Hey everyone!

My name is Macgill, and I'm one of the cofounders of Rize. We're excited to be back on Product Hunt.

We’d like to start by thanking you all for the incredibly positive responses to our previous launches here. Getting #1 here jump started our growth, and we truly wouldn’t be where we are without this community.

It’s been four years since our last Product Hunt launch, and in that time, we've continued to build towards our goal of making Rize the most advanced, accurate, and automated time tracker.

Today, we’re excited to share our latest release, Rize Teams! This launch expands on our mission by allowing teams and agencies to spend less time manually tracking time and more time getting meaningful work done.

So what does Rize Teams include?

1. Automated, Accurate Time Tracking: Rize automatically tracks activity as you work and accurately categorizes the activity with AI. No more manual timers!

2. AI-Powered Time Entries: Rize’s AI generates time entries with descriptions based on your activity and tags these entries to clients, projects, and tasks automatically.

3. Real-time Visibility: Your team dashboard provides you with a clear picture of your entire team's time, project allocations, and client work in one centralized location.

4. Instant Billable Hours & Reporting: Track billable hours by client, project, and team. Set custom hourly rates, mark time as billable, and export beautiful PDF reports.

5. Seamless Integrations: Rize integrates with your existing task management tools. Our new ClickUp integration allows you to invite your ClickUp team members into a Rize Team, seamlessly sync tasks from your ClickUp workspace, and automatically post tracked time back to ClickUp timesheets and reports. You can also connect to your other tools using our Zapier integration.

Our goal at Rize is to build the most advanced and most automated time tracker in existence. We believe these new features are a major step towards that goal.

If you are interested, you can start a free trial or book a demo at https://rize.io/teams. We’re also offering a 25% discount for 3 months to celebrate our Product Hunt launch. Just use the code PRODUCTHUNT25.

We'd love for you to join our Discord community where our users hang out to chat about Rize, time-tracking habits, productivity, and more: https://discord.gg/KAWJ6p4hnB

Thanks again for giving us the opportunity to share Rize in this community! Let us know what you think!

@macgridcupcake When comes the translation for german users?

Love this tool! It's one of my no-brainer subscriptions, saves tons of time and helps a lot with logging time :)

I've been using Rize for a few months as an independent remote developer, and it's exactly what I needed - smart tracking with clean visualizations that provide dopamine boosts to build productive habits and eliminate bad laptop behaviors through fast feedback loops.

Macgill Davis

@anton_cheng Thanks so much for sharing this! We're so happy to hear you've been enoying Rize!

Wow, congrats on the launch @macgridcupcake

Early user for RIZE and a fan who goes about recommending it at every opportunity. Just two things which I would like to highlight (which might have already come to your attention but no response yet)

1) Your affiliate program is not affiliate-friendly. If through my code, the person I referred receives 25% off - once someone signs up they get a counter offer from RIZE at 60% off which doesn't really compensate for the effort which the affiliate would have taken.

2) Also a different filter to differentiate between device 1 and device 2 or work or personal device. This will help especially when we are tracking our time in a 9-5 job while also working during other times.

Macgill Davis

@adithya Thanks so much for reaching out and using Rize! I responded below.

1) Your affiliate program is not affiliate-friendly. If through my code, the person I referred receives 25% off - once someone signs up they get a counter offer from RIZE at 60% off which doesn't really compensate for the effort which the affiliate would have taken.

That's not accurate and apologies for any confusion. Even after the new discount is provided, the original affiliate is still tracked and paid out after the higher discount. If you're not seeing that, definitely reach out to support (support@rize.io) and we can look into it.


2) Also a different filter to differentiate between device 1 and device 2 or work or personal device. This will help especially when we are tracking our time in a 9-5 job while also working during other times.

This is definitely on the roadmap! We'll keep you posted. Thanks so much for sharing that!

Hyon Lee

@macgridcupcake  @adithya thanks for bringing this to our attention.

  1. Even though the user signs up with the new code, you should still be getting to affiliate compensation. We store the two values separately for this reason. Are you seeing that you're not getting the compensation sometimes? I'd like to pair with you to figure this out, it so.

  2. This is a great idea! I'll put this on our roadmap.

Thanks for sticking with us through thick and thin!

Adithya Shreshti

@realhyonlee That's right. The person I referred wasn't able to use my code as he was told that only one code can be used - he went ahead used the counter offer by Rize.

Tirthak Patel

One of the amazing productivity tool which helps me stay on track and number one on my list! Gives great insights about how the work went and the daily reports shared via email is cherry on top.

Macgill Davis

@tirthak_patel Thank you so much! It means a lot to hear you've been enoying Rize. Thanks for being so supportive over the years!

I wanted to share my experience with a software that has become unexpectedly essential for my daily routine. Honestly I didn't anticipate how useful it would be, but it has truly helped me boost my productivity day by day.

One of its main features is its ability to track my time usage and identify when I'm having to many distractors or when I'm working too much or too little. This insight has been invaluable for improving my efficiency. Furthermore, Rize helps me with the daily logging required by my company. I can easily go back and recall what I did on a specific day, categorize tasks by different projects or clients, and even add more detailed notes about my work. It keeps me organized and ensures accurate record-keeping.

I've been a user for several years now and have renewed my subscription multiple times. I genuinely didn't expect it to be this impactful, the software is a little on the high price for chilean economy, but it truly has transformed how I manage my time and tasks.

I hope this review is helpful to anyone considering Rize. I also want to express my sincere gratitude to Macgill and the Rize team for their responsiveness and exceptional support that has been a key factor in me remaining a loyal user for years. Thank you for creating such a fantastic product!

Hyon Lee

@rodrigo_worner Thank you so much for taking the time to write this heartfelt comment. This is the exact feedback that keeps the fire burning in our hearts to keep trucking forward. We haven't been perfect and we will continue to make mistakes, but it is your feedback that guides us back on track. Thank you for sticking with us through the years, and look forward to Chilean-economy-adjusted pricing coming soon! (Please feel free to nudge us on this when your subscription is about to renew!)

Charlie Taylor

I've been a Rize user for years. Great product!

Helps me effortlessly track (where I'm wasting 😅) my time and gently nudges me to get back to what I should be doing.

Highly recommend.

Macgill Davis

@charlietaylor Thanks so much for using Rize! We're so excited to have you onboard!

Hyon Lee

@charlietaylor Thank you for the kind words. Please let us know how we can make it better. Perhaps we knock on your window when you're distracted? 🤪

But really, thank you!

Farooq Chaudhry

Been a Rize user since August 2021, and it’s been impressive to see how far it’s come over the years. The tracker itself is seamless and actually useful - not just for tracking time, but for understanding how I work and where I can improve. I initially used it purely for insights to pinpoint where I could make the biggest impact on my productivity. I never anticipated all the additional features that would be added down the road. Over time, I’ve started using it to help estimate costs, manage tasks, and better balance my time and focus (the break time can be a little annoying, but extremely helpful). I’m really excited for Rize with this Teams launch and can see it being a big win for both Rize and any team looking to work smarter. I hope to see more platform integrations in the future .
Big congrats to the team, and I can’t wait to see what you add next!

Macgill Davis

@hello Thanks so much for using Rize! It really means the world to us!

Kris R

I have seen this grow from an only Mac app to a windows app and then get features that enable tracking every minute spent with effortless ease. The tab classification is a boon if you work with browsers and use different workspaces for clients. That’s pure brilliance. Get this one if you don’t have it. You might actually know if you are burning out or just being lazy :)

Macgill Davis

@kris_r1 Thanks so much for using Rize and supporting us all these years! We have a lot more features and improvements in the works!

Михайло Bilokon

Nice tool. It helps me do not think about day planning and collect statistics and the end of the day. Helps to generate daily report for my clients and for my manager!

Well done guys! Wish you good progress during the year.

I have Pro subscription! So already voted for Rize with my money :)

Macgill Davis

@_bilokon Thank you so much! We're honored to have you onboard. We're shipping improvements everyday!

Been using Rize for years. Best productivity & time tracker out there. Super sleek ui and the automations are top notch. I don’t have to babysit the software, it just does what I need ( and more ) without lifting a finger. Awesome stuff!
