Desktop Task Timer vs RescueTime

There is a cheaper light version available for those that don't need the full functionality of the app or would like to try it out without spending the more money on the more expensive version.

Users can export CSV files from the app to use for billing, etc. Though this does require the non light version.

Due to the app having no cloud sync there is no need to have an internet connection for the app to run. Everything it does is local to the device.

While not necessarily the easiest of options (really more a work around to the apps limited functionality) users can sync the apps files to a shared folder or cloud storage folder in order to have sync'd time across Mac's.

Users and team leaders can get weekly emails that summarize what everyone has been spending their time doing.

Starting out with RescueTime is as easy as making an account and installing the software. It really is pretty simple and does not take much time at all.

Users can customize what constitutes productive time and not, this allows for good flexibility depending on what ones job requirements are.

The app allows setting goals and helps keep track of progress towards them in the dashboard and weekly email to motivate you.

Reports show how you allocate your time between various apps, websites and categories of tools as well as tell you how productive you were and if you've achieved set goals.
