NAME


gtimelog - minimal time logging application

SYNOPSYS


gtimelog [options]

DESCRIPTION


gtimelog provides a time tracking application to allow the user to track what they work on
during the day and how long they spend doing it.

Here's how it works: every day, when you arrive to work, start up gtimelog and type
"arrived". Then start doing some activity (e.g. reading mail, or working on a task).
Whenever you stop doing an activity (either when you have finished it, or when you switch
to working on something else), type the name of the activity into the gtimelog prompt.
Try to use the same text if you make several entries for an activity (history helps here —
just use the up and down arrow keys). The key principle is to name the activity after
you've stopped working on it, and not when you've started. Of course you can type the
activity name upfront, and just delay pressing the Enter key until you're done.

There are two broad categories of activities: ones that count as work (coding, planning,
writing proposals or reports, answering work-related email), and ones that don't (browsing
the web for fun, reading personal email, chatting with a friend on the phone for two
hours, going out for a lunch break). To indicate which activities are not work related
add two asterisks to the activity name:

lunch **
browsing slashdot **
napping on the couch **

If you want some activity (or non-activity) to be completely omitted from the reports, use
three asterisks:

break ***

gtimelog displays all the things you've done today, calculates the total time you spent
working, and the total time you spent "slacking". It also advises you how much time you
still have to work today to get 8 hours of work done. There are two basic views: one
shows all the activities in chronological order, with starting and ending times, while
another groups all entries with the same into one activity and just shows the total
duration.

At the end of the day you can send off a daily report by choosing Report -> Daily Report.
A mail program (Mutt in a terminal, unless you have changed it in ~/.gtimelog/gtimelogrc
or ~/.config/gtimelog/gtimelogrc) will be started with all the activities listed in it.

If you make a mistake and type in the wrong activity name, or just forget to enter an
activity, don't worry. gtimelog stores the time log in a simple plain text file
~/.gtimelog/timelog.txt (or ~/.local/share/gtimelog/timelog.txt). Every line contains a
timestamp and the name of the activity that was finished at the time. All other lines are
ignored, so you can add comments if you want to — just make sure no comment begins with a
timestamp. You do not have to worry about gtimelog overwriting your changes — gtimelog
always appends entries at the end of the file, and does not keep the log file open all the
time. You do have to worry about overwriting changes made by gtimelog with your editor —
make sure you do not enter any activities in gtimelog while you have timelog.txt open in a
text editor.
