Timetracking

Simple command line time tracking application I wrote to keep track of how many hours I already spent working in a week.

Install

cargo install timetracking

Commandline

``` USAGE: tt [OPTIONS] [SUBCOMMAND]

FLAGS: -h, --help Prints help information -V, --version Prints version information

OPTIONS: -d, --data-file which data file to use. [default: ~/timetracking.bin]

SUBCOMMANDS: continue continue time tracking with last description export export data to file help Prints this message or the help of the given subcommand(s) import import data from json file list list all entries path show path to data file show show work time for given timespan start start time tracking status show info from the latest entry. Returns the exit code 0, if the time tracking is currently active and -1 if not stop stop time tracking ```

Example Usage

Start tracking: tt start

Stop tracking: tt stop

Show work time of the current day: tt show

Show work time of the current week: tt show week

List all entries for the current day: tt list

Export to json: tt export backup.json

Import from json: tt import backup.json

Config

tt supports global config (~/.config/timetracking/config.toml), project config (timetracking.project.toml) and local config (.timetracking.toml).

The following settings are supported: ```toml

the file where to save the events

data_file = "~/timetracking.bin"

if true, calling start when already running inserts a stop event and a start event.

autoinsertstop = false

if true, tt will recursively search parent dirs for project settings

enableprojectsettings = true

minimum amount of minutes of break time per day.

if you have less than this amount of break per day,

the calculation will automatically add the additional

break time needed to get to this number

mindailybreak = 0

set the daily time goal

[time_goal.daily]

work hours to reach in a work day (0-24)

hours = 8

work minutes to reach in a work day (0-59)

minutes = 0

set the weekly time goal

[time_goal.weekly]

work hours to reach in a work week (0-168)

hours = 40

work minutes to reach in a work week (0-59)

minutes = 0 ```

The order in which config files are read is: - global - project - local

Configs override earlier loaded configs.

Project configs are special and will be search recursively upwards, starting from the current directory. So if your in /a/b/c the search order will be: - /a/b/c/timetracking.project.toml - /a/b/timetracking.project.toml - /a/timetracking.project.toml - /timetracking.project.toml

Project configs can be disabled in the global config file.

Starship

You can use the following snippet to show how much you worked today, while the time tracking is running.

Just add it to your starship config (e.g.: ~/.config/starship.toml) yml [custom.worktime] command = """ tt show --format "{h}h {mm}m" """ when = "tt status" shell = "sh"

This is how it looks like:

Data Format

The data format is a bincode encoded vector of TrackingEvent, which can either be a start or stop event, containing the DateTime when the event happened and an optional description. If you want to use this data in a 3rd party application, you can export the data to json with tt export data.json.
