# First Steps with Timing

Thank you for installing Timing! You might have noticed that there's no data available yet. Don't worry, that's fine! Just wait for a few minutes to have Timing track your activities. You can then select them from the activity list and drag them over to the projects in the list on the left.

To get you up and running as quickly as possible, please go through the following steps:

- Make sure that the Timing menu item will start at login. In order to track your activities, the menu item needs to be running in the background.
- Enable accessibility support in order to allow Timing to track the documents you view or work on.
- Enable support for Terminal.app to track the paths you are visiting in terminal sessions.

After you did this, you can quit the main Timing application while the menu item continues to record your activities. After a few days, return to Timing and have a look at the data collected so far. After getting familiar with the interface, you can now categorize your activities into projects, configure the blacklist and filter the data for specific criteria.
