http://www.productiveflourishing.com/... has a useful analysis of RescueTime, including mentioning some things the team could do to improve it. http://jawmaster.wordpress.com/2008/0... underlines some other limitations.

I look forward to RescueTime being a tracker as well as a productivity saver.

I'll leave it running, but its insufficient in itself to not need something else to capture the documents in use.

Slife labs have an application. I'll try that next.

Rescue Time is a useful app alright, but it is quite a limitation to not recall the title of the application (thus store the document I was working on).

This is the same request for http://getsatisfaction.com/rescuetime... (presently 26 votes) and http://getsatisfaction.com/rescuetime... (17 votes).

Also, there's no timeline, so I can't scroll through the day. Timesnapper was much more useful in that regard, but I can't use it as there's no Mac version.

I've only just started using RescueTime, and it's very cool - I'll keep using it. I'm amazed that an app like this is free. It will be made exponentially cooler when I can track individual docs. Thanks!

Tragically, this got delayed-- we've been barraged by by users who are signing up (who don't seem to think we're ENTIRELY useless... :-) ), so we've been focusing on scaling. This is high on our list, though-- so stay tuned. – Tony, on August 18, 2008 15:44

Sooo, is this feature in now? I can't seem to find it, and RescueTime is quite useless for me if I only see "Visual Studio" without any indication on what project I have been working on.
