Open Time Tracker v1.4.0

This release adds a visual weekly calendar for retrospective time entry.

New

• Added an expandable week calendar beside the main tracker.
• Monday-Sunday layout with real dates for the selected week.
• Full 24-hour view for every day, from 00:00 to 24:00.
• Existing time logs are displayed as blocks at their recorded times.
• Overnight sessions are shown across the relevant day boundaries.
• Added previous-week, next-week and Today navigation.
• Drag over an empty time period to create a retrospective entry.
• Calendar selections snap to 15-minute intervals.
• After dragging, choose or type the activity and save directly to time_log.csv.

Why this matters

The calendar makes unlogged periods much easier to see and fill retrospectively, while keeping the existing CSV data model unchanged.

Existing features retained

• Start/stop live time tracking.
• Backdated manual entries.
• Activity management and retrospective renaming.
• Date-filtered summaries.
• Automatic CSV backups before historical activity renaming.
• Direct access to the local data folder.
• Native Apple Silicon macOS and Windows x64 packaged builds.

Notes

The calendar uses the same underlying time_log.csv as all other entry methods, so existing logs and newly created calendar entries stay fully compatible with summaries and activity management.
