About RescueTime
RescueTime is publishing productivity essays, not shipping software.
RescueTime's feed for 2026 is an unbroken stream of well-written productivity essays — burnout, time blocking, hybrid work, distractions, freelancer-driven teams. There are no release notes, no feature announcements, no platform news. Cadence is roughly two posts a month, all aimed at the individual knowledge worker.
