RescueTime for Chrome and Chrome OS

RescueTime for Chrome and Chrome OS is a browser enhancer that can be installed and used as an automatic tracker of your online navigation. It can be added to your browser or, as suggested by its name, it can be used to track your activity in Google's Chrome OS, which is a lightweight operating system for devices with less computing power and intended for web-based applications use only.

The RescueTime Chrome extension is smart. Just like for the other variations of the same service (it is a cross-platform utility), the tracking is done automatically. That means you will forget it exists while it records and analyzes your activity and browsing patterns, and stores all data in a super-organized manner, inside your personal dashboard.

No more gaps between actual work and idle time. No more forgetting to start your tracker or manual activity tagging. The Chrome extension will automatically record your browser history, as you start navigating the web, and it will allocate each task to its group (categories that have easy-to-follow names such as 'Reference & Learning,' 'Communication & Scheduling,' 'Entertainment,' etc). Moreover, the plug-in identifies your idle time and subtracts it from the total recorded time.

Yes, there are a lot of time recording solutions out there. There are even more suggestions, solutions, and options to gain control over your time, to become more efficient and productive. However, despite these, it is still quite challenging to find something that can actually work for you. RescueTime creates awesome reports by itself. Once installed in your browser, it starts tracking time and generates insightful stats and graphs based on relatable and well-defined criteria.

The insights you will receive are super valuable and true eye-openers. For maximum accuracy and an extra verification step, you can install the desktop app, a tool that is always in the background and tracks your machine's usage. This can be correlated with the use of the browser extension. All information goes into one place — your online account that has representative diagrams, reports, events tagging, and many other features.

RescueTime for Chrome and Chrome OS is a small-sized plug-in that tracks activity with great accuracy, does real-time productivity calculations, and is super friendly with your machine's resource consumption, meaning it has an almost non-existing impact on your system's blueprint.
