Automatically [suggest to] stop timer when idle for a long time

When I close the app without stopping the focus time, I want the app to suggest me discarding all the idle time, so that I can see the actual time I spent on a task, and not the time Iโ€™ve been forgetting to stop the focus time :)

This is how it works in Toggl โ€” it suggest to stop timer when Iโ€™ve been idle for some [configurable] time + it suggests to discard time when a timer is running and I've been idle.

    Perhaps two alternatives could help in this regard.

    1) In the mobile version, the timer track can be quickly activated and deactivated using the device's accelerometer. This helps to remember the active timer and it is unlikely that we will forget our cell phone on the desk when we are interrupted from a task.

    e.g.:

    2) Automatically interrupting the task may end up causing undesirable consequences, such as making control difficult or compromising real data. In this case, wouldn't alerting/notifying whether you want the timer to continue after a deadline or a long period of time help more?

    @Ian Corvin Yap, I miss my time to stop all the time.
    I also have been getting these mails from track toggl too, so yes I know what you mean.

    But first - We will be going with time tracking editing feature first, so one can change time how much they used. After that, this ticket maybe?

    We will also see if Rize like feature that can access system log and check screen time is possible. If that is not much of hard, I think it can automatically stop timer thus can kill this ticket. :)
