Did anybody manage to use this for task time tracking?
I want to know how much it took for a test, then how much for the project (sum durations of the small tasks), and then how much time did I spent on a clients
Basically, I want to do [toggl.com](http://toggl.com) in my app

Okay I am going to need some time…I tested it on two empty text rows. Interestingly, it auto populated the rows with date & time…Here is the interesting bit, as soon as I stopped, both fields cleared. So one thing we can be certain about, it does not require a numerical cell to work, because it forces everything out of its way…Ill carry out more tests later.

Yeah, I know, for now, each time before I stop the watch I need to type the duration manually.
I am trying to find a better way

Yes yes yes. Is this a bug or expected behavior?

This is expected as you need to start it again in the same celles

If you pused the time will remain, so what I did is a button to copy that time frame to paste it to a text entry

This does to text what text does to digits. This has many use cases.

I am playing with it and I can see already that if I set a custom action link to a screen when the duration is within start time, it works perfectly. When I stop the clock, the toggles between the link screen and main tab stop with it. More to come,…but great to see you’ve captured it already!

Hi,
I am new to glide and I have been able to create a stopwatch. Can you please assist a more detail on how you did what you did. I really want to create a bigger button like @Gideon_Lahav_Busines did and I can’t seem to know how he did it.
Please kindly assist
