The "industry standard" is to have a 'Remember me' style tick box at login and allow people the option of being logged out or staying logged in.

For example:
screen shot 2015-02-20 at 17 48 37
screen shot 2015-02-20 at 17 49 13

Given we are creating a time logging app, do we feel it is necessary to provide this option to people?
Should we log people out after x amount of time?

Two concerns might be: legal (I don't have any insight here if anyone can shed some insight?) and familiarity/perception of privacy/safety.

At present we are not logging anyone out of the App due to inactivity.
If a person using the App requests this feature (e.g. for perceived security reasons) we could ask them how long they want before their session expires. This could be a legitimate use-case but right now I don't feel that it is. Last thing you want in a "personal effectiveness" app is to have to constantly Log in to the app whenever you don't use it for a few hours/days. 💭
