I use the mobile app a lot, because frequently I need to update while I’m on the go.
While on my computer, I actually use the command line interface plus a custom wrapper I wrote to make the CLI more user-friendly and more customized to how I personally use Toggl. Before I used that, though, I used the web interface. I was unaware there was a desktop app.

Do you also use Rescuetime?
No, I’ve never used Rescuetime. The core problem I have is that sometime me using Facebook is goofing off and sometimes me using Facebook is for important work. Rescuetime can’t tell the difference, but I can.

I’ve found it difficult to use Toggl when I’m away from the computer, during social/break/food/cleaning/interruptions/errands/other time. Maybe I just need to get in the habit of pulling out my phone and start/stopping the timer?
That’s my solution.

2) How do you do food?
Of note is that “buying food” is categorized as “Errands” and “eating food” is usually a part of “Break”, so my total time spent on food-related activities is higher than just the “Food” category (which is solely for assembling the food) would imply. Maybe I should fix that if it would be useful to include a more broad assessment of food (buying, assembling, AND eating)?

I spend a lot of time on food (buying, cooking, eating) each week, and I enjoy it but would be open to time saving techniques (especially when it comes to veggies)
This has been the most requested (and by that, I mean from four people) feature, so I’ll probably write a post on this, but I think it would disappoint people by being too specific to my personal circumstances (and by that, I mean weirdness).
I was unaware there was a desktop app.
There is, and they just released global shortcuts, which has helped a lot!

If it’s too weird I’ll just stop reading! I like my familiarity points system, but when you publish everything online it might be prudent to consider weirdness. Perhaps a shareable document for those interested?
