We eat dinner with those guys once a week and have batted around ideas with 'em. Ultimately, I think the difference between the apps is pretty clear if you try 'em both. I also think you'll see a much clearer differentiation between the two businesses in the coming months. Congrats to 8aWeek on the launch! We think 8aWeek is really cool (and recommend it).

Here's a feature suggestion perhaps for both startups: enforce ratios between my activities. let's say I should do 30 minutes of "work" for every five minutes of "fun" like visiting facebook. Rescuetime should aggressively enforce this 6:1 ratio, and I can earn back time to have "fun" by putting in more work. Of course the real answer here is amazing self-discipline. ;) I’ve used rescuetime just this week, and so far it’s pretty neat.

They actually fit together nicely. 8aweek is in browser and actually stops you from doing something you don't want to do. RescueTime just tells you when you've been erring. You can analyze and delve into your faults and successes in both. I love em both. I’ve been using 8aweek and RescueTime both for some time now.
