Step 2 — Create Your First Project (optional)

After granting the necessary permissions, you can set up your first project to start tracking your work more effectively.
If you’re not sure yet, you can skip this step and create one later.

  • Choose your folder — Select or drag a folder that contains your project files.
    Chronoid will automatically track time spent working on files inside this folder, so you can see exactly how much time you spend on each project.
