Org-mode like time tracking?

Plugins ideas

Potential new user here, looking to migrate from org-mode. In org-mode, you can easily clock into and out of a task multiple times, and then display how long you spend in total on each of your tasks. It achieves this by storing data like

CLOCK: [2022-03-24 Thu 14:17]–[2022-03-24 Thu 14:27] => 0:10
CLOCK: [2022-03-24 Thu 13:46]–[2022-03-24 Thu 14:00] => 0:31
:end:

I couldn’t find any plugin that does something similar (at best they seem to support only a single start and end point), but perhaps I missed something?

Have a look at the (relatively new) plugin “Super Simple Time Tracker” (GitHub - Ellpeck/ObsidianSimpleTimeTracker: Multi-purpose time trackers for your notes!)

It creates a block in which the timer data is stored.

You can start/stop/segment the timers.

Pretty decent so far.

Here’s the way I track my time which is similar, and should hopefully be enough for you to modify it to fit your needs:
