If you are searching for RescueTime Alternative for Mac, take a look at Timing as it also uses automatic time-tracking. This approach implies the analysis of apps you are using and automatic distribution of time by projects or by activities. Naturally, this distribution occurs according to the rules you set.
As compared with other time-tracking apps this approach is best for those who are working on multiple projects at the same time and for some reason don’t want to bother starting and stopping the timer.
Timing has been created for Mac only and its functionality is a good RescueTime alternative. However, there are some differences between them, which we have put in the following table:

There’s one more alternative now, Qbserve:
It recognizes productivity of many sites and apps and has an ability to differentiate between chats in Skype, Slack, and Telegram.
Qbserve also gives instant feedback on productivity with dynamically colored dock and menu bar icons. At the same time, all the tracked information is stored privately on your machine.
