I want to keep track of my day in 15minute intervals or less, even if I work on a project for 6 hours straight I want to see a description of what was done for each 15 minute block of my day. This way I can be sure I didn’t slack off for 2 hours on Facebook in the middle of those 6 hours by forcing me to put a short note of my progress each 15 mins; which in turn means i can see how a task progressed over a time period, eg was i debugging the code I wrote for the majority of the 6 hours I spent on a task or did a particular part of the task take longer than expected etc.
The only way I can think of doing this is using manual mode and then setting an alarm on my phone to go off every 15 mins and adding a new time worked item each 15 mins which I think is not ideal and the app could really facilitate this much better.
I think a really useful feature would be, when I have a timer running I want to be prompted every 15 minutes to be asked if I am still working on the task and if so to add a short note of what I did in that last 15 mins. Otherwise I could choose to stop the timer. Then if I have stopped a task and I don’t have a timer running but my computer is still active then every 5 mins I want to be asked to start a timer with the option to snooze for n minutes would be nice. But if I choose yes start a new item then I would like to be asked if I want to have the timer started from the end of the last task (I.e 5 mins ago). These alerts should be toast notifications that display whether or not you have the application in focus, like a windows 10 notification.
I think this feature would be simple to implement and would ensure your time logs are accurate and complete and make it very hard to forget to start or stop a timer. I want to try and make sure that every 15 min block of my day has a timed item against it, even if it is meal breaks, housekeeping etc and this feature would facilitate that.
