06/25/2019, 8:12 AMIs there any place where we can get most commonly used tools/apps on laptop by developers/ designers ? I am trying to figure out a simple way to track the app usage on my laptop using a script but the application process names and Title could vary at times. So wanted to know if someone could help me on that. Like
Slack
Skype
Visual Studio Code
Atom
Sketch
Figma etc

06/25/2019, 9:06 AMYeah. I have been a RescueTime premium user since 2016. Also use Toggl for client billing. But RescueTime is more for personal use and I quickly look at the email reports at the end of the week.
To be honest, have been on their website only maybe 2 - 3 times since 2016 😕

Personally, I feel the $72 per year is not bad for the functionality that it provides.

06/25/2019, 9:10 AMTrue, but the adoption is needed for indie makers and pricing is a big factor for us.
