I often find myself thinking about problems in the shower or out on walks, and that's also when I have big breakthroughs. How does WiseTime ensure I'm paid for that time too, not just when my butt is in my seat?

That's a tough one to automate. Right now, it involves logging a manual time entry to your timeline (then posting it). If you walk away from your computer and come back, WiseTime will ask whether you want to log the time (or part of it).

If you wake up in the morning, jump into the shower, solve a problem there, and hop onto your computer, WiseTime will then offer to log the last several hours including your sleep time. Edit down to 10 minutes (or however long your shower was) and log it. A bit contrived, but that's the best I got at this time. It's a tough problem to solve ;)

I use ManicTime and it marks the block as idle. From there I can tag the block as lunch/break/meeting/shoulder surfing a coworker or whatever.

The activity feed is a little creepy but I'm not using it in a team so it is 100% local with no cloud stuff involved.
