Why does my time tracker stop automatically? I press “start” for a certain project. Go to other tabs to do research, come back and the timer stopped minutes ago. Now, I don’t have a record as to how long I’ve been working on a project.

Hi there,

It sounds like you have the Pomodoro timer enabled. Please check the browser extension if you have it installed 🙂 Just click on the cogwheel icon at the top-right hand corner of the extension, select the Pomodoro tab and toggle it off.

Let us know if you don’t have the browser extension installed or if the issue persists!
