Rize
What Rize is
Rize is paid software that tracks desktop work and organizes sessions by client, project, and category for billing and productivity reporting. It includes focus metrics, daily scores, personalized insights, focus music, and smart breaks. Team dashboards show utilization, billable and non-billable time, and margin by client and project. Rize provides macOS and Windows desktop applications, a web dashboard for reports and team settings, and a Chrome extension for browser activity. Listed integrations include Linear, ClickUp, Asana, Slack, Google Calendar, Outlook, and Zapier. Pro adds MCP server access, an API, webhooks, and Zapier; Rize says agents can query and act on time data. By default, it reads active-window metadata without logging keystrokes or storing screenshot images, while optional Screen Text is deleted within 30 days. Data is encrypted at rest on Google Cloud and hosted in US regions. Plans start at $9.99 per user per month billed annually, with a 7-day trial and no free plan.
