> Could you please elaborate how you would want this to be faster? A one click option, or perhaps a keyboard shortcut to start a timer? I'm eager to learn about potential workflows to make the experience more smooth :)

Something like ActivityWatch (open-source, non-functioning) or Timing (proprietary, functioning, for Mac): Keeps track of your app usage by app and app title and directory, automatically suggests tasks to make based on app usage.

Automated solutions like that seem really nice, but it's not possible for a web app to know much about what you're doing outside of the app itself.

Then don't make it a web app. Make a native app. Or a native app that sends the data to a web app via localhost websocket.

I'm the maintainer of ActivityWatch (happy to see it mentioned!) and automating the process of time tracking was why I started building it (along with frustrations I had with RescueTime).

Curious what you mean by 'non-functioning' here :)
