How do I effectively use RescueTime on two computers side by side?
I work with my Mac laptop next to my PC desktop. I've installed RT on both systems. I switch between the two using Synergy (network shared keyboard/mouse). The problem is that I want to use the non-computer time tracking offered by the popup on the Mac system. When I have my mouse on the PC box for over 5 minutes, the Mac assumes I've been AFK and asks what I've been doing.
How do I get the benefits of non-computer time tracking and use RT on both computers?
Thank you!!

Inappropriate?Howdy Merlin! Hrm. I don't have a GREAT answer for that. If you select "none of your business (don't log the time)" it won't log the time. So when you come back to your Mac/PC after perceived idle time (which really wasn't idle-- you were just on your other machine), then you could click that and that time wouldn't be double-entered.
I’m realizing this isn't an elegant solution

Inappropriate?Fantastic, that makes perfect sense.
I'm running into one other issue - the PC Data Collector is recording my time when I flip over to the Mac as 'SynergySys' because it is hosting the synergy connection sharing the keyboard/mouse. Should I just set this as neutral? Is there a way to not have it show up in the graphs?
EDIT: Just answered my own question. In Activities, clicked on the SynergySys activity, then clicked the (-) button and told RescueTime to Ignore Forever.
I’m glad you're looking for elegant solutions.
