Hi! I created a separate discussion for this, but maybe it makes sense to drop here.

Feature request: "clean" install without the AI helper bundle.

I know AI is useful, but I'm sure there are some other users who don't necessarily need it bundled and one-shot installed for their time tracking use cases. Also, I wasn't able to find any dedicated uninstall / remove TimeTracker documentation, so that would be a helpful process to clarify.

Thanks!

Title - Add configurable mileage units (miles or kilometers) and rates
Problem — Mileage feature is currently fixed to kilometers and does not follow IRS rates
Proposed solution — Add an installation-wide setting that allows an administrator to select the mileage unit and a manage rates button like the Per Diem module
Value — This would make the mileage feature practical for U.S. businesses and other regions that use miles

@TroxellCPA can you validate if it is to your liking?

Hi,

Title — Adding Break automatically for workday
Problem — When a workday is finished, the break should automatically be added (e.g. 30 minutes) after 6 hours of work. Due to regulation, this is basically required for us.
Proposed solution — Break length and after how many hours the break should be added can be specified in the options
Value — People don't need to add time correction since it is automatically deducted.

Thanks
