Interesting. Could Outlook & Word be #1 & #2 due to the fact that people open it at the start of the day and close it at the end of the day? So, they might not use it all day but since it's open all day, it shows up as #1 & #2?

Any comments from the Rescue Time folks?



I think Rescue Time only counts something when an app has focus.


Even more so, I think it only counts if there is activity in the window (ie kb/mouse)


I use RescueTime only on work (Windows) and do not use it at home (linux), so my stats look similar despite the fact that i spend ~40% of my time on linux applications.


People use outlook all day. It's the number 1 work email client by far. Same goes for word, given a job type.
