Is there anyway to display a timer for the day or a sum of all the days time in the main window?? Example. I work for 8hours, I would like to know how much of that 8 hours I have left to work for the day, since my start time varies each day). ---

Glass half empty kind of guy? Previous version of Grindstone, pre-V4, had an egg time one could set and would count down. In lieu of that, v4 has a reminder to stop working after xx:xx amount of time. Would that do the trick? Click Grindstone menu \> Options \> Timing tab. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/epiforge/original/1X/53eacec0962c3a50b8a4868e0f00fb782e088cb4.png) ---

Thankd @donvnielsen, I found the timing preferences. I also found that you can change the timer to sum up all the time during the day by right clicking on the icon. I think this will work for now.
