Sway Toggl

This is some helpful utilities for sway and toggl track, namely it does:

Send a tracking reminder at a regular interval if you're not tracking your time. By default this is every 5 minutes but can be configured (see below)
Send timeline data to toggl's API, based on what you've got focused in sway. So in case you forgot to track you can figure it out based on what you were doing on your computer.

Print waybar custom module compatible json so you can show if/what you're tracking. Example module:

{
  "custom/toggl": {
    "format": "󰐥",
    "return-type": "json",
    "exec": "node /home/sbe/test/sway-toggl/dist/index.js",
    "on-click": "xdg-open https://track.toggl.com",
    "escape": true
  },
}

and suggested css:

#custom-toggl {
  padding: 0 10px 0 8px;
  margin: 0 0px;
  color: @cl_fore;
}
#custom-toggl.disabled {
  background-color: @cl_urge;
  color: @cl_fore;
}

Configuration

This module uses the same .togglrc as https://toggl.uhlir.dev/, placed either in ~/.togglrc or in the XDG config directory (most likely ~/.config/.togglrc).

You need to set an authentication method in the [auth] section, either api_token, or username and password. This can also be provided with ENV variables TOGGL_API_TOKEN, TOGGL_USERNAME, and TOGGL_PASSWORD respectively.

You can also configure idle_notify_interval_seconds and under the [options] section to tweak how often the notification is sent when you're not tracking.

This script will also add a desktop_id UUID under the [options] section, this is needed to attribute your timeline data to the right device.

So, for example

[auth]
api_token = asdasdasda

[options]
desktop_id = 733a53e7-9311-4975-a276-bdacff742f57
idle_notify_interval_seconds = 300
