Rize – Maximize Your Productivity

Rize is an AI-powered time tracker designed to enhance focus and foster better work habits. It automatically analyzes your activity to provide real-time guidance on when to focus, take breaks, and how you’re spending your time.

  1. Install the macOS or Windows desktop app.
  2. Rize automatically captures time spent on your focused window and, for websites, requests the current URL to help categorize activity.
