Session Time Tracker
Description
The Session Time Tracker is a totally automatic time tracker for monitoring time spent on each song. If you have the tool installed, it will just work in the background, without altering your workflow in any way. If you choose to open the tool’s dialog, you’ll see the tool window update in realtime based on your usage.
Saving the file will save the tracking information for the time you spent. If you open a file, fiddle a bit, and close it without saving, no tracking data will be altered.
The tool classifies time spent based on activity, for insight into which tasks take the most time.
The tool can automatically create a report file alongside each of your opened XRNS song files:
- songname.xrns - Your Renoise song file
- songname.time-report.txt - A text file containing a human-readable report of how much time was spent on the song. Updates automatically whenever you save the song.
