So I build a app to track my time the problem that I'm running into is that I dont know how to keep it running in the background but I saw this statement.

The "trick" with background timer is to not to run it. Instead you save when user started timer and when they return to the app you can calculate elapsed time

The problem that I'm having is I dont know how to do that

hi,

this recent discussion on the HWS Forum may be of some use.

hope the helps,

SwiftUI has a built in modifier that will let you display the time since a Date(). You can say:

Text(event.date, style: .relative)

Where event.date is a Date()
