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.

+1 for this. i used Slife for a while - even contributed some AS code for it to do this in Aquamacs - but Slife was a horrid RAM hog. if you can do this and not suck, you will be my gods.

i can easily end up with a day that is tagged "sysadmin" because i've worked in console for three clients. each terminal window has a titlebar which i could match against to know who was what, but knowing that i was using "terminal" is no real value. (i'm sure others have the same - "photoshop" or "neooffice".)

This problem has been resolved with the version 1.0.5.18 of RescueTime for Windows, which you can get by either select "Check for update" in the RescueTime menu, or manually re-installing from http://www.rescuetime.com/download

Thank you!

I wanted to be able to do this as well with my programming application. I got around the problem by intercepting what the RescueTime client was sending to the server and taking some of the title information and changing the application name to be more specific. I'd get time for pidgin_husband and pidgin_colleague accounting seperately. If you want to give it a try, send me an email at andrew at lunde dot com.

Of course, there should be a selection for every app (or by pattern), if I want just the app name, just the document or both.

Ataraxia (and anyone else), I think I've located the issue with Firefox 3 Beta 4 and 5. I'm putting together a build that I'd love to get some help testing. If you are interested send an email to team@rescuetime.com with your email address, and I'll add you to the list of testers for this release.

Thank you
