Is there going to be support for Linux in the future?

Is that in relation to the new app/UI? I use RescueTime for tracking applications and websites on Ubuntu, and it works pretty well.
Yes, it’s for the new app. The latest release for Linux seems to be from 2020.

Yes, we do have plans to offer Linux support in the future. As we are a small team this will take some time.

It’s mentioned here: What operating systems are compatible with RescueTime? - RescueTimeX
Currently Linux is not compatible with RescueTime, however we are working to open this up in the near future.
It would be nice to know if this is actually being worked on, though! Also it’s a bit funny to me that it says “Linux is not compatible with RescueTime” rather than “RescueTime is not compatible with Linux” but anyway 
Good catch @scott! Doc updated. Appreciate it!
We did start the research for Linux, however our priorities have shifted to more pressing stuff.
We’ll get back on the horse hopefully sooner rather than later.

+1 for Linux support.
Anyone know how to setup rescuetime as linux service?
It works perfectly fine, but only as an app.
I can sometimes forget to run application.
I have tried by setting systemctl service, but it failed and showed that as a reason:
Mar 05 14:15:44 danzosystems rescuetime[9761]: qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.
Mar 05 14:15:44 danzosystems rescuetime[9761]: This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
the app works perfectly fine, when I will run it as normal appl
I use arch, and KDE BTW.
