Rize

Automatic time tracking: Captures time across apps and websites in the background, with no timers or manual entry, and uses AI to categorize and tag it.
Client and project time: Sorts tracked time by client and project for billable hours, timesheets and invoices. Client and scheduled reports in PDF or CSV start on Pro.
Focus tools: Focus detection, distraction blocking, focus music and break reminders sit alongside the tracker, with AI insights on productivity and focus.
Rize Agent and AI reports: Ask questions about your time, projects and clients in chat, and run reports on demand or on a schedule. Each plan includes a monthly AI credit allowance.
Team visibility and profitability: Team plans give managers dashboards by client and project. Profitability views show revenue, cost and margin by client, project and member.

Session

Pomodoro sessions: Work in 25-minute sessions separated by breaks. Setting your own session and break lengths needs Pro.

App and website blocking on Mac: Pro blocks the apps and websites you choose while a session runs. Website blocking works in Safari, Chrome, Brave and Microsoft Edge.
Calendar events: Every plan shows your calendar events inside Session. Pro can also create an Apple Calendar event automatically when a session finishes.
Slack status: Pro updates your Slack status when the timer starts and restores it when the timer ends.
Device sync and automation: Pro syncs in real time, so a session started on a Mac can be ended on iOS, and adds automation through AppleScript on macOS and Apple Shortcuts on iOS.
