It would be nice if Rachota would allow a given task to
have an idle detector associated with it. The idel
detector would stop the timer associated with the task
if the computer has been idle for some configurable
period of time.

Thanks for all the hard work.

    You are right Mark. This is unfortunately hard to achieve in
    Java which is platform independent and detection of idle
    state is operating system specific action. I will try to
    look into this anyway. Thanks for your RFE !

    How about trying to detect number of mouse clicks and key presses?
    Whenever Rachota things computer is idle it can stop timer and show a confirmation message, if user is on the pc and having meeting or reading then he can say I am still working.
    Other way is to have a reading/studying/meeting mode....which means pc will be idle but time still needs to be counted (As a sub task not in the main task)

    my 2 cents.

    Never mind when the computer is idle -- I would be more than happy to have a notification when Rachota, itself, has been idle for X hours.

    By "idle" I mean that I have not interacted with the app in X hours. This would serve two purposes. (1) A reminder: did I get carried away and forget to keep Rachota up-to-date with my current task? (2) A killswitch: if I leave work without marking my last task as Done, switch to idle time.

    I would probably use X = 3, though making it configurable would be nice. :)

    Thanks!

    This feature was implemented in development build #091121 of Rachota 2.3. See issue #1781668 for more details.
