Tracking time

Live Activity & notifications

While the timer is running, you see it on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island – and can stop it from there.

On the Lock Screen #

As soon as you start a timer, Timenor creates a Live Activity. It shows the project colour, project name, start time and elapsed time. The start time appears as “since 08:30”.

Use the red stop button to end the recording directly, without opening the app. If you tap the Live Activity itself, Timenor opens the running entry.

NoteThe first time, iOS asks whether to allow Live Activities from Timenor. If you choose “Allow”, the Live Activity appears automatically from then on. You can change this in the iOS Settings under Timenor.

TipIf you swipe the Live Activity away, time tracking keeps running. The display reappears the next time you open Timenor. To end the recording, tap “Stop”.

In the Dynamic Island #

On iPhones with a Dynamic Island, Timenor shows a timer icon in the project colour on the left and the elapsed time on the right.

Touch and hold the Dynamic Island to expand it: you see the project and comment, and can jump into the app with “Open” or end the recording with “Stop”.

Note“Stop” only ends the entry shown. Other running entries keep running.

Reminder for long sessions #

If a timer runs longer than set (default: 8 hours), Timenor reminds you with the notification “⏰ Long Session – project name”. Tap it to open the entry and correct the end time.

You set the threshold under More › Time Tracking › “Long Session Warning” (1 to 24 hours), or turn the reminder off there.

NoteA changed threshold applies to timers you start afterwards. If “Stop timer automatically” is set to a shorter duration, the timer ends before that and there is no reminder.

Notification for an automatically stopped timer #

If you have turned on “Stop timer automatically”, Timenor reports “⏹ Timer ended – project name” as soon as the set duration is reached. Tap the notification to review the entry.
