agree that an app to set task status would be ideal. if i head into a client meeting and don't have a laptop with me, or start a teleconference while getting onto the road, it would be great to set those "offline" tasks in motion.

how about having something use push notification to 'ping' me every so often to see what i'm up to? or at least ask me what i've accomplished in the past hour.

well you could add a way to manually track time according to the classifications we already have in the desktop/web applications. this way i could log additional offline time tracking info.

The iphone app could work as a timer, which RescueTime needs anyway for those periods away from a PC - this would make it a more useful, comprehensive application
i like these ideas. And, while you're at it, add an emailing option. I really talking about Gmail, now they've just added Task Manager. Not sure what I'd want emailed, but Oleg's suggestions might be a start.
Believe me, we looked at it. Right now the SDK forbids background applications (which is what RescueTime would need to be to monitor phone usage). We could have an app which allowed you to view your RescueTime data "on the go", but I dunno how useful that'd be.
This would be extremely useful with a little added intelligence.
For example, if I have categorized something on my calendar as TV or Entertainment, then I could now track how much time I watched TV. Or, if I have a calendar entry for 'Drive to Office' and 'Drive to Customer' and 'Drive Home', I could now easily figure out and track how much time I spend driving.
I would be concerned with how intrusive the plugin that hooks to Outlook would be, however. I wouldn't want private work notes within an outlook appointment to be transferred to RescueTime (although, I think the company does a good job of balancing privacy while extracting useful data).
Agreed, would be nice to have the same thing for Visual Studio to see which particular project I was working on. It is actually pretty much the same we now have with browsed web sites as we are able to tag not just Firefox but particular web site.
+1 For iPhone app
What about something for jail broken iphones? I've got a whole swag of stuff running in the background
You probably are wasting time on that - I do. Try Qlockwork. It's like RescueTime except it shows you all your context switches.

i agree that even a manual log kept via a frequently in-sync (user run) iphone app is a decent solution.
Add my vote. I'm in the same boat. Work and home = Apples to oranges.
Simply being able to manually track and tag time on the iphone would be very worthwhile if the data would sync with rescuetime.

Are you considering developing for Android?
o.k are there
I would like support for Maxthon v2 in rescueTime

another great idea. if you aren't going to pull in outlook appointments for a while, this would be a nice feature.
Great idea. I take my laptop home, so why would I want RT tracking that stuff compared to while I'm on the clock so-to-speak. Sean

This would be useful if users could modify the time easily. Meetings run late, end early, etc.
