Maximize Your Productivity with A.I.

I have not purchased this software.

This is a rizing star in task mgmt

I've tried so many personal productivity trackers off AppSumo, and the irony is that Rize is the best one I've found.

I had been waiting for the Windows version of Rize for months, and it finally came out within a year. I'm so excited about this release because it's made me realize what a tremendous difference it can make in my productivity.

The user interface is smooth to use, and they regularly update with new features. The focus mode is my new Pomodoro timer—I love that I can save time by realizing which activities are distracting me and then re-focusing on those times instead!

I also can't believe how many details you've tracked about my web browsing habits or how many levels of detail there are in general—it's super helpful. I just wish there were more features to help me figure out what other things I should be tracking!

If you're like me and don't have a lot of time for things like tracking your time, then this app is definitely worth checking out!

The more time I spend with this app, the more amazed I am by its capabilities. I didn't think I'd leave a review because I'm just lazy, but then I figured since the app is still here, maybe it'll help someone still on the fence. Because you will regret it if you don't grab it. Especially when you're a huge procrastinator like me.

Great tracker, has got some good improvements since I got it.
For me, it replaced rescuetime, hoping it will be able to replace Toggl in the future.

It does have the option to track the time on a project by project basis so that could work for most cases.

I have been using rise for a few weeks and it is a life changer. I get more work done, I can. see when I drift.I take more breaks, Its like having a performance manager by your side.

Rize was a great purchase on Appsumo. Here are my thoughts.

1. The first post by founders, Will and Macgill is outdated now. I am using Rize on Windows, and it's great! I am looking forward to a Linux version, too.
2. I don't know how often Rize pushes out updates and new features, but it's awesome.
3. They just pushed out a new Sessions dashboard with a focus timer, much like pomodoros. You can break down your focus statistics per pomodoro, now.
4. They are VERY friendly, positive and responsive on the discord channel.
5. Like most of the products on sale here, it's early days for the company. Are there tracking solutions that have more features? Absolutely. Otoh, I really like where they are going and the pace at which they are working to get there.

I'm happy I purchased this LTD!

One of the hardest parts of tracking productivity and focus time is that most of the apps I've tried require you to do it manually.

That's the beauty and simplicity of Rize. It runs silently in the background, you can configure and customize it to fit your workflows and role, and it takes care of the tracking automatically.

Many days I forget it's even running until I see my Rize report in my inbox the next morning. The daily and weekly reports are really insightful.

There are days where I hop from my desktop computer (PC) to my laptop (Mac). Rize is installed on both, and the synchronization is flawless from one to the other.

I'm hoping they introduce an app so phone conversations and work done on the phone/tablet can be included automatically. But for now, it's easy enough to manually add that time and sessions into the timeline.

The Rize team is constantly making improvements and introducing new features. It's nice to feel like the software is well supported and is on a good development track. It seems like every week there's a new feature that adds value to the product.

I've gotten my fair share of software on Appsumo, and Rize is, hands down, my favorite so far. Highly recommend it for anyone that's a fan of tracking their productivity, deep work, single tasking, and focus time.

As an entrepreneur its important to understand where you're losing time and/or aren't focused. With Ryze you can actually see everything that's going during your day and make changes and adopt a better work behavior.

Love using it since early 2022.

I'm neurodivergent: autistic & ADHDer, BUT I have the added "feature" of having a high IQ.... meaning I'm FULLY aware of my "lack." Just because I know where my issues are, doesn't mean I always have the capacity to fix them on my own. Literally - I'm a certified life & biz coach - I can help others, but I can't freaking help myself. 🙄 I've tried that many freaking time mgmt strategies, but it wasn't until my diagnosis that I realised that it's a core hallmark trait of both of my disabilities, & how they sometimes work together for pure evil. 👿🤣 (ADHD hyperfocus & squirrel + ASD obsession = 0 exec function)

✅ Family life - I'm a mum to 3 teenagers. We have sooo much going on, with zero fam support - they're all overseas or interstate.
✅ Love my side hustle - not for the cash but because I love building websites. 😁
✅ Work life, I'm a corp marketing manager, so I have a BILLION things on the go.
✅ Friends - have lots, but when you are so busy, how to find the time?
❌ Balance? HA, what's that?
(As you can see, lots to work on. 😜 That's what therapy is for.)

I've been using RIZE now for about 3 weeks. It's helping me to do the following:

💥 see the path I take in my browsing where I get sucked into a rabbit hole of research and/or reading (I see you AppSumo!)
💥 have a concrete figure of how much FREAKING TIME I spend in Outlook (kill me now 💀)
💥 see the actual URLs in my browser where I'm spending my time on my own website (editing? reading? which pages/posts?)
💥 REMIND ME TO TAKE BREAKS... (eating, drinking, occasional trips to the bathroom are ideal bodily functions, but most days, I forget them... thanks hyper-focus, I think you're awesome... but my body disagrees.)
💥 tell me how much time I spend off my screen, thought sometimes isn't necessarily a break
💥 see areas where I need to improve my process so that I can potentially reduce distractions, & more accurately track my time

Things I wish/hope for in future RIZE updates:
(***note: I think all of these are related, but being married to a web dev, I realise some changes might not be related like *I* think they are)

💝 Editing of sessions to be a bit easier/less confusing. I still haven't fully mastered that, & as someone jumps all over the shop, I need a bit more flexibility to do that.
🧡 Ability to differentiate between off-screen time as a break, & off-screen time as productive time, without creating a session - like, just split it. (Ties into the one above I think.)
💛 Ability to add a session without a "type." Ex: add a session in "Email" because my new comp didn't auto-launch RIZE, & it only allowed me to add it as "Email" "Meeting" or "Email" "Focus".... which, it was neither, so I didn't add it.
💚 Examples of customisations or use-cases that other users are employing... It's too overwhelming to start, even though I know I need to customise it.
💙 Ability to edit the break reminder: bigger screen, change tone, louder, etc.

So far though, I'm loving it!

If you're a productivity nerd or you have procrastination or focus problems, then this is a great tool to help you analyze yourself and keep an eye on your time management. It will take a week or so to fine tune the categorizations, but it's an easy task and also makes you think more about each website and task and the importance of it.

The overall benefits are completely worth it to me personally No more excuses about not having enough time to do something -- you just need to manage your time better!
