# Ignore Tracking

Ignore Tracking keeps personal or noisy activity out of your reports. Add the apps, websites, or keywords once and Chronoid skips them automatically.

---

## How It Works

- Chronoid checks each event against your ignore rules.
- Matches by app name, domain, URL, or keyword are dropped before they reach the timeline.
- Changes to the list only affect future tracking.

---

## Add Items from the Timeline

1. In the Activity view, right-click the entry you want to exclude.
2. Choose **Add to Ignore List**.
3. Confirm the prompt to ignore future activity and clear existing entries for that selection.

> Need a redo? Use **Edit → Undo** (⌘Z) right after confirming.

## Add Items from Settings

1. Open **Settings → Tracking → Ignore tracking**.
2. Select the **+** icon and pick the rule type (App, Domain, URL, Keyword).
3. Enter the value and choose **Add New**.

## When to Use It

- Hide personal browsing that shouldn’t count toward work.
- Exclude internal tools that flood your dashboards.
- Mute background utilities that run all day.

Keep your reports focused on the activity that matters.
