Rize

No. Rize never captures screenshots, records screen content, or logs keystrokes. It only reads window metadata — app name, window title, and URL — to categorize your time. Your screen content stays completely private.

No. Employees control what time data is shared with their team. Only entries you explicitly tag to a team project or client are visible to your admin. Personal browsing and non-work activity is never shared.

Rize is a desktop app for macOS and Windows — desktop-focused by design. Most knowledge work happens on a computer, and tracking desktop activity directly is what allows Rize to automatically categorize your time with high accuracy. A mobile or browser-only tracker cannot capture the same level of work context.

Surveillance tools monitor employees with screenshots, keylogging, and webcam access. Rize does none of that. Rize is a productivity tool that individuals and teams choose to use — employees control their own data, review their entries before sharing, and can edit or delete any tracked time.

Rize is built for agencies that bill clients by the hour. It runs in the background and automatically captures time across design tools, project management apps, and communication platforms — no timers to start or stop. Your team gets accurate billable hours without changing how they work.

Rize automatically tracks time spent in accounting software, client files, email, and tax prep tools. Partners and associates see their billable hours categorized by client without manual entry. During busy season, managers can monitor workload distribution across the team in real time.

Yes. Rize captures time spent on research, document drafting, and client communication by matter — automatically. Attorneys no longer need to reconstruct timesheets at the end of the day. The resulting records are detailed and compliance-ready for client audits.

Toggl requires your team to manually start and stop timers. Rize tracks time automatically in the background — no timers, no browser extensions, no behavior change. For agencies, this means higher timesheet compliance, more accurate billable hours, and less admin overhead.

Automatic time tracking uses a lightweight desktop app to detect which application, browser tab, or document is in the foreground and for how long. AI time tracking adds a categorization layer — Rize uses machine learning to assign each work session to the correct client or project based on window titles, URLs, and learned patterns. The result is a complete timesheet with zero manual input.

Team time visibility software shows managers where team hours go across projects, clients, and work categories in real time. Rize does this with automatic background tracking, so the data reflects actual work instead of timer compliance. Managers see utilization rates, billable vs non-billable splits, and per-client profitability without employees manually logging anything.

Rize integrates with project management tools like Jira, Asana, Linear, ClickUp, Monday.com, and Notion — automatically mapping tracked time to tasks and projects. It also connects with Google Calendar to tie meetings to clients, and exports billable data for QuickBooks and other invoicing tools. The MCP server lets AI assistants query your time data directly.
