- Draft comment:
New 'hour' option added. Ensure corresponding logic (e.g., in computed 'timeperiod' and 'periodIsBrowseable') and UI handling are updated to correctly support hourly filtering. - Reason this comment was not posted:
Comment did not seem useful. Confidence is useful =0%<= threshold50%The comment is asking the author to ensure that the logic and UI handling are updated to support a new 'hour' option. This is a general request to ensure that the change is tested and integrated properly, which violates the rule against asking the author to ensure behavior is intended or tested.

This is good for MVP but it would be nice to support looping for each hour.

Description
Currently, ActivityWatch provides time filters such as Day, Week, and Month in the main filter dropdown.
While the timeline already supports viewing activity data at an hourly level, there’s no direct option to filter or select an hourly range from the main filter controls.
This enhancement would make it easier for users to analyze activity within specific hourly intervals without relying solely on the timeline view.
Feature Proposal
Goal:
Add an “Hour” option in the existing time range dropdown to allow filtering activities for a selected hour (e.g., 1 PM – 2 PM).
Key Enhancements:
Introduce a new “Hour” filter option next to Day, Week, and Month.
Allow selecting:
Update the results dynamically in the timeline and summary view.
Example Prototype
Benefits
Expected Outcome
Users can select the Hour option in the main filter, choose a date and a specific time window, and instantly see the corresponding activity data — just like they currently can with day, week, or month.
