Title: Chess Clock App that does not pause when put in the background?
ThreadText: # Chess Clock App that does not pause when put in the background?
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2016-10-02)
  
  I am looking to track how much time I spent "working" and "not working". I would like to use a chess clock for this. When I go away from my desk, I hit the player 1's timer, and when I get back to work, I hit the player 2's timer.
  
  I think I found some **Android** apps that could work nicely, but if I need to switch apps or lock the screen, they all pause. Is there any such app that runs in the background? I use Android.

  I use [pomello](http://www.pomelloapp.com/).
  
  This isn't a timetracker really. It's more for those who practice the [pomodoro technique](http://pomodorotechnique.com/). It tracks the number of pomodoros you can achieve while allowing you to also tag disruptions and keep you focused until your break. I picked this particular one because it's integrated with trello. The integration allows it to tag your work items with the number of pomodoros you've done on that work item.
