There's a way to start and pause the timer automatically? Or even a reminder would help as well. I'm pretty bad to manage pauses in this way shown

@renatobenks Hey Renato, we have a setting that allows you to set a time of the day when tracking should start automatically and when it should stop. If you go to Settings > General > Tracking Hours, you can set it there.

I've been following this tool because of it's slick UI/UX. Time tracking its something that most business need and this seems to be a great option. I have seen than Windows is coming before perfecting MacOS so that's great news!

@josecar thanks Josecar, we do have a build of Windows in development but there’s still a lot to do to get it working correctly. I appreciate your patience.

Very interesting tool. With so many tasks, medias and distractions nowadays, it is impossible without a good tool to understand how much time you’ve been spending and where!
Macgill Davis
@mirelafioresy 100 percent agree!

?makers I never thought I'd be asking to join somebody's new release mailing list, but... I'm excited to try this when it comes out on Windows. Is there a way for me to join a list to get notified when that happens?
Macgill Davis
@elnombre88 Yes! If you head to https://rize.io and click on "Download the App" on a Windows machine, you'll be prompted to join the Windows waitlist. We'll be sending out updates there. We'll also be giving updates on Twitter: https://twitter.com/rize_io

That actually makes a lot of sense. Great to have an app that can help build healthy habits on top of tracking where your time is spent. Thanks for creating this!
Macgill Davis
Thanks so much! We really want Rize to help build healthier and more productive work habits. We think of Rize as a "fitness app but for you work"

I’ve been using Rize for over 6 months as I was part of the alpha. It’s been amazing to watch the app grow and mature into a core part of my core productivity stack. I really can't recommend the product highly enough. I’ve always been a big proponent of time tracking and was a paying customer of RescueTime for many years. While Rize and RescueTime automatically track and categorize my time, Rize is much more visually beautiful (dark mode aesthetic) and easy to use. With Rize I can easily recategorize apps and websites as well as create my own custom categories. I also love Rize’s break timer and have been using it to implement Pomodoro technique. The daily email reports are really nice too. Overall, highly recommend Rize! Excited to see where this product goes!

@james_hamilton4 Thank you for support and amazing feedback while using Rize! We've got a lot more planned that I'm excited to share with you.

Looks like a well-thought and well-built product. How does it know exactly when you're taking a break/not focusing enough, if for instance you're reading omething long or analyzing something and need like 10 mins to look at one graph/one picture, etc? I'm afraid some days I'd see myself not working hard enough, haha
Macgill Davis
@rubenwolff Rize detects a break in two ways: when you manually start a break using the break timer or when you step away from your computer for more than 5 minutes. Rize detects focus by sorting different apps and websites into different categories of which some are tagged as focus categories (code, documenting, etc.) and some as non-focus categories (email, messaging, social media, personal). Those categories come with defaults but are completely customizable too. If you spend a certain amount of time in focus categories, Rize will count that time as focus. Rize will also list the apps and websites that are most interrupting to your focus time so you can see what's distracting you. Somedays I do see in Rize that I'm not focused enough or that I'm distracted but that's okay. We built Rize for you, the individual, around the concept that you can't improve what you don't measure. Before Rize, I often had days where I felt distracted or unproductive but had no insights into why. That doesn't happen anymore. The other thing I'll add is that most of the time with Rize I feel like I was unproductive but then I look at my Rize dashboard and realized I got a lot done! It's funny how much we forget we accomplished even in a single day.
