The time work is started is something I'm debating with myself on. I think I will add start + end date + time since it would help with making a timer persistent across pages/connection issues.
Confirmation is a must, mistakes happen!
Filters/reporting is coming over the next week, also a must, what's the point of time tracking if you can't compile reports of your time.

+1 for start/stop times because that's how I keep my data now. I have been looking for a simple solution like this for quite some time. Also: thank you OP

Sounds great — this is off to an amazing start.
Not sure if you intend to turn it into a business but with a little polish and the features you described it's simpler / better than several competing paid products on the market today (as you probably noticed).

Having start and end dates I find is much more easy to add in.
But they all need to be part of the same task for one day.
If I've forgotten to start a timer, it's easy for me to look at my browsing history and make a good guess when I started / finished.
Figuring out duration when you stop and start on a task multiple times becomes a pain.
The only changes I'd like to see are: allowing one to log the time work is started (not just the date), a confirmation before deleting data that can't be recovered, and a way to filter the hours charts by day / week / date range.
