A simple CLI work timer written in Python.
This started as a pet project to get familiar with developing cli applications. My intentions was to create something that I would use myself and not just a random prototype. As it turned out, I use this work timer on a daily basis (on work days). It is very simple. It doesn't support projects, since I am only working in one project. So, it is merely to track my daily work time. It also doesn't alert you, when your work time is over or anything similar. It is just a tool to create timestamps when you started or stopped/paused and tracks your overall work time.
Some features that are intended to be developed in the future are listed below. Additional features might occur on this list, when I have the need for them.
app.py start # starts the session
app.py stop # stops or pauses the session
app.py show # shows your current progress
app.py week # shows worktime per day for the current week
app.py start/stop --delta INTEGER # sets timestamp x minutes earlier
app.py timestamps "YYYY-MM-DD" # lists timestamps for date, default is today
app.py delete INTEGER # deletes timestamp by id
app.py add "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS" <event> ("start"/"stop") # adds timestamp
app.py --help
