Dears,
My purpose related to a tracking app like Toggl (that was recommended for me recently) is to track how much time I spent in particular apps or types or apps - automatically, without pressing Start and Stop each time when I switch between apps I want to track.
I found an interesting Toggl option ‘Autotracker’ in Settings/Preferences (Windows version) and it works really well for automatic starting tracking (according to rule/active window name), but the issue is with automatic stop tracking after I switch to app (window name) that is not defined in rules (that I don’t want to track) - so when I switch to such app, tracking still counting time in the app/rule I don’t use, causing incorrectly time tracking. The automatic stop works only when I switch to app that is defined in another autotracking rule.
Can you please advice how can I solve that taking into account my purpose and the issue I mentioned above?
Thanks in advance.
@Christopher Thanks for posting this feedback! If you don’t mind, I’ll move this to the Product Feedback - Toggl Community category as it is a great suggestion and is currently not available with the settings you have for the Autotracker feature.
I can suggest using the Timeline feature, which tracks all your activity and allows you to easily convert the accumulated data into time entries, as a workaround.
@Veljko I turned on that Timeline/Record activity feature yesterday morning, and today I wanted to check “all my activity to easily convert the accumulated data into time entries” (projects/tags, etc.) - but I cannot find where all those yesterday’s activities have been saved. Could you help with that?
Thanks in advance for a path/step-by-step
Yes, thank you. However, one more question by the way - how can I split the time block (e.g. that one as on the screenshot attached) into 3 different tasks/projects say Teams, Citrix, and Notes?
I see that I can convert it to time entry, but (probably) only one.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to split that segment automatically - you’d need to convert it into a time entry in its entirety and then make edits from there later to shorten it and create two more based on the details of that tracked activity. I am sharing this as feedback with the team.
