org-dump-logs

A small Python script to collect the log items from your org files and write them in chronological order in org-diary-like manner.

Given this file:

* Project A

** DONE Task 1

:LOGBOOK:
- Note taken on [2018-01-01 Mon 20:00] \\
  Started working on the task.
- State "DONE" from "TODO" [2018-01-01 Mon 21:00] \\
  Wasn't that hard.
:END:

* Project B

** TODO Task 2

:LOGBOOK:
- Note taken on [2018-01-02 Tue 20:00] \\
  This task will have to wait.
:END:

This script produces this file:

* 2018

** 2018-01 January

*** 2018-01-01 Monday

- =Task 1/Project A=
  Note taken on [2018-01-01 Mon 20:00] \\
  Started working on the task.
- =Task 1/Project A=
  State "DONE" from "TODO" [2018-01-01 Mon 21:00] \\
  Wasn't that hard.

*** 2018-01-02 Tuesday

- =Task 2/Project B=
  Note taken on [2018-01-02 Tue 20:00] \\
  This task will have to wait.

Or with SMART_FORMAT set to True:

* 2018

** 2018-01 January

*** 2018-01-01 Monday

- [2018-01-01 Mon 20:00] Note =Task 1/Project A=
  Started working on the task.
- [2018-01-01 Mon 21:00] "DONE" =Task 1/Project A=
  Wasn't that hard.

*** 2018-01-02 Tuesday

- [2018-01-02 Tue 20:00] Note =Task 2/Project B=
  This task will have to wait.
