 Super Simple Time Tracker is still in its early stages! There are a lot of plans for it, including:
 - A setting to link segments to corresponding daily notes automatically
 - A neat interface to edit previous segments' names and time stamps
-- The ability to copy the table in various formats, including as text, markdown, and csv
 - A fancier Start and End button
