Suggestion: Add Total Hours Worked and Time Log

[BMando]

Hi team,

I have a suggestion that I think could improve our time-tracking experience. It would be helpful to have an accumulated total of hours worked displayed at the top of the interface, which could reset every 24 hours. Additionally, having access to a time log would provide better visibility into how our time is being spent.

This could be especially useful for tracking productivity, identifying patterns, and making adjustments when needed. I understand there may be some technical limitations, but I’d love to hear your thoughts on how we could make this work!

Looking forward to your feedback!

I really like the idea of having a quick way to see how much time I’ve worked so far, it would definitely make tracking productivity easier. However, I have a few questions about how the reset should work. Should the timer restart based on local time, or would there be a configurable time zone setting? Alternatively, could it be more of a personal tool where users have the flexibility to define when their workday starts?

We could approach this in a few ways:

Fixed Reset Time (Local Time-Based) – The timer could reset at a predefined time every 24 hours, based on the user's local time. This would ensure consistency but might not be ideal for remote teams working across different time zones.

Configurable Time Zone Setting – Users could specify their preferred time zone in their profile settings, and the reset would occur based on that selection. This would accommodate distributed teams while maintaining a structured reset time.

User-Defined Workday Start – A more flexible approach would allow users to set their own start time for tracking. The system would then reset their accumulated hours based on this setting, ensuring that the feature adapts to individual work schedules.

From an implementation standpoint, the choice depends on the level of customization we want to offer and how it aligns with our existing time-tracking logic. Would love to hear your thoughts on which option would work best!
