[Feature request] Calendar-like pre-scheduled activities

[1over137]

I track a lot of things which are really the same every day or several days a week. It would be nice to be able to pre-schedule them to avoid having to interact with the phone to record every activity change.

Just as a suggestion, you can store the predefined activity start times similar to crontab strings

# ┌───────────── minute (0–59)
# │ ┌───────────── hour (0–23)
# │ │ ┌───────────── day of the month (1–31)
# │ │ │ ┌───────────── month (1–12)
# │ │ │ │ ┌───────────── day of the week (0–6) (Sunday to Saturday)
# │ │ │ │ │                                   
# │ │ │ │ │
# │ │ │ │ │
# * * * * * [activity]

Example:

0 22 * * * sleep # Sleep from 22 every day
0 9 * * 1-5 work # Work from 9 every Monday-Friday

Simple Time Tracker is a time tracking application, it's purpose is to facilitate data entry as much as possible. But I don't understand how automating this data entry matches the scope of the application.

• Why would this help you better track your time?

If you have an activity which is the same every day or many days a week, isn't it more convenient to have them be there already rather than remembering to change the activity all the time? My and probably many others' end goal is not data entry per se, but rather to view statistics of how I spent my time. It would be better if the process is easier.
