RescueTime started when a few friends found themselves asking the same question at the end of every day: Where the h$^% does the time go?
After putting in a long, hard day’s work, we were left wishing we had an extra hour (or two!) We couldn’t figure out where our time was going, so we built a tool that would tell us.
What we discovered was that we were working hard, but not smart. Instead of long stretches of focused time, our days were spent bouncing between apps, websites, and tools without making any real progress on our goals.
It doesn’t matter how long you spend working if your attention and focus are gone. With RescueTime, we created a tool to help you take back control of your time so you can spend it on what matters most to you.
The modern workplace is making us more stressed, less productive, and vulnerable to burnout.
We want to change that.
What we believe in:
Quality beats quantity. You don’t have to work more to get more done.
Life is better when you can make data-informed decisions.
You weren’t meant to spend all day bouncing between tasks, apps, and sites.
Technology isn’t evil. But we have to be mindful of how we use it.
As a company that deals with your data, trust is more valuable than rapid growth.
We’re a small group of developers, product people, and deep thinkers dedicated to helping you find focus, be more productive, and feel in control of your day.
