User Reviews

Users appreciate RescueTime's multiplatform support and its capability to monitor time spent on websites effectively. However, many Firefox users report significant issues such as the add-on icon not appearing, login not persisting, and persistent error notifications. The FocusTime feature also fails on certain Linux distributions, and app stability problems are noted in recent Linux updates. Additionally, some users must disable ad blockers or antivirus software to use the extension properly on Firefox.

Is RescueTime Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

RescueTime requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
