No monthly payments, student discount, great customer support and product updates. > > **Cons**: No mobil app, lack of focus mode. Need some updates on statistical views. > > I use QBserve to track my productivity on a daily basis. It has a clean UI and easy to use. I'm not using but there are some extra features such as project tracking. When I noticed student discount and asked for it, QBserve team even did not ask my student ID card. That was a fantastic reply for me. QBserve deserves more than it takes. And finally, it's a transparent product about privacy. Keep it in mind. ----- ### "The single-most insightful productivity app" — 5.0/5 > **Pierre-Louis** | *16 May 2017* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I glance at my status bar, a percentage telling indicates how productive I've been today. 15%...not good. I click on the percentage, and an overview window pops up with 3 columns detailing the amount of time I've done productive, neutral, and distracting activities, each broken down by percentage of app use time. Looks like 14% ("39 minutes" when I hover) of the 3h29 of distracting time today was spent on Twitter. My productive time has mostly been spent working on a Google Doc (the app distinguishes websites when you use a browser). Also on this overview page, a pie chart breakdown which also lets me know I was 7% more productive than yesterday. Finally, spanning the bottom third is an absolute stacked chart broken down by hour, and I see that I was most productive in the 10am hour. At the very bottom, I can go back or forward a day, and pause time tracking for a few minutes. That's just the overview tab, and I'm already well aware of what my time has been spent on. I can stop here or get more insights on a Details tab this is where I'll categorize "uncategorized activities" by type and productivity, of which there aren't that many because of the crowd-sourcing of categories. Lastly, the timesheet tab allows me to get a minute by minute breakdown of what I was doing at the time. With only three tabs in a window that takes about a quarter of my screen, I have complete understanding of the time I've spent today on my computer. It's infinitely valuable. > > **Cons**: The software can feel very slightly unwieldy when you first pick it up due to the amount of functionality and information at your fingertips. However, the developer has done a good job of hiding advanced functionality in a separate tab. After a few weeks I felt very comfortable using it, and knowing where to look for the information most relevant to me at the time pertinent: percentages vs absolute values, stacked bar chart vs pie chart, hour-by-hour breakdown, etc. > > Great insights into how I spend my time on the computer (majority of my day). I learned when I was most productive and which bad habits to cut down on. ----- ### "The best time tracking app I could find, great customer support." — 4.0/5 > **Rory** | *22 May 2017* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Great that there was a one off payment not a subscription like a lot of other time trackers. Really nice UI too, nice use of graphics where other apps are very spreadsheet like. It gets the basic job of time tracking done completely hands off, but you can add more complexity if you want too. > > **Cons**: The only thing missing for me was a way to log idle time, e.g when you are away from your computer in a meeting. Hopefully this will come in an update. ----- ### "I use Qbserve to help me stay highly productive when I'm working remotely" — 5.0/5 > **Daryl** | *16 May 2017* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Qbserve works. I often set goals like "today I want to get 6hrs of work done" and Qbserve's precise activity monitoring lets me be sure I'm staying on track. Qbserve makes it possible to accurately measure my productivity. The ability to detail which tools and websites I consider productive gives me high confidence that I'm hitting my goals. Qbserve is also very flexible. Sometimes my goals are "today is only for working and I want to be at 90% productivity regardless of how long I work" or "today I need to put 4hrs of work in but it doesn't matter if they're intersperse with breaks". I've come to depend on Qbserve. It is the first time tracking tool that actually works for me. Tomato timers, daily planners, dedicated "work only" areas -- none of these work for me. I used to constantly worry if I put in enough effort on a given day. With Qbserve I don't need to worry because I can trust its precise measurements and reminders. I'm a software engineer so often its hard for me to measure productivity on work items, and I used to constantly worry if I was getting enough done. Instead, I rely on putting enough hours in per day or week to measure my productivity. > > **Cons**: The name. It's hard to say out loud. "Que-b-serve"? It's hard to tell people about because I have to spell it out in order for them to google it correctly. It's like "observe but the O is a Q" is the best I can do but they don't remember. Single platform. I work across macOS, Linux, and Windows. I really really really wish I had a unified way of tracking time. Stitching together data from several tools is painful. And I have yet to find a tool that works as well as Qbserve. > > I've drastically increased my productivity while simultaneously removing any worry that I wasn't getting enough done. With Qbserve I have accurate measurements that keep me on track. ----- ### "Best productivity tracker I have ever seen" — 5.0/5 > **Gediminas** | *20 May 2017* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have used over 10 various tools to track my productivity and activities on my Mac. Everyone of them had some issues. Some tracked activity really badly, some had too much additional functions and etc. And then I have found Qbserve\! I was amazed by the nice User Interface and aesthetic look and feel of the App. It looks like someone did really good job to find the most needed functions and made them in the highest quality. Once app starts, you don't need any more actions to make it work - it just starts tracking activity and gives labels for each task: "distracting", "neutral", "productive". It goes very accurately. This was just what I needed and I didn't found this function working good enough on other apps. Now I'm using it for 6 months and I have no problems with it. This App is one of the best I have ever had on my Mac from any category. > > Qbserve brings me clarity on hours I have spend on my Mac. I see how many hours I have worked on design, web development and how many I was distracted. I found no other tools to see this good enough. It is very valuable for me, because now I know how many hours I'm productive in the day, how many distracted. I can see all previous days of the week and the month - it helps me to find reasons why I was not productive on some days or remember what made me very productive\! So it brings a lot of value when I need a realistic estimate on time I will spend on the new project. It is very useful for me and for my clients, because I can calculate more accurately how much project will cost and how long it will take to make it. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/153002/qbserve?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/153002/qbserve) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
