#1 Product of the Day
“Rize allows my team to get deep into work and go where their creativity leads them without really having to think about time tracking.”
CEO, Momentum Studio
THE PROBLEM
Your team can't scale on bad time data
01
Manual tracking is late, incomplete, or never happens
Timesheets add hours of admin work and come in inaccurate — if they come in at all. Your team spends more time logging than doing billable work.
02
You can't measure profitability or utilization
Without trusted time data, client ROI is a guess. Scope creep goes unnoticed. Projects bleed budget before anyone catches it.
03
Existing tools rely on discipline or surveillance
Timer-based tools need constant buy-in. Screenshot tools erode trust. Neither leads to lasting adoption or accurate data across your team.

Frequently asked questions
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. See how agencies use Rize →

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.

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.
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.
