KaseLab

Simple command-line time tracking, designed for freelance designers/developers.

Outputs a tab-separated time report for easy import to spreadsheet software.

Installation

Requirements

• node 4+ (0.10+)
• npm 3+

No database requirements. KaseLab works with a single static file, ~/.kaselab.conf.json. Good practice would be to back this up regularly.

Installing

npm install -g kaselab

Usage

-> % kaselab new project BestWebApp
Any project reference? [no] myClient-002
Any client? [no] myClient
Does client have its own reference? [no]
Successfully created BestWebApp and set it as the active project

-> % kaselab use myClient-001
Successfully set active project to myClient-001

-> % kaselab timer start
Started timer on myClient-001

-> % kaselab timer stop

What about broken time?

Sometimes I forget to start or stop a timer. In this case, you can just edit ~/.kaselab.conf.json and correct the mistakes.
