 Not beeing inside the editor for less than 5 minutes gets counted as beeing
 inside the editor.
 
+## Usage
+
+### Show time
+
+```:Timer```: prints the time inside this directory. If ```.timer.toml``` exists it get's included.
+
+```:TimerLog```: logs the current time table.
+
+
+### Save time
+
+Time gets automatically saved, when neovim is closed. Given that the ```.timer.toml``` file exists.
+If it doesn't Timer searches the next 10 higher directories for one. If there isn't one either nothing get's persisted. 
+
+```:TimerSave```: saves the current time to ```.timer.toml```. If the file doesn't exist it gets created.
