trackthetime

A time tracker

Yet another time tracker which runs from commandline.

Super simple to use. Easy reporting.

Installation

npm i -g trackthetime

Usage

To track you time per project use the following format

ttt <project> <description>

e.g.

ttt coding yet some other lines of code

This adds a line to the ttt.log file in ~/.config/ttt/. Specify your <project> without using spaces. <description> may take as much spaces as you like.

If you like to add a line in the past, use (assume it's 17:00h):

ttt 11:00 meeting with smart people

If you got interrupted at 10:30 by a phone call of 30 min

ttt 10:30 +30 phone Mr. Burns calling

To track your breaks:

ttt p

Continue with previous task:

ttt c

To track your working end

ttt e

Then check what you have done today with:

ttt

If you have been on vacation at 24th of December

ttt 12-24 vacation

or sick the day after new year...

ttt 01-02 sick

If you like to change your entries, edit the file:

ttt -e

If your entries have gone out of order, sort it:

ttt -s

To quickly check your last entries:

ttt -l

Configuration

Configuration can be changed with:

ttt --config

{
  "daily": 8,     // daily working hours
  "weekly": 40,   // weekly working hours
  "editor": "vi", // (optional) your commandline editor of choice
                  // if unset then EDITOR env var is used
}

Reporting

Reporting can be done per day, week, month. Switches are -d, -w, -m.
If you like to get reports from a certain project use the -p switch.

To report all projects of the current week, type:

ttt -w -p

To report all meetings of the current month, type (you need to have typed ttt meeting previously):

ttt -m -p meeting

To report all meetings of the current month including breaks:

ttt -m -p meeting,pause

To restrict reporting to a certain timeframe, e.g. only last week use

ttt -w -t 1week

To report restrict your projects to everything except 'meetings':

ttt -m -p *,-meeting,pause
