PIKATOCK

Tiny time tracking

What is this?

Keep a plain text log file like so:

2016-08-22
0900-0930 warm up : waving the arms
0930-1030 warm up : waving the legs
1230-1700 rest of the day : not doing the work
1700-1730 rest of the day : maybe do a little bit of work

And then get a nice summed up tree of times as output:

6.5
    5.0 rest of the day
        4.5 not doing the work
        0.5 maybe do a little bit of work
    1.5 warm up
        1.0 waving the legs
        0.5 waving the arms

Skip the repeated bits

The previous log can also be written:

2016-08-22
0900-0930 warm up : waving the arms
    -1030         : waving the legs
1230-1700 rest of the day : not doing the work
    -1730                 : maybe do a little bit of work

and the missing elements will be filled from the previous line.

Building

cabal build should do it.

Usage

Use me with an input file like this:

pikatock input.time

To do

A new flag --exclude to exclude certain tree elements.
A new flag --depth to only print to a certain depth.
A new flag --daily to print a set of days individually.
Support for passing in multiple time files and also directories to scan recursively.
