“RescueTime is like having your own personal Big Brother of productivity; it's not the 1984 kind of omniscient overlord, but a helpful overseer who just wants you to be a more efficient person. You'll discover thing about yourself that will make you wonder how you ever got any work done without RescueTime”
-Alexis Ohanian, Founder Reddit

“I ♥ RescueTime! It is without question the best tool to understand how you spend your time. Sometimes it feels like magic: it just knows the things I'm doing which are wasting my time. Finding the obvious time sinks is great, but it also lets you drill down to understand the things that aren't so obvious. After using for over 2 years, the accumulated data pays huge dividends, so I can't imagine I'll ever stop using it.”

From around the blogosphere:

“I have used Basecamp, Campfire, Google Calendar, Gmail, Newsvine, and others. They all have their purposes, but I could easily find a replacement for any of them. RescueTime is by far the most impressive tool I’ve found in a long time... The point of RescueTime isn’t to show you that you’re a slacker. It shows you, without remorse, how much time you spend in each application or on each task while you’re at your computer.” -Ben Bleikamp, Freelance Designer

“...the neatest, sweetest application I’ve ever seen...” -Men With Pens

“...for those who are serious about increasing their efficiency and finally getting a handle on their technology-driven life. I give RescueTime and A+...” - The Tech Brief

“their product ROCKS MY WORLD and looks so polished. These guys are doing something for personal productivity and time management that is going to make a lot of us more aware of how much time we ‘waste’ and how much value we are getting out of it. Frankly, I was actually proud to see how much work I was doing once I looked at this, it was like getting a pat on the back.” - Danielle Morrill, Entrepreneur

“RescueTime is the greatest thing since sliced bread.” Frank Gilroy, Software Engineer

“RescueTime is an amazing webapp that snoops on your computer usage and puts the data in a taggable online web interface for you to share and organize how you like. You can even set goals for computer usage. It’s the first time I’ve INVITED big brother into mah house for dinner. Don’t worry, I made sure he signed a privacy notice. It’s all good, at least until the divorce; then ALL bets are OFF. I just want to keep the good china, and his CD collection. It’s better than mine.” - Megan, of Megan vs. the Internets
