App and URL productive / unproductive rules
VisibleHours already records the active app and, when Windows exposes it, the browser domain. Operations then write simple rules: Outlook is productive, youtube.com is not. Unmatched time stays unclassified — that is the neutral leftover, not a score of zero. Idle stays idle. The tray icon does not change. Public Search stays on this page. It will not mark an app unproductive for you forever. After sign-in, Ask “open rules” or “add a url rule” opens the real screen; “rules tutorial” opens Help.
- Add a URL rule for a domain, or an app rule for a window name.
- Choose productive or unproductive.
- URL rules win when a domain was captured. Longer patterns win ties.
- Read the day on the person’s timeline — each block is labeled.
What this is not
- Not a web filter. It does not block sites or close apps.
- Not a hidden score. Employees still see the tray and can pause. Daily percentages live on Scores after you write a label.
- Not a keylogger. Rules use the app name and domain already on the timeline.
- Not a done-for-you catalog. Public Search will not mark an app unproductive forever.
