I have the app set to start a timer when I use a particular software, and if I start timing before opening the app or I click the Start timing popup, I keep getting the popup to start timer. I don’t understand why the popup keeps coming up when I’m already timing. I would like to know how to stop the pop-ups when I’m already tracking time. It is very annoying.
TIA
Yolanda
Hi Yolanda,
That does sound frustrating! Unfortunately, based on the information available, there is not a built-in way to suppress the app detection popup when a timer is already running.
A workaround you could try is to open Toggl Track first and start your timer before opening the software you have set up for auto-detection. This way the popup may be less likely to interrupt your workflow, though it sounds like you may have already tried that approach.
You could also consider disabling the app-based timer trigger entirely if the popups are causing more disruption than the feature is worth. You can manage your app integrations and detection settings within the Toggl Track desktop app settings.
This is not currently a fully resolved behavior in Toggl, and I will make sure to share your feedback with the product team as it would be a helpful improvement to have the popup automatically suppressed when tracking is already active.
Hope that helps a little, Yolanda!
