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.

Hmmm... Now, my last two weeks also show as zeroes. Am I the only one having this issue? Seems the data is all there, but the summary graphs are simply wrong. Although this really is a minor issue, it ruins my dashboard and I can no longer see how incredibly productive and efficient I am...

Efficiency and productivity charts of previous weeks at zero

This is a minor issue, because everything seems fine, but the small charts under the efficiency and productivity displays seem wrong. They show my last few weeks at zero, although that's not what it says if one goes back one week.

I've included screenshots, the first is the current week, and the second is for last week:

"1) Doing that in such a way that our servers down melt.
2) Doing that in such a way that is easy to use and easy to understand.

#2 is easier than #1. "
I'm not sure about that. Actually I think #1 is easier than #2. As ..:
I'd like this tagging to be local. I know that this is more difficult to debug and it's more difficult to help the user setting it up and it's more difficult to user the power of the crowd, when everyone is doing it locally.
For all of that: You can have my local script and change it from the website. And recommend scripts to me on the website. But I want to be able to locally change "https://twitter.com/Scobleizer" into "https://twitter.com/fun" and I want change "https://mybank.com/asdfkasfdg/asl#asd.asdfawer3" into "https://mybank.com" locally. I'd be happy for you to know all my scripts (regular expressions) but I'd be much happier if I could choose whether you ever got into your server whose twitter pages I look at.

A comment on the question "User-defined splitting of large sites" in RescueTime:

Thanks for the quick reply. I understand that this is not a high priority. However, in the case of Wikipedia, splitting it into two "sites" -- 1) Wikipedia and 2) Wikipedia (editing) -- would only require matching simple strings in the URLs. Isn't that, more or less, how you already distinguish subdomains of google? Perhaps a more sensible approach would be to allow users to collectively define sub-domains similar to how categories are set by voting. Once a subdomain gets enough votes, it is installed in the database... – Viktor, on June 11, 2008 19:24
