In-App Alerts to Make Your Life That Much Easier

In-app alerts notification examples showing connection and limit warning messages on blue striped background.

By now, most of you will certainly be aware that Tahometer 3.0 is jam-packed with incredible new features. From a completely redesigned UI to literally hundreds of improvements, there’s a little something for everyone to love. What may have escaped your attention, however, is some of the agent’s less flashy — but equally brilliant — newer capabilities, including our convenient in-app alert system.

For Your Peace of Mind

One of the problems that no longer exist in Tahometer 3.0 is the unnecessary anxiety caused by a failing internet connection. This is why in addition to still tracking time locally, the app now thoughtfully informs users that any missing data will be sent to the server as soon as the connection is restored.

If further clarification is needed, just click on the alert box for a more detailed explanation.

Don’t Overdo It

In previous versions of Tahometer, for example, in order to keep track of their daily work limits, users were forced to rely on primitive things such as:

  • Schedules
  • Calendars
  • Their own brains
  • Talking parrots with mildly impressive temporal memories

Today, however, if a system administrator has set a time limit, users will automatically be notified as soon as they have reached the end of their shifts. Of course, everyone is still free to carry on with their work for as long as they like, but it goes without saying that this will not count towards their wages, and workaholism destroys families.
