This interesting: "Track time in two different buckets. One for time spent coding and another for time spent learning."

Is there any way to integrate tools like Harvest with editors, browsers and shells so that I don't have to stop what I am doing to start/stop a timer? If yes, which integrations do you use and how does the tool track idle time like disappearing to go on a phonecall, kitchen, etc?

I do believe there is a an integration with Trello. I don’t really like it though.

I use their desktop app, as it puts a start/stop button in the top Mac OS toolbar. This makes it very easy to change timers.

Anything that isn’t coding related (phone calls, rest room breaks, etc) I will pause the timer.
