Not sure I would ever pay for software to tell me where I am spending my time.

Not sure I would ever pay for software to tell me where I am spending my time.
- a-priori 18y agoWhile I'm sure a lot of people would be willing to (depending on the price, I may be one of them -- I'm a big fan of RescueTime), my understanding is that they are targeting businesses with their paid version.
- run4yourlives 18y agoRescueTime is probably the most useful yCombinator app out there. I would certainly consider paying for it.
- mechanical_fish 18y agoThat depends on the price. If it saves me one hour per year, it's technically worth $50 or $60 per year, or more. Of course, I'd have to think about that, whereas I'd pay $14.99 without a second thought. ;)

Rescuetime needs a function, where it can work in the background, so bosses will see what their employees are doing online. I worked on a big financial company, and they monitor a lot of stuff. I wouldn't be suprised that they will find something like this useful.
- vaksel 18y agothey already have complete access to your system using VNC, and they already have complete stats of all your browsing
- jfarmer 18y agoVNC gives them a very fine-grained view. At any moment I can watch what any individual employee is doing. That information, in and of itself, isn't very actionable. I'd prefer knowing that, on the whole, 10% of my company's man-hours are spent on digg, for example.
- jfarmer 18y agoNo, but your boss would.
