Time-related logging
planned
tetr
I was looking for an app for a suitable logging pomodoro timer, but I found Tetr by a comment on Reddit. I make lists and tasks on Discord all the time and this app would've been amazing for more if I knew about it sooner, and the UI is very pleasant
Does the Tetr team consider a time-related logging feature either within Tetr or through a separate app?
I currently use Focused Work to log timed sessions and to track how much time I'm using for studying

Thank you! I was the one who made this request. I wanted to add in more details about this feedback of time-related logging or the pomodoro (PD) technique in time management.
Sample apps that I find appropriate to the logged PD genre:
Focused Work (my favored)
Session
Toggl Track
These apps have flexible timers in general and doesn't necessarily need to be called PD timers. The most important feature that these apps do that work on the groundwork of the PD technique is that you can document what the time was used for and there are "statistics" or a logbook/history of your sessions.
What would Tetr be able to to that is unique to Tetr for the logged-time functionality?
Do you know how people would throw all their school papers and books into their backpacks without organizing it and only open it again when they need something? In Tetr, you can throw things into the void, disorganized. Maybe there are some things you will never at look again, but you know it is there. Tetr doesn't require organization and you can "spit" your brain out in their appropriate spaces while also being aware of where your brain had went.
Expected time-logging features:
Being able to name intent/title of task of the session
Ability to select from preset techniques (PD, Flowtime, etc)
Ability to make a custom timer (custom focus and break times)
Ability to stop a session due to early completion or abandonment
Ability to pause a running timer
After a session, the total amount of time of focus is summed
Special considerations:
Some QoL features-- such as app or website-blocking-- are also important to working using PD method, and can also be a feature to accomplishing tasks, but may not be thematically fitting or unsuitable for the nature of Tetr.
Implementation of statistics (to the extent that the sample apps do it) can also be not thematically fitting without a dedicated statistics page or highly simplified statistics as a robot text response

Harebourg: Thank you for the detailed feedback on this! I have used Toggl Track before and while I can't promise more advanced features but I am hoping at least some kind of timer-like logging functionality will be implemented. Again, this is probably pretty far down the timeline and won't be around for a while. Hoping more advanced features will also be possible with extensions / plugin support we're hoping to implement as well.
