Chrome Extension: Fixing Clock Errors

If the extension reports “Your device clock is N minutes ahead” (or behind), time tracking stops until the clock is fixed — correct timestamps are what make your tracked hours trustworthy.

The fix is to re-sync the system clock:

• Windows: Settings > Time & Language > Date & Time > toggle Set time automatically off and back on (or click Sync now).
• macOS: System Preferences > Date & Time > check Set date and time automatically.
• Linux / ChromeOS: enable automatic date & time in the system settings; on Linux sudo timedatectl set-ntp true does it from the terminal.

Everything recorded before the stop is safe and uploads automatically once the clock is correct and you press Start again. The desktop application shows the same alert — see Fixing System Time Errors.
