RescueTime is definitively a good way to manage not only billing hours but get a honest view of all the time wasted in non productive things.

Impressed with RescueTime so far. Easy analytics on how you spend your time. I am way more productive than the average person, apparently!

Installed the free version of rescuetime yesterday, it's great. Just emailed me to say I've spent 1hr being distracted today... bugger.

RescueTime is a web-based time tracking and management tool that can provide you with powerful business intelligence and help your team get more productive.

By studying our database of hundreds of millions of person-hours of time and by tracking self-identified productive time, we are able to show that the average RescueTime user recovers an average of 9% of productive time per week in the first 6 weeks.

The best way to get a sense of how it works for you or your team is to sign up for a free trial. You'll be up and running in a minute or two. Not yet ready to give it a try? Scroll down for some feature screenshots.

Manager Features

Time Tracking (with no data entry!)

RescueTime sits in the background and measures which application, web site or (optionally) document is actively being used. What and when you track time is up to you. You can set up automated scheduling, selectively delete tracked data, or allow your team to control their own schedules/data.

Controls to Match your Team's Needs & Culture

Are you just looking for simple automated time tracking?RescueTime permissions can allow you to deploy to your team in restricted mode, if you're interested in a time tracking/analytics tool with no data entry.

Do you want to get your high-end team involved with own time management, too? Go with open mode, which gives your team the ability to pause the tracking process and even delete bits of their own data. For extra individual privacy, you can set up a whitelist of sites that you want to track (all other sites will be lumped into generic browsing stats).

Powerful Analytics - Totals and Trend Reports for the Whole Team as well Individuals

RescueTime can show you a wide variety of reports and gives you a rich dashboard showing the data that's important to you, whether it's group roll-up reports to uncover trends or individual timesheets to audit a remote worker. See the top apps and sites for a week, see how email time ebbs and flows throughout the day, see which days of the week are most productive.

Group Management for Larger Teams

Many companies have teams with diverse skills, tools, and responsibilities. Facebook might be a hugely distracting force for your engineering team but a critical channel for your marketing team. With the groups management tool, you can analyze time data based on department or any other criteria.

Automated Project Tracking (New!)

Say goodbye to timesheets as you know them! Why ask your team to meticulously (but not always accurately) document individual tasks when RescueTime can do it for you? Projects are tracked by keyword matching and team members can manually assign blocks of the day to specific projects and let RescueTime fill in the details. If you forget to assign project time, RescueTime gives you an easy overview of your time to help you fill in the blanks.

Optional Features for Your Team

Block Distractions and Get Focused

RescueTime Focus Mode allows you to voluntarily block the distracting parts of the internet for a period of time you specify. RescueTime will enforce this focus-- it's a firm commitment. Sites are automagically categorized as distracting, but you have the power to recategorize things if you need to.

Nudge team members when they get too distracted

Just knowing how you spend your time is often motivating, but RescueTime allows you to provide more active motivation. You can set soft limits and get alerted or choose to block distracting sites for a specified period of time.

Track meetings, calls, and offline work

Tracking meetings, calls, and other non-computer work is important. When your machine goes idle, a message pops up asking you what you've been up to (you can configure these options however you see fit).
