The timer is your main tool for tracking focused work sessions.

1. In your workspace, click the Timer tab.
2. Click the ▶ Play button to start tracking time.
3. You’ll see the timer start counting up.
4. When you’re done, click the ⏹ Stop button.
5. Click Upload to save the session.

Your uploaded sessions will appear in the History section, and the total time will be added to your dashboard statistics.

Step 4: Add a Note

Notes are rich‑text documents that live inside your workspace.

1. In your workspace, click the Notes tab.
2. Click the + button to create a new note.
3. Give your note a title and start writing in the rich‑text editor.
4. You can change the font, colour, size, and alignment of your text.
5. Click Save to store the note.

Your note will appear in the notes list. You can edit it anytime by clicking on it.

Step 5: Add a Goal

Goals help you track your progress toward meaningful achievements.

1. In your workspace, click the Goals tab.
2. Click the + button to create a new goal book.
3. Give your goal book a name, e.g., Q3 Goals.
4. Inside the goal book, click Add Goal and enter your goal.
5. Mark it as completed when you reach it.

Your goal progress will be displayed on the dashboard as a visual ring chart.

Step 6: Explore the Dashboard

The dashboard gives you a complete overview of your workspace at a glance:
