Many companies don't permit installation of non-company standard software, even if you have admin rights. My company is one. I use a thumb driver to run portable versions of dozens of great applications to get around this restriction. Hundreds of great apps are available in portable versions these days (take a look at www.Liberkey.com for examples). Having a portable RescueTime could save my career.
I suffer from ADHD and, as a result, I lose track of time doing internet research and will go on for hours pulling info and data when I should have stopped after 30 minutes. Having access to a tool like RescueTime would be a real boon.
Best Wishes,

I would like to know how many times I switch from application to application in a day. Feel like I'm wasting a lot of time jumping into Outlook to read the latest message.

It is great to see the time that I spent in word, but it would be even better to see the time spent in each document and what that name was... at the end of the day a person can look back and see how much time was spent on what.
Same would hold true for the amount of time spent in Outlook.
So a break down of..
reading email
writing email
Even further break down of how long on each record.Must be possible, I have seen it in other apps .... would be fantastic.

Please provide feeds that I can consume on Google Calendar
1. Category/Tag feed that will show my day visually, most importantly the productive vs. other time.
2. Summary feed - percentage of productive time - to be displayed at the top, like weather does. -
5.Show Link "Go to Dashboard.." after registration and instalation is done (www.rescuetime.com)
I know it's somewhere in the taskbar .. but for now it interrupted my flow with registering to and trying out your site.

Users are used to see a check icon if something is enabled or disabled. It's hard to distinguish at a glance if the service is currently running or not by reading
"Disable logging (currently enabled)" vs.
"Enable logging (currently disabled)"
as they both have the same length, both words and no checked icon in front.What about
[x] Enable logging
[ ] Enable loggingor
[x] Enable logging (currently enabled)
[ ] Enable logging (currently disabled)By the way: The same menu bar item for both states in the menu bar doesn't help to distinguish the current state either. Make it gray (like others), if the service is currently disables (But thats another ticket)

It is 1 thing knowing that you spend 5 hours per day in communication but for professional services people (lawyers, accountants, web designers etc) knowing what client/project you spent that time on is the information they need.
If RescueTime could associate an email address or subject line tag with clients/projects that the user sets up in RescueTime then I think you might be able to roll this out into the big legal and accounting firms... That would be incredible.

Situation: You're browsing Hacker News (news.ycombinator.com/) (or a number of other social news sites) and you decide to click on a link to read about said topic. Now, this random site shows up in RescueTime for 5 mins duration and obviously won't be tagged. How about an option to tag said site with a context due to it being related to Hacker News (with an auto tag to distinguish it from tags you did yourself)?
Very niche I suppose, but thought i'd request it anyways.

It would be useful to have the option to have multiple charts for each location you use your computer. You could have a have a laptop for both home and work; or you might have a desktop at work and a laptop at home.
Currently, I have different accounts for my home and work computers; and I am not happy about it.

Option to configure break notification intervalls - of course in an "intelligent" way i.e. dependent on certain tags: E.g. surfing some "private"-tagged sites for some minutes would be count as break, working for 2 hours on "working"-tagged issues would popup a notification if this interval is configured as maximum...

I'd like to request a new feature on the RescueTime logger: the option to treat all intranet sites (i.e., anything without a top-level domain) as being on my whitelist by default.
This would save me having to add each new intranet site to the whitelist as I realize that I'm using it.
(It might also boost corporate adoption, since it lets users be much more certain that they're not "leaking" sensitive URLs from within their corporate network to RescueTime)

could you make this run on an iPhone/iPod Touch? I don't know if it is even possible but it would be helpful to me at least

Show the number of daily shifts to an application, show the number of times you shift from a productive app to a less productive app in a period, and allow you to compare those numbers to your team average.

If you've been away from your computer for more than X minutes (setting by the user), RescueTime could prompt you with an optional "Where've you been?" dialog box where you could add one or more entities like, "lunch meeting", "support call", "coffee break" etc to fill in the "holes" in your data.

Collect and show document information. For example, rather than JUST showing Photoshop time, show me which documents I've worked on.
-
19.
Collect and show which directory I've been working in. For example, if I have a client directory/folder called "Acme, Inc", I'd like to see how much time I've spent working on documents there.

Allow a small form where you could add an entity like "phone call", "business lunch", etc., with a start and end time.

The ability to have automated real-time alerts for teams and individuals. For example, if you've got a goal of spending less than 3 hours each per week on social networking sites, you could have an alert appear to a user that said, "You've hit 3.1 hours on Social Networking, which is 21% more than the average RescueTime user".

Allow a small form where you could add an entity like "phone call", "business lunch", etc., with a start and end time from the data collector. We could create a simple keyboard shortcut to bring up the form.
