+#### Get Aggregated Time Estimates
+
+```
+GET /api/time-stats
+```
+
+Aggregates the `timeEstimate` for tasks within a given date range. The range can be a predefined period or a custom start/end date.
+
+**Query Parameters:**
+
+- `range` - A predefined range. Can be one of `daily`, `weekly`, `monthly`, `yearly`.
+- `start` - A start date for a custom range, in `YYYY-MM-DD` format. Must be used with `end`.
+- `end` - An end date for a custom range, in `YYYY-MM-DD` format. Must be used with `start`.
+
+**Examples:**
+```bash
+# Get total estimated time for tasks this week
+curl "http://localhost:8080/api/time-stats?range=weekly"
+
+# Get total estimated time for a custom range
+curl "http://localhost:8080/api/time-stats?start=2025-01-01&end=2025-01-31"
+```
+
+**Response:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "success": true,
+  "data": {
+    "totalMinutes": 750
+  }
+}
+```

+# Time Statistics View
+
+The Time Statistics view provides a way to aggregate and view the total estimated time for tasks over different periods. This is useful for understanding your planned workload and for reporting purposes.
+
+## Opening the View
+
+You can open the Time Statistics view in a few ways:
+
+- **Ribbon Icon**: Click the hourglass icon in the left ribbon.
+- **Command Palette**: Open the command palette and search for "Open Time Stats View".
+
+## Features
+
+The view provides a simple interface to calculate the total `timeEstimate` for tasks within a specified date range.
+
+### Quick Ranges
+
+Quickly calculate the total time estimate for predefined ranges:
+
+- **Daily**: Sum of `timeEstimate` for all tasks due or scheduled for the current day.
+- **Weekly**: Sum of `timeEstimate` for the current week.
+- **Monthly**: Sum of `timeEstimate` for the current month.
+- **Yearly**: Sum of `timeEstimate` for the current year.
+
+### Custom Range
+
+You can also select a custom date range:
+
+1.  Use the date pickers to select a **start date** and an **end date**.
+2.  Click the **Fetch** button.
+
+The view will display the total estimated time for all tasks that are due or scheduled within that inclusive range.
+
+### Result
+
+The total aggregated time is displayed in a human-readable format (e.g., "X hours and Y minutes").
