Timer & Booking

roots offers several ways to log time.

Timer

Start a timer to track work in real-time:

1. Click the Timer button in the toolbar
2. Select a project and task (from Moco)
3. Optionally add a description
4. Click Start

While running, the timer shows elapsed time in the toolbar and as a dock badge on macOS. You can pause and resume the timer at any time.

When you stop the timer, you can either:

• Book directly — creates a Moco time entry immediately
• Save as draft — saves the entry for later booking

Drafts

Drafts are unsaved time entries that persist across sessions. They're useful when you stop a timer but aren't ready to book the time yet.

• Open the Drafts drawer from the toolbar to see all saved drafts
• Each draft shows the date, hours, project/task and description
• Click a draft to book it to Moco or delete it
• Delete all drafts at once with the button at the bottom

Drafts shorter than 1 minute are automatically discarded.

Quick Booking

Create a time entry without the timer:

1. Right-click in the Moco column or use the + button
2. Select project, task and enter hours
3. Add an optional description
4. Click Save

Book from Outlook

Convert a calendar event into a Moco entry:

1. Hover over an Outlook event card
2. Click the + icon that appears
3. Select the target project and task
4. The duration and description are pre-filled from the event
5. Click Book

Favorites

Pin project/task pairs for frequent use:

• Add a favorite from any Moco entry's context menu
• Use a favorite by clicking it in the sidebar to start a quick booking
• Reorder by dragging favorites in the sidebar
• Edit or remove via the favorite's context menu
