About Rize

Rize tracks your workday automatically by recording which apps and websites you use, then uses AI to categorise activity and suggest which client or project it belongs to. It shows focus time, context switching and meetings, nudges you to take breaks, offers focus sessions and lets you chat with an AI about how you spent your week. Plans for professionals add client and project tracking, billable reports and timesheets, while team plans cover agencies, accounting and law firms that bill hourly, with per-seat pricing. Individual plans are subscriptions that include monthly AI credits, and there is a free trial with no card required but no ongoing free plan. It runs on macOS and Windows. As with any background tracker, it's worth checking which data leaves your machine. It suits freelancers and small firms who want accurate timesheets without starting timers.

Best for: Freelancers and small firms who want AI-drafted timesheets from automatic tracking.
