What notifications does the Timerfly app show, and when?

Only seven, each at a specific moment. None of them asks you to do anything you didn’t expect.

Work day started: when your company starts the day by itself, at your first keyboard or mouse use in work hours. The very first time, it explains what’s happening.

You haven’t started work: when your company uses Start work, if you’re at the computer after your start time (plus the grace minutes) and haven’t pressed it. Up to 4 reminders, 15 minutes apart, then it stops.

Your work day ended at…: once, at the end of your shift, if you’re still working. More time counts as overtime until you press Stop work. It waits until you’re at the computer, for up to 3 hours after the end.

Your work day was closed at…: after a work day was left open with no keyboard or mouse for a few hours (3 unless your company changed it). Shown when you’re back, with the time it was recorded as ending.

Break over (or Welcome back if you were away longer): when a timed break ends. Tracking resumes by itself.

Welcome back, you were away…: when you come back after being idle, saying how long you were away (that time counts as idle). Turn it off in the app’s settings with Tell me when I come back from idle.

Timerfly is off for your company: when your company’s Timerfly is paused or suspended. Nothing is recorded until it’s back on.

Clicking a notification opens the Timerfly app. The ones that need you to do something (start, end of shift, day closed), the first automatic start and Timerfly being off make your computer’s usual notification sound, and Break over plays a short beep and opens the app.
