global shortcut ( it can be used from anyapplicaion when app is running ) for pause and resume

Currently this is not possible because UWP Apps don't offer that capability (without hacky workarounds). But maybe it will be possible in the future...

What about a global shortcut / global hotkey to start and stop tasks on macOS? Or is there an AppleScript, CLI, API, ... that could be invoked for this using other tools such as Alfred.app?

I am considering implementing "Shortcuts" for both the iOS & macOS app (new with macOS Monterey). Then you could set up a shortcut + keycombination in the Shortcuts app

On macOS, I use AppleScript now to start/stop/pause tasks. To Start:

tell application "WorkingHours"
	activate
end tell
tell application "System Events" to tell process "WorkingHours"
	click menu item "Start Work" of menu 1 of menu bar item "Time tracking" of menu bar 1
end tell
