Hi, was anyone able to find a solution to this? I’m still not understanding saving the time after each session and the updating the time after each new session

I think you would have to use a timer (or a forever loop) and increase a stored variable every second. Then you could just display that value, converted to minutes, in a label.

Oh okay. Please can you show me an example of how to do this? If you could send a screenshot of the logic it would be immensely helpful. Thanks.
