How long until RT realizes I'm gone?
What sort of time scales does RT use to determine whether the user is active / idle? (i.e. after x minutes, it stops logging data, etc.) And, is this changeable?
I’m curious

Inappropriate?Currently RescueTime uses a metric of 120 seconds or no keyboard or mouse activity to determine if you have stepped away from the computer.
There have been a number of ideas on how to make it a bit more intelligent, including allowing people to tweak that idle time. Nothing has been finalized yet, but we'd love to hear your thoughts on the matter as well.
Thank you!

Thanks for the answer! For me, at least having the option of a longer idle time would help represent my work time more accurately. I often am using my computer for reference while working and may only look something up every five or ten minutes or so. That's just me, though!

Inappropriate?I was away from my computer for 30 minutes this afternoon and RescueTime logged me as working all that time. (I didn't catch which application it added the time to.) I'm using Firefox on a Mac. Any ideas why it would do that.1 Comment Add a comment

I had the same. I left it running on my secondary machine, and it logged 4.5 hours of time on LinkedIn, which is the page I'd left open!

Inappropriate?Having the option to adjust the idle time is certainly going to be helpful.

Inappropriate?How about tracking if the computer is locked?
