Been using this for 4+ years. Also paid for it in the past. One of the best apps to use on Mac! Thanks for building and finally nice to see here on PH.

This seems interesting & super easy to use, just downloaded. Congrats on the launch @robby1066 My only feedback: "allow this app to control your Mac" step might scare a few people so maybe on the screen that precede you can specify a bit in detail what exactly you'll control. I know you have no mean intention or violate privacy, just a suggestion.
Robby Macdonell
@meseali Good suggestion, and something we've seen people ask questions about. The next version of the installer has some more explicit messaging around what we actually do there.

I know this is about mobile app. I was wondering your Mac app does have an option to follow 20 20 20 rule? https://www.google.co.in/search?...

@nooruzzonline Not something we've specifically considered, but it might be doable with some of the upcoming features we're rolling out. I'll make sure it's on our radar!

Been a paying customer for the last 8 years, great product. One of the few apps that I'm more than willing to pay for.

Pros:

Holistic view across multiple platforms/devices

Cons:

Would love to have as much parity as possible between apps - i.e. location usage on Android like it exists in the new iOS app

I feel this is just late at this point. I apprciate it but as a long time user I’m rather disappointed. Both iOS and Android have built in solutions now

Pros:

Nice to have the reports on the go

Cons:

It cannot actually track app usage on iOS devices and the app description is not clarifying this properly.

Hey everyone! Like most people, I couldn’t imagine a life without my phone. It helps me stay connected with loved ones, look up recipes for dinner, watch funny puppy videos, and not get lost. But, like most people as well, I sometimes feel like my phone is taking over my life. In fact, when we looked at data from current RescueTime users, we found that most people spend more than 3 hours on their phone and can’t go 3 minutes without checking them! Personally, I spend about 15 hours per week looking at my phone, which shocked me when I saw the data. That’s why we spent the last few years updating and creating a new RescueTime Mobile experience. Not only do the new apps help you see how you’re using your phone and set custom goals, but they also give you rich insights into how your phone use impacts the rest of your day and your attention, focus, and productivity. Let us know what you think and if you have any questions!

This felt like Christmas, for a second, but then I realized that Apple still won't allow you guys to track app-level usage. BUMMER... Have you guys considered OCR on screenshots of the new Screentime app? I REALLY want all the data in one place...
Robby Macdonell
@entreprenewer We've talked about it, but it seems like such a brittle solution that we haven't really explored it too far. I agree with you, though. It *really* sucks to have iOS be the one place we can't get the app-level stats!

Finally!

Looking forward to being able to check my time with the new IOS app. I'm super excited that I will be able to get an update of how I'm doing with my goals no matter where I am.

Pros:

Love the interface and the ability to track my mobile usage while viewing my location.

Cons:

Don't have any yet

Great for those who love analytics so help identify distracting and non productive utilisation of nice. Simple to read and modify.

Pros:

Integrates nicely to gyroscope and its desktop

Cons:

Makes me feel more productive than I
