Samay

Command line Time tracking and reporting

Why?

  • I never find time tracker that I like to use.(classical right?)
  • Terminal is always open when my laptop is open.
  • I wanted to learn Go(programming language)
  • Also wanted to learn protocol buffers.

So, here it is.

Command line based time tracker built with Go(programming language) and protocol buffers.

Samay?

Samay is a hindi word for Time.

Unique features (not so much in reality)

  • Command line based simple interface
  • Uses simple files to store data.
  • Store files in Dropbox(detects dropbox folder)
  • Reasonably fast.
  • Basic reporting (monthly)

Examples

Start/Stop timer

$ samay start -p "Project Name"
$ samay start "Project Name"
$ samay start MyProject 
...
$ samay stop -p "Project Name" -m "worked on Samay Readme"
$ samay stop MyProject 

if you don't specify -m it will open your $EDITOR to enter message and close editor to finish.

Directly log hours

$ samay entry -p "Project Name" -d 1.5h -m "worked on Samay examples"

A duration string is a possibly signed sequence of decimal numbers, each with optional fraction and a unit suffix, such as "300m", "1.5h" or "2h45m". Valid time units are "s", "m", "h".

$ samay entry MyProject -d 30m

Twitter style #hashtags are supported in log message, example message: "Some time spent in #project #management" that will create two tags "project" and "management" for that entry

This will open editor window to enter log message.

Reporting

$ samay report

Reporting with web interface

This will open system web browser (on mac os x using open) and show all projects in tabbed interface.

Web interface 1 Web interface 2 Web interface 3

To add non billable hours

or

You can always skip -m option it will open $EDITOR

Caveats

  • If your Dropbox has folder named "Samay" in dropbox root, do not run this utility before renaming that folder to something else.
  • This software comes with NO WARRANTIES.
