Tool Information
RescueTime automatically tracks time spent across apps, websites, documents, and pages, detects idle time, supports offline activity logging, and offers searchable reports, categories, productivity trends, API/export access, focus sessions, distraction blocking, goals, alerts, daily highlights, focus-zone detection, and calendar integration. It also offers RescueTime Timesheets and team-oriented reporting, categories, role permissions, and administration.
The official annual plans list Solo Focus at $7/month billed $84 annually, Solo+ Timesheets + Focus at $12/month billed $144 annually, Team Focus at $10/user/month billed $120 annually, and Team+ Timesheets + Focus at $16/user/month billed $192 annually.

Activity monitoring can expose sensitive information. Configure tracking schedules, pause tracking when appropriate, use least-privilege team access, notify and obtain consent where required, and review privacy/legal obligations before deploying monitoring in a workplace.
