RescueTime Feature Chat

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,

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.

I know it's somewhere in the taskbar .. but for now it interrupted my flow with registering to and trying out your site.

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.

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.

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)

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 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.

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.

Allow users to have RescueTime consume Outlook/Exchange calendar data to give an accurate picture of meeting time.
