Those are great ideas. I love the new Focus features in Monterey, too. One thing that MacOS can’t do is tell you when to stop working for the day once you’ve gotten enough focus work done. That feature is the one I use the most in this new

It’s true that unfortunately over the years there have been enough bad actors where I can’t describe our commitment to privacy in a way that easily instills trust. We’ve definitely benefitted from many users’ trust over the years in that we

Great note about the signup flow not messaging that. We’ll correct that for sure. In terms of 30 minute increments, that’s not currently supported due to super annoying technical reasons around the way we’ve structured our database. Somethi

Totally true (and unfortunate) that so many founders go down that path. If it helps, we've never really seen a strong pull revenue-wise to go down that direction. We strongly prefer to make beautiful premium software that helps people.

Definitely planning on working on it. Thanks for chiming in to help us prioritize this.

Thanks so much! So happy to hear.

I'll check it out. :)

Yikes, that's not good, sorry. I wonder if there's something specific with your setup, we haven't had any problems like that from other users today. If you could email help@rescuetime.com I'd love to help figure out what

Sorry about that - pricing is $12/month or $78 if paid annually. We're going to add it back to the site - it was on the old version of the account create page before we added the new survey (oops).

Yeah, we've analyzed enough data over the years that I think for the most part we can finally move away from this. The trick is keeping up with new applications and websites and understanding how they fit into peoples' work habits

"tattleware" is the exact opposite direction that we want to go, and this new release is part of us putting our flag down against it. Thank you so much for saying this.

by bfioca 5y ago
You're totally right - we think it might exclude some of those people, too. We're tracking user feedback, though, and keeping an eye on it. But we just want to make sure we don't promote unhealthy habits with too much detail.

That's a great question. I think it would be better answered by Mark, who is our current CEO - he's been around the longest! Myself and my cofounder left for a few years and came back. I could talk for hours about what that was li

Thanks! And sure - you can see all of the data that we track by looking at the diagnostics window in the app: https://help.rescuetime.com/article/50-how-can-i-reset-my-re... In short we track the name of the applicatio

We're all over the place having started building in 2007. Mostly rails (latest version though!) on mysql, with lots of good old jQuery thrown in. ;) The client stack is cross-platform C++ with platform specific UI on top, including som

Great note. We're releasing a reworked version of offline time entry next month. Our stand on bringing classic features to this new version involves evaluating how they might work in this new balance-centered mindset. Reports on time s

That's so awesome, you rock! I love to think that we've been around helping people for so long.

Sorry - it wasn't our intention to obfuscate it. Pricing is $12/month or $78 if paid annually. Making a note to add it to the front page (it was on the old signup page before the relaunch).

Thanks so much! Super great feeling to think of us as an inspiration. Tony had a LOT to do with this new version - he came back for a little over a year to product manage it himself.

Hm - there might be something wrong with your old account. Checking into it, but things should be working. Can you email help@rescuetime.com and we'll see if we can sort out what's up? Sorry about that!

by bfioca 5y ago
Ah, great point. Adding that to our design pipeline.

by bfioca 5y ago
It might be possible to work that way, none of us have tried it explicitly yet though. That's a great feature suggestion, I'm adding it to the roadmap.

Not just yet - but we're working on a new build that supports the new version.

by bfioca 5y ago
Thanks so much for the support! Yeah YC was a long time ago for us, but we're really happy to be in the family. They've been amazingly supportive over the years.

Wow, thank you so much! We don't have the linux build for this version finished just yet but we get a lot of requests for it, for sure. Honestly hoping to get that build soon - but you're right, we're a small team (13) and so

We don't have the linux build for this version finished just yet - but the good news is we just hired someone who is pretty passionate about linux, so there's good reason to think it'll be prioritized. As for app tracking, we

Thanks for the nice note. In the old days we used to get a lot of requests from bosses who wanted to see screenshots of people's computers. We vowed we'd go out of business before building anything like that, and I'm sure we&

Requiring sending data to a remote server is definitely something we want to move away from. The good news is our engine is pretty advanced and we're looking at being able to bundle it for a local install. Notes like these help motivat

Yeah I typoed it in my hurry to respond, fixed. And totally a good idea. It used to be front and center on the signup page and then we entirely reworked our signup flow to have the personalization survey first.
