2 years ago Ohh - it seems I missed the ability to RESTART the previous tasks of this day or previous day - on the main screen of the plugin - with ">" button. Sorry.
That covers the core of the "why" of this issue. Closing.
As the user of Clockify extension, I want to switch between my latest/favourite TASKS faster.
Problem - the "why":
When switching between Tasks multiple times a day (meeting, answering emails, devel on project1, devel on project2, ...), it takes far too long - too many clicks+scrolling are currently required in the Clockify extension. Often there are 2 or 3 tasks which the user always returns to over a span of a few days.
Solution - the "what":
Introduce fast 1-click selection of a subset of tasks - similar to the current concept of "Favourites" on Projects - but at the level of individual Tasks (from various Projects).
Solution option: "Latest Tasks"
Introduce a new "Latest Tasks" section - with the latest 5 tasks tracked via the extension.
I think it may get very popular when enabled by default. If somebody doesn't like it you can make it optional via "Settings" of the plugin - so he can disable / hide such section. Remember the "latest" over multiple days - so it survives the restart of computer.
Solution option: "Favourite Tasks"
In case you don't want to introduce the "Latest tasks" but stick to existing interface and do minimal changes only: Allow people to favourite a task - not only a project. In the FAVORITES section on the top - list the favourited tasks directly (if people favourited a task, not a project).
I personally think the solution "Latest Tasks" is better for all the users - who must multi-task, stop work on one task and return to another or work on two or more projects during one day.
