports for clients or managers, and data can be exported or accessed through an API.

RescueTime suits freelancers, knowledge workers and teams that want an accurate picture of how they spend working hours. Because it records app and website activity, teams should agree on what is tracked and follow workplace privacy rules. Nothing was tested for this listing.
