Hi Stephan, thanks for the issue! In the context menu, is there a "Task Type" selected?

[StanBarrows]

I can confirm this issue. If this behavior is not intended, I can have a closer look by cloning the repository offline and run it via npm.

[MaxGfeller]

I assume you have the newest version of the app installed? Could you try starting it via the command line: /Applications/Hakuna\ Menubar.app/Contents/MacOS/Hakuna\ Menubar

...and check if there appears an error if you try to start the timer?

[wireless25]

@MaxGfeller I started the app from the command line, no errors when starting the timer

I tried to run the app in dev mode, and I was able to start it, but I didn't find out how to open the dev tools for debugging, as there is no real window, and therefore the Electron app is not opening. I have no experience with Electron, some quick googling didn't help.

[MaxGfeller]

The timer logic is happening in the main process and therefore outside of any browser windows, that's why the dev tools unfortunately aren't of much help.

I can't reproduce the problem here but i just found something that might be responsible: do you have Hakuna's projects module enabled? Because this is probably not yet supported by the Hakuna Menubar app.

[wireless25]

We use different projects to track time, yes. If this is the issue, fair enough. Could you give me a hint on how to debug the application when the dev tools are not helpful?

I could support implementing the projects feature if this would be of interest :)

[MaxGfeller]

Alright, then i guess that's the problem!

It's kinda hard for me to implement this as we don't use the projects module internally. Do you think the project selection could be done similar to the selection of the task type?
