RizeTranslation site

Rize is an automated time-tracking tool that runs on macOS and Windows, organizing work activities on your computer based on app names, window titles, and URLs. It is ideal for individuals analyzing their time allocation, as well as for agencies, accounting firms, and professional service teams that track billable hours by client or project.

Record automatically, then organize by task

Rize tracks activities in the background, assigns time to clients and projects, and allows users to review and edit these assignments. For those who frequently switch between design, development, email, and meetings, it reduces the burden of having to recall and log time spent on tasks from memory.

Individuals can view their focus time, activity distribution, and weekly changes; teams can compare actual time spent on clients and projects, budgets, and workloads. Automatic categorization may require correction, especially when a single application handles multiple client tasks simultaneously—project assignment cannot be determined based solely on the application name.

Calendars and Focused Work

In the "Calendars" section of Settings, you can connect Google Calendar or Outlook and choose which calendars to include in the timeline. This allows you to organize your meeting schedules alongside your computer activity.

The Focus feature allows you to create focus sessions, minimize distractions, and track your daily focus time and score. Users can configure which apps and websites are included in their focus tracking, ensuring that “time spent using a particular app” isn’t equated with actual productivity.

Team Visibility

Rize states that it does not take screenshots or record keystrokes. Users should first review their own activity logs; only the time tagged to a client or team project is included in the team’s shared scope. When configuring the tool for team use, ensure that members understand the recorded fields and sharing rules, and review the information before sharing.

Since Rize relies primarily on desktop activity, it does not fully account for thinking done away from the computer, phone calls, or other work, and is not suitable for evaluating individual contributions based solely on a productivity score.
