Founded in 2008, RescueTime is a product that helps track, understand, and manage time while on a computer or smartphone. Using this service, users can log their time, change to a focus mode that prevents accessing distracting websites, and create time sheets to show how much time was spent on a project.

This tool can be installed on multiple devices, which helps give an even better understanding of your overall time usage since most people utilize various devices throughout their workday. The RescueTime Dashboard lets you chart out your day, month, or year to understand how your time is spent. It can also be customized to define how each activity is logged. For example, by default, while on YouTube, the tool records this activity as entertainment. However, if you work on creating YouTube content, this activity can be changed to business or another type.

The service has a 14-day free trial with monthly plans starting at $6.50.
