Hey everyone ![]()
I’ve been using rescuetime for a while and it’s been super helpful, but recently I noticed something odd with how it tracks certain desktop apps — especially creative/editing tools.
For example, when I’m working on video edits, the time either shows up as “Uncategorized” or sometimes doesn’t log properly at all, even though the app is clearly open and active.
One example is when I’m using capcut pc, I’m spending a good chunk of time editing, but rescuetime either logs it inconsistently or groups it into something unrelated.
A few related things I’m wondering:
Is this an issue with how rescuetime detects newer apps or Electron-based apps?
Does this happen more often with apps that update frequently?
Is there a way to manually force rescuetime to recognize an app correctly?
Do you guys classify these tools under “Design & Composition” or something else?
I’m not trying to blame rescuetime, I’m just trying to understand if this is normal behavior or if there’s a fix/workaround others are using.
Would love to hear if anyone else has run into this and how you solved it ![]()
