RescueTime Timesheets Reports

View and export your time in RescueTime Timesheets

Once you’ve tracked and organized your time, the next step is turning it into something useful—whether that’s reviewing your work or exporting hours for invoicing.

The View & Export page lets you filter, review, and download your timesheet data in just a few clicks.


Step 1: Choose your date range

Start by selecting the time period you want to review.

  • Use the date picker in the top right
  • Choose a preset range (day, week, month, recent) or select custom dates
  • Select custom dates by clicking the first day and then the last day in the range

You’ll only see data for the selected time range.


Step 2: Filter your data

You can narrow down your report to show exactly what you need.

Filter by:

  • Clients
  • Projects
  • Tasks

Each filter supports multi-select, so you can include multiple items at once.

  • Use Select All or Deselect All to quickly adjust your selection
  • Use the search bar to find a specific client, project, or task name 

Step 3: Adjust how your data is grouped

You can change how your time is organized in the report.

Interval

Controls how time is broken down:

  • Day
  • Week
  • Month
  • Minute (detailed view of all entries)

Group

Controls how rows are organized:

  • Project
  • Client
  • Task

For example:

  • Group by Project to see total time per project
  • Group by Task for more detailed breakdowns

Step 4: Apply additional filters

You can refine your report further using these options:

  • Billable only – show only billable time
  • Reviewed – show only reviewed entries and do not include unreviewed autocompletions
  • Finalized – show only finalized days

You can combine these filters depending on what you need.


Step 5: Review your time

Before exporting, take a moment to review your data.

You’ll see a table that includes:

  • Project
  • Client
  • Tasks
  • Hours
  • Billable time
  • Total amounts (if rates are set)

This is your chance to catch anything that looks off before exporting.


Step 6: Export your report

When everything looks right, you can export your data.

Available formats:

  • CSV: flexible, works with most spreadsheet tools
  • Excel
  • Raw: all of your data for the time period, unfiltered

Click your preferred format to download your report.


Understanding rounding

Your report uses a rounding setting to calculate totals.

  • Default rounding is typically 0.01 hours
  • This determines how time is displayed and exported

If your totals look slightly different from what was expected, rounding is usually the reason.


Tips for better reports

  • Finalize your day before exporting for the most accurate results
  • Use filters to isolate specific clients or projects for invoicing
  • Group by project for summaries, or by task for detailed breakdowns
  • Review your data before exporting to avoid corrections later
