It’s easy to forget you’ve turned on Private time, which means you might miss out on logging your productive time hours. The Private time reminder is designed to notify you if the feature is still running after a set amount of time.
How to set up the reminder
To turn on the reminder, follow these quick steps:
Right-click on the DeskTime app icon in your taskbar (system tray).
Hover over Private time reminder in the menu.
Choose the frequency from the three available options: 15, 30, or 45 minutes.
Once set, DeskTime will automatically send you a desktop notification after your chosen time has elapsed.
How to turn off the reminder
If you no longer wish to receive these prompts, you can turn off the reminder using the same steps:
Right-click the icon, hover over Private time reminder, and deselect the active time interval.
Ensure your notifications are active: To receive these reminders, make sure notifications for DeskTime are enabled in your computer's system settings. For windows, use this guide. For macOS, use this guide.
