RescueTime
is committed to open conversation about its products and services. Conversations should be conducted in the spirit of the Company-Customer Pact.
A Vista Sidebar gadget would be really useful, as would be gadgets for the other popular desktop widget applications. The idea would be to keep an eye on productivity, for different ranges of time. Ie the last couple of hours, the day, the week, the month, etc. The idea would be to see your productivity at a glance and adjust your behavior in the short term (hour/day) to keep productivity high, so that you can grow your longer term productivity numbers. (week/month/year) The gadget would need to be small, as gadget real-estate is at a premium, and easy to decipher with just a quick glance. Perhaps red to green gradient speedometers or something? Maybe speedometers for the short term metrics (hour/day) with just numbers for the longer term stuff. (week/month) Of course, if there was an API then anybody could develop this. :-D Thanks for the awesome app!
I've downloaded the latest version of the Mac application (post segmentation fault fix), and whilst it no longer crashes (thanks for that quick fix!), I can't log in.
A few things:
- This log entry is added: 20/06/2009 22:28:27 [0x0-0xb00b0].com.rescuetime.RescueTime[1075] proxy_port set to sn_0_721072 (and my port is always set to "sn_0_721072" when it starts up);
- My username and password work fine when logging in to the website, and I've tried this a few times to be sure;
The error message I get is: "Activation Failed! Invalid username or password"
I use a number of Java-based applications (Eclipse, Aqua Data Studio, fabFORCE DB Designer etc) and I've noticed that all these apps get lumped together under the app name of "javaw".
Is these any way to differentiate between these apps?
I use a portable version of Opera, you can download it at www.opera-usb.com
It shows up in the process list as op.com
It reports in Rescuetime as op.com
Did you chose to ignore Opera as a web browser, I do not have this problem with IE, which reports the sites I went to in RescueTime. Could you change this so that I can see in RescueTime the sites I surfed to, instead of seeing "1h42 op.com".
While using Firefox I get every (sub-) domain viewed added to my list of apps, but it seems that Opera (http://www.opera.com) is only listed application-wide.
Could seperate subdomains and domains in Opera get listed as seperate applications too?
The rescuetime process on my mac is not responding. The Dashboard reports that it has not been updated for 1 day. 30 minutes ago it said no report for 23 hours. So it probably stopped reporting at around 1300 GMT 16 July 2009.
Until about 30 minutes ago, the process was providing me with a menu from the icon in the taskbar. It had not updated the server for 23 hours, however. I tried to "quit" from the menu, and the process no longer responds.
Help! I'd like to not lose 24 hours of activity. I will probably kill the process shortly and restart, but I don't know if it will lose info.
I tried RescueTime a while ago and it did not collect data from the Firefox 3 beta at the time, rendering it useless to me, because that is where most of my time disappears.
Since Firefox 3 has been released for a while now I assumed that the issue with RescueTime would likely have been fixed by now, so I decided to try again with the latest version. But it seems like the same problem is still there. Firefox only appears with window titles but no URLs in the logs and Firefox is not shown in the Dashboard at all.
This is on Mac OSX 10.5.4.
Do you have any idea as to when you might get around to fixing this problem? In the meantime, couldn't you at least report Firefox as an application instead of filtering it out?
I'm using OS X 10.5.5 and rescuetime wont launch. I can click the icon but it never even launches. I put it in the dock and if i click it, it doesn't even bounce or have a blue light underneath....PLEASE HELP!
Whenever I launch RescueTime, it opens System Preferences as well. (Mac OSX 10.4.11, PowerPC G4) Since RescueTime launches on login, I always find System Preferences open at startup.
This is minor, but annoying. Any ideas on how to stop Rescuetime from doing this?
I run rescuetime on two macs (a mac pro and a macbook pro). It used to work fine on both, but starting sometime in the last couple of weeks it broke on the laptop. It quits, silently, a minute or so after launching. A message does appear in the console that looks like these:
I'd like to be able to manually enter computer tasks that weren't recorded by RescueTime. I set up a new laptop this weekend and did some work on it, but I realize now that I didn't install RescueTime, so all my productivity went unrecorded! ;)
If there were a way to make manual records in RescueTime, I would be a happy camper.
Is there a way to manually log time spent on off-computer tasks, like working out or running errands? That functionality would be very useful to me. Thanks in advance!
If you use this company's products or services, we'll add the company to your dashboard. If you work for this company, we'll add you as an employee. Got it, thanks!
