Time tracker
============
smartLog offers a timer to set to any custom interval. It will automatically
show a notification after it timed out.

To launch the timer navigate to *cragl -> smartLog -> Timer* or use the hotkey
``Alt + T``.

The timer looks like this:

To set the timer to 60 minutes, click the **60 Min** button **(1)** to set up
the timer. If you are ready, click the **play** button **(2)**. The timer will
now count backwards from 60 minutes:

Once the timer has timed out after 1 hour, a notification will show up at the
bottom right:

You can also set a custom amount of minutes to count backwards to by using the
custom input at the right.

.. tip::

    You can add to the currently set time by **shift clicking** any of the
    time buttons. This works both when setting up the timer and also while the
    timer is running.
