Provide optional "Is this task still active?" pop-ups

Provide optional pop-ups, with user-selectable time intervals (e.g. 15 min, 30 min, 1 hours, etc.), that will open a window basically saying "Hey, are you still doing this task?"

I run SlimTimer in a small separate window via the "Bubbles" thing. That window is usually covered by my browser, and I often forget to stop a task when I'm done. I think my suggestion would provide a solution to this problem.

  1. Support for the web popup version would also be great. And possibly a Growl plugin for Mac.

  2. I made this myself in a new Bubblebox-module:

  3. Personally, I don't like attending to another task (assuring SlimTimer I am still working) while working on a project... it's distracting and can be detrimental to productivity. I would recommend of saving a record in the background when SlimTimer thinks I went inactive so I can go back to edit my entries and just say "stop timing at this inactive point" so it adjusts it accordingly.
