freck is a command-line tool that makes it easy to enter data to Freckle.
The first time you run it, freck will prompt you for your account details and current project. Then logging your time is as easy as:
freck 2h
or
freck 6h "debugging the frobnicator"
You can add tags as well:
freck "2 days" refactoring spifflication "refactoring the spifflication engine"
As usual with Freckle, an argument that is two words or fewer is treated as a tag, and longer arguments are treated as description.
If you work on more than one project concurrently, you can specify the
project name using the -p option. You can even create new projects
right from the command line using -c, which tells freck to create
the named project if it doesn’t already exist.
If your project has standard tags that need to be applied to most of your tasks,
you can specify a default set of tags that will be included unless overridden
with the -t option.
freck has no library dependencies. It requires only Python 2.6 or later, present by default on current Linux and Mac distributions. Installation is as simple as downloading the script to your bin directory and marking it executable, e.g.
curl -Lo ~/bin/freck https://github.com/robinhouston/freckle-command/raw/master/freck
chmod 755 ~/bin/freck
Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--version print version number and exit
-l, --list-projects list all available projects
-t TAGS, --tags=TAGS additional tags, overriding the default if any
-d DATE, --date=DATE the date this task was done, if not today: yyyy-mm-dd
-u USER, --user=USER email address of user to record time for, if not you
-p PROJECT, --project=PROJECT
the name of the project. If you have specified a
default you can miss this out
-c, --create create the project if it does not exist
-v, --verbose print detailed logging messages
-s, --silent print no informational messages
