Medor is a time tracking tool. I've never found a time tracking tool that did exactly what I needed, so I wrote my own.
I also use it as a pretext to teach myself about some things I don't know yet (dbus, boost libraries, ...). So I'm not sure this can be useful for anyone else, but feel free to try it out.
- Live tracking with periodical system notifications (freedesktop.org notifications)
- Integration with git and hg: warnings when activity happens in a non-active project
- Generation of weekly reports with daily per-project summary
- Possibility to integrate with dmenu/rofi for easy and cumberless project switching

medord is a service which exposes dbus objects to control the time tracker.
medor is a CLI to control medord.
# In the hg repo to be linked with project Foo
medor repo $(hg root) Foo
[hooks]
commit = medor repo $(hg root)
update = medor repo $(hg root)
# on any hook you like
Can be done per project in .git/hooks, and can be set up in the templates for each new project with for example:
# In the git repo to be linked with project Foo
medor repo $(git rev-parse --show-toplevel) Foo
git config --global init.templatedir '~/.git-templates'
mkdir -p ~/.git-templates/hooks
git init # in every existing project, to add the new hook template
Then in the hooks themselves (e.g. ~/.git-templates/hooks/pre-commit), use
medor repo $(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)
- CLI to show linked repo of projects
- Inactivity detection: pause on sleep / suspend, possibly based on input inactivity.
- Warnings when stopped on a weekday during work hours?
- Add an optional comment field to activities?
- Interface to edit / delete activities / add past activities (GUI? let's go nuts)
- Add a way to get help about individual commands (a "help" command?).
- Verify concurrency in SQLite
- Add a manpage
- Provide .service file (and dbus policy conf?)
