   I love this approach. It feels far more like brand and messaging tuning and less like search engine algorithm hacking.

   Amazing work by a colleague of mine. Incredibly useful to have a metric and formula for how to decide when to apply AI agent technology.

    Thanks! We decided we’d give existing users the choice to upgrade because it’s quite different. If you want to migrate your account, you can do it from here: https://www.rescuetime.com/new_rescuetime

    Oh wow that’s a super good idea.

    It’s a webview that runs a super small HTML page with vanilla Javascript. (No electron!) We looked and it’s not noticeably larger of a runtime footprint as the old version.

    Thanks for sticking with us! We've just hired someone to help with our Windows app who loves linux, so look for improvements to both of those in the future. Right now we're very focused on new features for our new version. Which y

    Sorry about that - pricing is $12/month or $78 if paid annually. We're going to add it back to the site - it was on the old version of the account create page before we added the new survey and we legit didn't think about it.

    Thanks for your comment - really glad to have you over the years! I will say that lots of what you’re describing doesn’t exist in a form you’re used to in the new version, so you might not want to switch just yet. The good news is it’s a ma

    Cool! Thanks for being a happy customer! And sure - (copying from a different response below) you can see all of the data that we track by looking at the diagnostics window in the app: https://help.rescuetime.com/article&#x2

    I’m not entirely certain that’s true. Companies that are that restrictive are really judicious about costs and how much they’re willing to pay.

    You’re describing my own situation, exactly. The years when I wasn’t at RescueTime I ran into problems like this and part of the reason why I wanted to help redesign the app was because it just wasn’t helping me out with these problems. Tha

    Not yet - iOS is really locked down. We’re hoping to get something working at some point. Really need better access to Screen Time APIs though.

    They’re still there, we just haven’t finished redesigning that page for the new version. For now, you can go here: https://www.rescuetime.com/anapi/setup/overview

    Thanks for this. Yeah, it’s definitely entirely different. The transition is going to be tricky at first for folks used to the old version but so far it seems to be making sense to new people. Thanks for those notes. iCal is something we ca

    Potentially, although not necessarily. There are many many years of quantified-selfers signing up to track all of their data.

    Actually yes! We are working on iterating on Focus Sessions and blocking (especially communications apps) right now.

    It's true and it often depends on things like company size (2 hours or less for large companies, 3-4 hours for small startups) and role (managers are lucky to hit 2 and ICs can usually get to 3 when they're not in meetings all day

    Oh cool! Don't worry - we don't have any plans to change the API right now (other than potentially adding to it in the future).

    Thanks so much! I hope you like this new version. Much more about building good habits and less about having something telling you over and over how much time you’re spending on Hacker News. :D
