Free time tracking app (Windows) that can tell between working and idle? (mander.xyz)

Hi Lemmings. Just wondering if you have any recommendations for this. I used to work with Clockify but I'm wondering, since there is a solid FOSS userbase here, if you know of a good, simple, offline, reliable no-frills app that tracks time spent working and can actually tell if I'm idle/afk .

Thanks!

I am also interested in alternatives as I still use Clockify. But I also need to rant about Clockify: oh my God it is so damn buggy. Whenever I use my VPN on Windows to connect to the office (split routing, so only traffic destined for the office goes over the VPN, not all traffic) Clockify goes in and out of "No internet connection..." for 5-10 seconds. It's also constantly logging me out, and will sometimes pop up a ton of "new update available" dialogue windows at the same time.

It also doesn't have great rounding options. And one of my clients has a tiered billing structure (X dollars up to a certain number of hours, Y dollars for anything over that in the month) which I don't think I can track in Clockify at all, so I end up doing all of that manually every month.

I thought about looking for FOSS alternatives but haven't gotten around to it yet. Also thought about doing my own FOSS thing with a paid hosted / support component, but I don't have much cross-platform GUI dev experience.
