"Inactivity threshold" for starting stopwatch at the end of last tag
When using the "Start stopwatch at the end of last tag" option, a problem arises if I become inactive for an extended period, such as 30 minutes, an hour, or even longer. I want to keep this option enabled without the need to disable and re-enable it manually to adjust for inactivity.
A potential solution is an "Inactivity threshold" option, where I can specify how many minutes of inactivity are acceptable to include in the tag. For example, if the threshold is set to 5 minutes:
- If I’ve been inactive for 3 minutes, the tag would start from the end of the previous tag.
- If I’ve been inactive for 30 minutes, the tag would instead start from the most recent activity.
(Screenshot 3 illustrates this behavior.)

I start the stopwatch and work, suddenly something distracts me from work and I leave and the stopwatch is working, I come back after 10 minutes and receive information about my absence - I tag it and go back to work, after some time I finish work but I would like to honestly record the time I spent on work, so I would have to subtract the time of my absence from the time the stopwatch was working, in order to achieve an effect similar to pausing the stopwatch (unfortunately you can forget about it)

Or maybe just ask in the Away dialog if the timer should have kept running...

I really love the tool. However, it would be great to automatically stop the stopwatch whenever I go inactive, as I do not want overlapping tags since during inactivity I am usually not continuing the task of the stopwatch.
