Where Does RescueTime Store Time Logs?
RescueTime logs app and website time in your account with goals and alerts on top. Install the tracker per device; dashboards merge everything.
Last updated
RescueTime records computer time in the account cloud. Per-device trackers log active apps and websites, merging into unified daily timelines with productivity scoring. Goals and FocusTime blocks layer on top.
That makes the dashboard the archive: new devices contribute forward without migrating history. Offline hours upload on reconnect. Exact behaviors may vary by version; browser extensions extend tracking to Chromebooks. FocusTime blocks distracting sites on schedule. Offline meetings log manually to complete days.

Frequently asked questions
How do I add a new computer?
Install the tracker on the new machine and sign in; history stays server-side. Goals, alerts, and FocusTime schedules follow the account. Untracked gaps stay gaps, so install promptly.
Where are my time reports?
Open the dashboard reports for daily breakdowns by app and site with productivity scores. Weekly emails summarize trends without opening the app. Export CSV for custom analysis in spreadsheets.
