Timeline & views

NowDoing offers three views on today inside the popover. Switch between them with the tabs at the top.

Groups

The Groups view is the default. It shows your activities as a list with day totals, sorted by duration.

🛠️  Coding         3:42
📞  Calls          1:15
✉️   Email          0:48
☕  Break          0:30

Quick check: “How much have I coded today?” — one click answers it.

Timeline

The Timeline shows your day as a horizontal, color-coded bar — from morning to evening. Each block is an activity; width is duration.

What is this good for? At a glance you see:

Where your focus block was.
How often you context-switched.
Where the gaps are (breaks, meetings, off-screen time).

Hover a block to see the name and time range.

List

The List is the chronological, detail-precise view: every entry with start, end, and duration.

09:00 – 10:20  🛠️  Coding         1:20
10:20 – 10:45  📞  Calls          0:25
10:45 – 11:00  ☕  Break          0:15
11:00 – 12:30  🛠️  Coding         1:30
12:30 – 13:15  —   (Gap)          0:45
13:15 – ...    ✉️   Email          running

Gaps are shown explicitly — NowDoing does not back-fill them. So you keep visibility on what you actually tracked vs. what you didn’t.

This view also lets you edit or delete individual entries directly.

Timesheet (separate window)

For week views or multiple days, open the Timesheet — right-click the menu bar icon → “Timesheet”.

There you’ll find:

Day and week views
Totals per activity and per day
CSV export for day or week (see CSV export)
