RescueTime Alternatives and Similar Software

ActivityWatch

Log what you do on your computer. Simple (yet powerful), extensible, no third parties.

• The spirit and attempt is same - But ActivityWatch is more an alternative of ManicTime and not RescueTime. RescueTime uses crowd sourcing for tagging - and this is missing in ActivityWatch vikram_sjn • Mar 2019 Disagree   Agree
• There's automatic logging, just like in Recuetime. But unlike Rescuetime, your data is yours as the app is 100% open source, so IMO it is better suited for most corporate privacy policies and hence better for GDPR complience. Rescuetime is fine if you are a home user and don't care about privacy, but due to EU privacy law, it is not suited for the corporate environment in the EU.

Local storage, powerful statistics: see which applications you use the most or on which web sites you spend the most time.

• You have to host your own server in order to sync data across devices. Anon_J • Dec 2018 • 2 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• It works really well, and allows viewing the timeline in an interactive, visual way, and in even greater detail than RescueTime. waldir • Mar 2017 • 2 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree   Agree
