But privacy issues stopped me from using RescueTime. Not only me but others too.... There are other competitors (clones) like JournalLive, TimeCamp who also suffer from the same problem... why should I want to share my computer usage information with a 3rd party... no way Actually I think it is a nice little idea that will help you to gather information about yourself – get to know your computer usage habits.
