macOS automatically hides apps from the menu bar if it is too crowded. To make sure that Tyme is always visible: Open System Settings > Control Center and remove items from the menu bar until Tyme is visible again. If you now hold down the ⌘ key, you can move Tyme further to the right in the menu bar using the mouse. This way it is less likely to be hidden due to lack of space.
If you don't see start and end times in the time entries view or the export, but only the duration. Please check, if:
Tyme supports two different time tracking modes: The cluster mode and the slot mode. The cluster mode is the equivalent of a pause, since only one time entry is created per task and day. No start and end times are recorded, only the duration. So if you don't want to have a new time entry for every interruption of your task, switch your project to cluster mode (Project > Edit).
If you think the recorded durations are wrong, please check the rounding settings for the task.
If you set the rounding for example to 15 minutes, time will display only rounded times and not the exact tracked duration.
When your PDF doesn't contain any time entries, please make sure, that:
Open the edit dialog for the task you want to activate Geofencing, scroll down to the Geofencing section and activate the checkbox. Enter the location by street name or by dragging the map.
If geofence tasks don’t work properly, enlarge the radius of your location. The GPS signal might be bad in this area.
