That's great. When you get the source code cleaned up can you make it available? Thanks – Darren, on October 09, 2008 20:24

Has anybody tried ManicTime? I had the same problem, not much at the computer and I wanted to track idle time so I can see how long a meeting took.
After trying everything out there, and I mean everything i found ManicTime. I have been using it for a couple of months now and it works great. It tracks the applications you use and your idle time.

But I think it is windows only.

Darren: I've grabbed the code and started enhancing some of the crap out of it. I've revised the idle detection to use the Windows API function GetLastInputInfo() which reports the what the TickCount was when input was last received, eliminating the typing-without-mouse-movement issue.

This would make the top of my list of "things that would make Rescue Time a must have". I have no problem paying for web services that help me stay productive. (Remember the Milk is the best $25 I ever spent), but I find it hard to use Rescue Time effectively when 50-60% of my time is spent off the computer.

I think Tony said it in the first response "We have some cool ideas around this that we'll hopefully get around to soon. Too much to do, too little time!" I know the feeling! ;) – Leslie Chicoine, on September 17, 2008 18:37

Why isn't all of this inside the original RescueTime app?
I have no time to try plug ins or external apps.

A comment/suggestion - if you could make the app track keyboard use as well as mouse use that would be great. I'm finding that it is regarding me as idle when I'm spending periods typing into Word and that risks the same time being counted twice, since RT will not see this as idle time. – Mark Posen, on August 21, 2008 12:45

I just want to say that this is an excellent little app and makes using Rescuetime so much more useful. I hope that the folks at Rescuetime will work with Darren to incorporate this functionality into the official product ASAP. – Mark Posen, on August 21, 2008 09:47

Thanks Travis. Obviously I must have been drunk over the past couple days to screw the link up this bad. I think it's corrected now but send me a comment if it's still screwy. – Darren, on August 19, 2008 17:06

FYI, the URL to use is

not

Case *does* matter. – TravisM, on August 19, 2008 16:58

A comment on the question "Can I use RescueTime to record non-computer tasks?" in RescueTime:

Hehehe, I wish this thing could be cross platform but I simply don't know enough to do that. Hey, you could look at the source and adapt it for use under Mac OSX. The code is very simple. I'm actually hoping someone uses the code and really enhances the crap out of it since my code is really weak. – Darren, on August 19, 2008 16:54

After several attempts I finally found the typo in the link and got the source code link corrected

I can't download the source. It looks like there is a typo in the URL.
I also tried http://ddixon.castoracer.com/rescueid...
but that didn't work either (404 not found). – TravisM, on August 19, 2008 15:54
