RescueTime runs in the background and automatically records the time I spend on numerous apps and websites, giving me a clear view of my daily behaviors. This helped me focus on what mattered and avoid distractions. The ability to create alarms when I spend too much time in non-productive activities has been a good reminder to stay focused. When I have multiple projects and tight deadlines, the Focus Time option helps me avoid distractions and focus on my vital work.

It can silently and non–intrusively map everything I do on a daytoday basis, whether I'm checking emails, preparing content for my classes or doing academic reading. At the end of each day I receive a detailed report on my productivity; RescueTime also sends me a breakdown each weekend in my e–mail that shows my time use patterns and a visual summary with easy to interpret graphs and data.
