Most RescueTime users are billed directly through the website and can cancel from their account settings. If you subscribed through an app store, you'll need to cancel through that platform instead of your RescueTime account.

RescueTime cancellation tips

A few things that might affect your RescueTime cancellation or timing.

Your data stays available after cancellation
RescueTime keeps your historical data accessible even after you cancel, so you can still view past reports if you decide to reactivate later.
Free version continues to work
After cancelling Premium, you'll automatically drop to the free RescueTime plan, which still tracks basic time usage with limited features.
No refunds for partial months
RescueTime doesn't offer prorated refunds, so you'll have access until your current billing period ends even after cancelling.

Before you cancel, keep this in mind

These details can affect your cancellation timing or whether it goes through properly.

1. Check who's actually billing you

If you signed up through the Apple App Store or Google Play, your subscription is managed by them, not RescueTime. Cancel through the app store instead.

2. You keep access until your billing period ends

Cancelling stops future charges but doesn't end your current subscription period. You'll have Premium features until your next billing date.

3. Deleting the app doesn't cancel billing

Removing the RescueTime app from your devices won't stop subscription charges. You need to cancel through your account or the app store that's billing you.

Consider these alternatives

If you're cancelling because of cost or usage patterns, these options might work better than cancelling completely.

Switch to the free RescueTime plan

RescueTime offers a free tier that includes basic time tracking and simple reports. It might cover your needs without the monthly cost.

The free plan includes basic time tracking, simple productivity scores, and limited website categorization. Premium adds detailed reports, goal setting, and website blocking features.

Alternative ways to cancel RescueTime

If you can't cancel through your RescueTime account, you may need to go through app stores. The right option depends on how you're being billed.

iPhone and iPad users who subscribed through the app need to cancel RescueTime in their Apple ID subscription settings.
