RescueTime Alternatives for Linux

Alternatives to RescueTime for Linux with any license

ActivityWatch

ActivityWatch is an app that automatically tracks how you spend time on your devices. It is open source, privacy-first, cross-platform, and a great alternative to services like RescueTime, ManicTime, and WakaTime. It can be used to keep track of your productivity, time spent on different projects, bad screen habits, or just to understand how you spend your time.
- Open source, really tracks lots of stuff, no hidden paid option once you're accustommed to it, huge efforts for making it work on Windows, Mac AND Linux, tracks stuff in web browser too Guest • Apr 2020 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees
- Free, Open Source and Cross platforms... What more do you need? Guest • Oct 2020
- 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.

- 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 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees
- Automatic like RescueTime, but open source and extendable, with full and exclusive user control of data. Guest • Dec 2017 • 5 agrees and 4 disagrees

ManicTime

Track your computer usage and use collected data to accurately tag time. Auto tracking of computer usage (8 languages), during a day average user can switch back and forth between applications more than a 1000 times, which means ManicTime gathers a lot of data. 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 • 3 agrees and 0 disagrees
- 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
