Creating a Chronometer

[TIMAI2]

I have found it is possible to use the built in FormatTime block - with some adjustment for the summer time hour in my locale

This will return the millis value in 00:00:00 format (hours:mins:secs) for display

Yes, it is known:

How to convert milliseconds to "hh:mm:ss" format?

Unfortunately, the problem continues with the days:

Here is the new extension:

Time Format Extension - Millis to [HH:mm:ss] - [days + HH:mm:ss] - [HH:mm] - [mm:ss] etc

Here is an extension to format the time / duration (millis) in different ways: → [ HH:mm:ss ] → [ days + HH:mm:ss ] → [ HH:mm ] → [ mm:ss ] → etc. This is asked very often and always requires a lot of questions / answers and posts in the forum. (Last here: Creating a Chronometer - #17 by PizzaGuy07) Hence this extension (some of it can also be implemented with the on-board methods, but I want to simplify it:): Version 1 (May 20, 2020): TFormat.aix (5.5 KB) Version 2 (Oct 20, 2021): TForm…

Ok thank you very much for solving my problem, but at this moment I am trying to figure it out how to save the time after I’ve put on the chronometer (on a file) and then when I reopen the app I will find the time on file + the time I spent out of the app.
Example : I have a chronometer that is used to manage my time spending time on PS4
I can play 30 min per day and I created this app for it. I pun on the chronometer and I after some minutes while I’m playing the phone goes on the homescreen and exits from the app. I want the time spent with the app open + the time I spent with the app closed to be viewed all together by using a file that saves the time when the app is closed and adds the time when I reopen it.
Thank you, I anyone wants to suggest something fell free to help me

These are now questions about TinyDB.
So please open a new thread for this.
