Audio-aware tracking
Active timer starts automatically when audio signal is detected in the buffer. Pauses after 60 seconds of silence.
Saves with project
Time data is saved inside your DAW project file. Reopen the project and pick up exactly where you left off.
Zero CPU impact
Timer runs at 1-second intervals in the UI thread. Audio processing is a simple magnitude check — negligible overhead.
