RescueTime vs Qbserve

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.

It's possible to generate PDFs with invoices based on tracked project time or create ones from scratch.

Qbserve categorizes project time automatically based on opened documents and web pages.

The dock icon will change color depending on what you are currently doing, acting as a reminder to get back to work when you've become distracted. You can also set goals, and in the status bar you will see a percentage of how close you are to your daily goal.

There are over 7500 apps/sites/games in the database which provides lots of data for more accurate tracking.

Qbserve can determine the difference between productive and distractive activities. It doesn't use a static algorithm either - it will read content page-by-page to determine whether or not it is productive or not. this allows certain chats to count as work, and other chats to not count, even if you are using the same chat service for both.
