RescueTime vs. TMetric

To understand where you are wasting too much time, and what you have to cut out in order to stop losing attention to what really matters in a day's work. It's a good app to categorize your day-to-day work and report your productivity level, and also how focused you are on what really matters from 9 to 5.

The product has improved a lot since they started. It's becoming more robust, and still simple with a lot of great features. The interface, although has room for improvement, is easy to use and quick to learn, providing a pleasant experience. It doesn't require the user to spend a lot of minutes editing form fields, and at the end of the day/week, you will have your report of work done.

• We use the integration with Zapier to connect our calendars to TMetric, and there is some limitation in that only one set of default settings (task, project) can be applied.

I think usability is where this product really shines. It just plain works. It's snappy, intuitive, and gets the job done. It is incredibly easy to use with a color-coded tagging system. It very clearly details out your breaks VS billable time, and gives you detailed reports that are useful when talking with clients and/or meeting with stakeholders.

During 4 years, we have not needed much support, but when we did, the responses were fast and effective (although not always written in the most comprehensible English).

We required the 3 fields to be entered: project, task and activity - with links to related software (in GitHub). When we last evaluated, in 2018, only TMetric enables us to configure these with sufficient granularity for our needs.

• Prioritize the most important jobs.
• To set a limited time for less important work.
