The only major difference is the fact that all reporting happens on their site, you are only having a simple agent running on your machine. And after 1 day of using Slife, I'd say RescueTime is a bit more feature rich, allowing me to use different tags for the apps (you can probably achieve the same in Slife by defining multiple 'Activities'). Anyways, there is one feature that I'd like to see that is missing from both apps: the possibility to mark the time spent inside an app differently (f.e. while using the browser, I wish I could mark: 1hour online research, .25hour social networking) Both are interesting apps and you can learn quite a bit about your habits just but leaving them running in background and checking from time to time the reports.

Slife is keeping tack of all your computer activities and is pretty simple. There is no relation between the age of RescueTime and the reasons I dropped it though :-)) Just letting you know that RescueTime is a little older than Slife, nothing more :-) As far as I know, RescueTime is only tracking your web activities, meaning the browser.

I'm not sure I'm getting the older than one year argument, though. Any particular reasons for dropping RescueTime? I’m not sure I’m getting the older than one year argument, though.

Meanwhile, I've been using ActiveTimer which wasn't great and afterwards RescueTime which looks like Slife but all the reporting part is online. I didn’t know Slife is free, so thanks for the tip!
