It's doing what it should - track your productive and unproductive time. But to use such a tool, you have to make a good set-up for yourself. This tool could amplify your productivity, but it probably won't make you productive if you're not already. Cons It doesn't provide a version for linux systems.

I loved the statistics it gave me about time spent on distracting websites and social media. Over the time I was trying my best to minimize this time and it offered me a quick solution of blocking everything that might be distracting. Pros Productivity tips, they have really helped me. Cons I use Youtube a lot for watching programming tutorials, but I often fall into the trap of randomly buzzing all around the website, and by blocking Youtube I couldn't​ do much.

AU Anonymous User Freelance Full-Stack Web Development Engineer Computer Software ### "Best app to keep track of where your productivity is going!" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 September 13, 2018 This software is totally unobstrusive, intuitive to use and can give you insights on how you spend your time - not just a productivity score, which other alternatives might give you. It enables more powerful habit changes and analysis and it is worth it just for that! Pros The real killer here is the timeline view where you can see at a glance how productive you've been for each 5-minute interval of the day, while also being capable of seeing why you got that score, drilling down app use. This is a great way to get an overview of your day but with enough detail for it to be useful. Cons The app allows you to setup tasks and projects to time-track them. This might work fine if you don't already have your tasks listed somewhere else, but in my case I have plenty of lists in Trello where I detail my tasks, and re-entering all my tasks and projects into Y-Productive to track them is just too cumbersome. I end up using another tool for time-tracking (which allows me to just enter the current task, and no need to have a task list).

It was very motivating to turn on focus mode then return to the application later on. The colors aren’t obnoxious and it’s very easy to delegate tasks. Cons I found that sometimes it felt like organizing tasks was wasting more time than it was saving, but I think that had more to do with the fact that I was just setting the whole week up and it needed to have time spent on it.

It has really good concept. I would use it again if the system is improved. Pros It can catagorize ans record how productive the user is based on his activity on computer. Cons The user cannot set the category of productive/unproductive task freely. The program forces the user to categorize his/her activities. Also when the user accidentally assigned a block of time with similar task to the task next to it, everything is combined and cannot be separate, which is very annoying.

Lead Consultant Computer Software ### "Application use productivity is context based." 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 2.0 2.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 5/10 September 13, 2018 I went to y-productive with expectations created from Rescue Time (which I used long time ago). So my main goal using it was to get a sense where the my time went. After some use I felt that y-productive wasn't answering this question and was more trying define what productive means for me. Through tasks and uncategorized application uses. Another insight that drove me away from y-productive, and probably other applications with the same functionality is the definition of being productive. The mere use of an application doesn't necessarily mean I'm being productive or not. I'm a polymath so I do lots of things at once and application usage needs a context to be classified as productive use or not. When I thought about this I realized that this approach of classifying applications would not help much. Pros Y-Productive is easy to use and install, works with minimal effort. Its interface is clean and pleasing and its feature set is accessible. The premisse of the y-productive, which tracking what you do on your computer, is a good one. Applications like Rescue Time (which I used before) can help us to get more productive by seeing where our time is going and so Y-Productive. Cons The lack of pre-categories for common applications was a big deal. On the first use the uncategorized applications grow fast and the time investment to get value from the application is high. Having tasks for me is a conflicting feature which gets in the way of the time tracking. I see what the idea is, to know you're productive is good get tasks done. But I feel the application should be divided in two. There's the time tracking application and maybe a tasks application. Both in the same application brought little value for me.

Consultant Information Technology and Services ### "Useful tool for measuring activity and planning and allocating time" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 September 13, 2018 I'm generally not a fan of 'productivity' tools - most don't work that well or they require too much time to manage. I purchased Y-Productive after using the demo version for a few days as it is a useful tool for measuring activity and that feeds into planning and allocating time to specific tasks and projects. For many users the key feature will be the 'Focus Mode' that stops you from going down the rabbit hole of distraction when you spend a lot of time in front of a connected computer, but for me it is a tool to give a reasonably accurate measure of time spent on specific tasks and projects so that in future planning and allocation of time can be more accurate and realistic. It's common for us all to underestimate the time that tasks will take; Y-Productive shows actual time expended. This can be fed back into future project plans giving more realistic timeframes and costs. Y-Productive is also good for spotting areas where efficiencies can be (or should be) introduced and to ensure that sufficient time is spent on important tasks that may not be urgent. A key factor in the purchasing decision was that customer support is responsive and suggestions do get fed back to the development team. Most 'productivity' tools get used for a few weeks before being abandoned, but Y-Productivity looks like it will be joining the select few that become an integral part of the working day and actually make a positive contribution to time management. Pros \- Simple interface - Does a good job of tracking activity - Doesn't require much user intervention - Nice visual reporting Cons \- Takes a bit of time to classify productive/unproductive sites/apps - A few tracked items aren't easily identifiable - A few quirks in the UI - Would be nice to track activity across desktop and laptop Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

Cons It wasn't able (that I am aware of) to keep track of what I would do on my phone. I realized I had wasted a lot of time on my phone while also on my computer which is the reason I ceased using Y Productive.

Pros It's easily the best productivity software, it doesn't even get on your face as you can just close it and keep working. The ability to track everything you're doing on the computer with this software leaves you worry free to just do what you have to do, and when you're done you can just open the window again and move the activities around to get your productivity percentage. Cons I really didn't find any cons when using this software, I monitored the RAM usage and it stays minimal, it isn't heavy on resources and it's easy to use with a friendly and beautiful interface.
