Rize

Rize is an AI-powered time tracker for macOS and Windows designed to help you improve focus and build healthier work habits. Instead of relying on manual timers, Rize automatically records the time you spend on your computer based on the active (focused) desktop window, then turns that activity into clear daily and weekly reports. You can organize your work with customizable categories, making it easier to see where your attention goes and how your days are really structured.

Beyond tracking, Rize acts like a lightweight productivity coach. Its AI analyzes your patterns and provides real-time guidance, including break notifications when you’ve been working too long and overworking alerts when your day is starting to run away from you. With Google Calendar or Outlook Calendar integration, Rize can also account for meetings, giving you a more complete picture of your time across deep work, communication, and admin tasks.

To support focused sessions, Rize includes tools like focus time detection, optional distraction blocking, and built-in focus music. The goal is not just to measure productivity, but to make it easier to protect attention, recover with timely breaks, and steadily improve performance over time.

Whether you’re an individual trying to stay consistent, a freelancer tracking effort across clients, or a team member trying to understand meeting load and work patterns, Rize provides practical insights you can act on—without the overhead of manual tracking.
