For some of the readers who have no idea what RescueTime is, it is basically a time management tool that tracks down your computer activity and how long you spend on it.

For example I am watching a movie on my PC while RescueTime is on. It will log that I am using a media player and the amount of time I am using it.

It has become a topic sometime since Rescuetime has been a deal breaker for most Online Workers when their prospective clients require them to use Rescuetime. Some consider it as a breach of privacy, since it also logs your browser's history and how long you spend on that particular page.

Let me tell you what I thought. If a person hires you and pay you to do certain tasks for a specific period of time, that person (your client or boss) has the right to know your activity, especially when you are paid hourly. Isn't it?

If you have no modus operandi going on, you have nothing to hide, right? I personally use rescueTime for myself t track down my productivity for the day.

How about you? What time-management tool do you use? Do you thing using one is violates one's privacy?
