Recording working time is not something people should have to dive into a separate module to do. Work begins in the morning, pauses happen during the day, and work ends in the evening. Those actions belong at the edge of a working day, not at its centre.
Previously, starting, pausing or stopping time still meant navigating to the working-time page. That is not a major effort. But small detours stand out in actions that happen regularly. You briefly interrupt yourself, click to the right place, then return to what you were doing.
The timer where the day begins
The working-time widget is now also available on the home screen. From there, people can start, pause and stop time recording. The working-time page remains the place for the broader overview; it is no longer required for the next small action.
This deliberately does not add another layer of features. It is the same short flow, simply closer to where many people already begin their day.
Small friction adds up
One additional click is rarely a problem. Many additional clicks for recurring small tasks eventually feel like administration. A simple habit then gets postponed: starting later, forgetting a pause, or trying to reconstruct the day at the end.
The easier it is to record the actual moment, the more likely the record reflects the working day. That is useful not as control, but because the data does not have to be recreated from memory.
Back to work
The improvement is mainly about a simple principle: the toolkit should make the necessary action possible, then get out of the way. Press start, work. Press pause, take a break. Press stop, finish the day.
No new routine demanding attention – just less distance between the decision and the action.
