Timer for logging time spent on task(s) without having to tab through windows to click buttons. Plays a beep/alarm after the timer has been inactive for 5 minutes, for productivity reasons, to assist in staying active and keeping track of time while completing tasks or working from home.

2. Logs time and all user actions to .txt file for record keeping

3. Script can be executed from provided run.bat file, it checks for a venv and sets one up along with dependencies if it does not already exist.
