When I know I'm not trying to be productive, I'll disable logging as I'm sure many people do. However it would be nice to have a visual cue to remind me to turn it back on when I start working again.
Could you add separate menu bar icons to indicate whether RescueTime is logging? Something as simple as the greying out the icon a la AirPort would be enough for me. Thanks!
My mac data collector is broken. :-( It worked for the first few days I had it, but now it won't upload anything. When I click "Send Update Now", the RescueTime logo just staying highlighted for a while like its thinking.
Hi! I have all my projects organized in different "Spaces" on Leopard. And I think it would be great if RescueTime had an ability to tag different spaces on Leopard (yes, with some "secret" setting :-).
I tried RescueTime a while ago and it did not collect data from the Firefox 3 beta at the time, rendering it useless to me, because that is where most of my time disappears.
Since Firefox 3 has been released for a while now I assumed that the issue with RescueTime would likely have been fixed by now, so I decided to try again with the latest version. But it seems like the same problem is still there. Firefox only appears with window titles but no URLs in the logs and Firefox is not shown in the Dashboard at all.
This is on Mac OSX 10.5.4.
Do you have any idea as to when you might get around to fixing this problem? In the meantime, couldn't you at least report Firefox as an application instead of filtering it out?
What sort of time scales does RT use to determine whether the user is active / idle? (i.e. after x minutes, it stops logging data, etc.) And, is this changeable?
Since you require desktop-login with your desktop clients, it would be great if instead of typing in my username and password, you supported OAuth so I could simply click and link, get a token, and then not worry about logging in every time I restart.
I love that I can see how much time I've spent on specific websites, but it would be nice to be able to 'collapse' all the sites down to a specific browser application (I use different browsers for different purposes, so know which browser is important). Is there a way to do this?
When I open the Mac Client, it keeps having AppleScript errors when I click on its icon in the dock and sometimes almost all the entries in the menu are grayed. Here are some images since I'm not clear.
I just signed up yesterday and installed RescueTime on my MacBook Pro. It was late in the day, and it completed 1 update before I shut down. This morning I installed the data collector in my XP VMWare Fusion install as well. I now get Timed Out errors in both OSes.
It worked on the Mac side yesterday, but doesn't work on either OS this morning. Is there a server issue? Or is it my computer?
How do I fully uninstall RescueTime from my Mac? I just downloaded it to take a look at it and decided it isn't what I need. I want to make sure that I uninstall it correctly. Thank you!
I'm using Mac OS 10.4.11. I downloaded RescueTime, installed it, and it was working fine. Then I saw a preference that said "Hide Dock Item," which I clicked, relaunched the application, and now I can't access it. I have a RescueTime menu item on my menu bar, but I can't click it (as I could when I had a dock icon). RescueTime doesn't show up in my application list or my force-quit list. Besides the menu icon (that I can't click), I'd have no way of knowing the program was even open.
Help! How do I undo this, or at least get the menu icon to work?
I use OmniWeb almost exclusively for my day-to-day browsing, and would really like to see support for it added to the mac data collector.
Here's the basic code needed to get the url of the current tab from OmniWeb:
tell application "OmniWeb"
set currentWorkspace to active workspace
set currentBrowser to browser 1 of currentWorkspace
set currentURL to address of currentBrowser
end tell
If you want people to use this, you need to make sure it's as unobtrusive as possible, and that means DON'T take up 50+% of their CPU. It's rather ridiculous, I can't imagine it needs to do this much... every few seconds poll for the current application and/or website.
Granted my computer is already pretty slow (1.33GHz) but that's all the more reason it shouldn't be a CPU hog.
I'd really like to use RescueTime, but there's NO way I can use it in it's current state.
The Mac data collector seems to not collect any data at all from my system. Log files are being created, and even uploaded, but they all contain no activity. I assure you I'm using my computer, as I've been actively coding and testing a new feature for Get Satisfaction since launching RescueTime.
I have noticed that RescueTime is taking an increasingly large amount of time to startup when I boot up my machine. I'm almost to the point where I'm about to uninstall it. Has anyone else noticed this?
Helo
i left my computer on even when im sleeping or on the university, and i want to know how i make rescuetime not register the hours that im not using it
