Hi,  
There used to be a feature (version 1.12) that paused a Timer when the computer wasn’t active for a selected number of minutes. In the App Store this is called “Idle time detection and resolving”. I cannot find that feature in version 3.1.

Is that feature still in TimeLime?

Thanks,  
WSG

Hi WSG,  
This functionality is still there:  
When you see the idle time panel, click on “stop the timer when computer went idle”, and then start a new timer.

I must be blind. I don’t see an “idle time panel”. Can you please point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

No problem, you need to go to _Timelime Settings \> Menu Bar \> Notify after idle time_ and set it up there.
