How do I start and stop tracking?

Choose Start tracking when you begin work and Stop tracking when you finish. Your time syncs automatically, so there's nothing to submit.

Taking a break

Stop the timer for lunch or an appointment, and start it again when you're back. If you forget, idle detection asks you what to do with the time. See What happens when I step away from my computer?.

If the timer won't start

It's outside your working days or hours. If your workspace restricts tracking to set days and times, the app says so, for example "Saturday and Sunday locked".
Time tracking is off for you. Admins control this in Member defaults.
A permission is missing. See Which permissions does the app need, and why?.
The app needs an update. Choose Check for updates in the ⋮ menu.
