Terrible Time Tracker

Terrible Time Tracker

Command line tool for tracking time on projects.

Command line based. Works anywhere there is a command line and Python 3 or 2.

Tracks time in a Tab Seperated Value (TSV) file.

Only allows tracking the time of a single in-process task at a time (single user, so you can only work on one task at a time) BUT can track any number of projects/tasks.

Vaguely similar to:

• https://github.com/PFython/time_is_money
• https://github.com/FelixTheC/QT-TimeIsMoney

Features

• mostly works

Anti-Features

I.e. TODO items.

• no summation
• no nice error messages
• no zsh/fish autocomplete of project and task names

py -3 time_tracker.py stop  # stop previously started project/task
