WhenDoYouFinish

A single page app that uses Toggl to display an estimated finishing time based on fixed working hours written in PHP.

If you are working remotely and frequently get the following questions throughout your working day:

When do you finish? How much longer do you have left? What time do you finish?

Then WhenDoYouFinish will allow you to divert that question leaving you to carry on with your work uninterrupted. Simply direct your spouse/child/friend/goldfish at your WhenDoYouFinish page and let them find out for themselves.

How it works?

WhenDoYouFinish uses the entries (recorded and running) from your Toggl account to provide a total amount of time worked, this time worked is compared against a fixed working day length to provide an estimated finish.

In order to be able to run your own WhenDoYouFinish page you'll need a:

Free Toggl account (or paid)
Machine running PHP 8.0 (or later)
Fixed workday length (i.e. 7.5 hours)
Knowledge of running commands from a terminal

PHP Built-in Server

One of the simplest ways to start your WhenDoYouFinish instance is to use PHP's Built-in web server which can be done from the root of your WhenDoYouFinish/ directory.

php -S 0.0.0.0:8080

Usage

With your instance up and running you can then access the page on port 8080 at your machine's local IP address i.e. http://192.168.0.42:8080.

If you are unsure of your machine's IP address you can use a command like hostname to find it out:

hostname -I
