Launch HN: RescueTime (YC W08) – Redesigned for wellness, balance, remote work

Qbserve Focus Amna
  1. Freelance time tracking, invoicing, and productivity improvement
    Pricing:
    • Paid
    • Free Trial
    • $29.0 / One-off
    I tried out RescueTime in the past (~2010 or so) but I was never comfortable sending this data to a remote server. I since found Qbserve[0] which is a similar product, but it keeps all your data local. If I find myself distracted on any given day, then I turn on focus.app [1] to kill those distractions. It's not as elegant of a solution as what RescueTime offers, but all my data stays on my machine which is worth the trade off to me. [0]: https://qotoqot.com/qbserve/ [1]: https://heyfocus.com/.

    Like a remote control for your everyday workflows. Take back your life from computer overload
    Shameless plug, but maybe you can try Amna[0] which has local first time tracking and provides a focus bar that creates a cohesive deep work experience. [0] https://getamna.com.
