Description
-----------
Tiempo is a command-line time tracker. Register the start and end times of your
activities and get results by day, week, month or custom periods of time in
different formats, including custom ones.
You can also group your entries by 'sheet' to organize different
projects/clients/etc.

**New in 1.4.0**
It might be the case that you want to use one default formatter for when you use
``t week`` and a different one for ``t month`` or ``t today``. That's what per-command
default formatters are for. To use them just add a ``commands`` section to your
config file and set ``default_formatter`` on some formatters. This is what it
would look like:
**In toml**
.. code:: toml
[commands.week]
default_formatter = "chart"
[commands.month]
default_formatter = "ical"
**In yaml**
.. code:: yaml
commands:
week:
default_formatter: chart
month:
default_formatter: ical
Files and paths
---------------
.. note::
explain the config file, and database path
Specifying times
----------------
Some arguments accept a time as value, like ``t in``'s ``--at`` or ``t d --start``.
These are the accepted formats:
**Something similar to ISO format** will be parsed as a time in the computer's
timezone.
* ``2021-01-13`` a date
* ``2019-05-03 11:13`` a date with portions of a time
**ISO format with offset or UTC** will be parsed as a time in the specified
timezone. Use ``Z`` for ``UTC`` and an offset for everything else
* ``2021-01-13Z``
* ``2005-10-14 19:20:35+05:00``
**something that looks like an hour** will be parsed as a time in the current
day in the computer's timezone. Add ``Z`` or an offset to specify the timezone.
* ``11:30``
* ``23:50:45`` (with seconds)
**some human times**, for now restricted to time ago:
* ``an hour ago``
* ``a minute ago``
* ``50 min ago``
* ``1h30m ago``
* ``two hours thirty minutes ago``
Default formatters
------------------
Tiempo comes with a handful of formatters that display your entries in different
ways. Here's the full list.
chart
.....
(New in 1.4.0) Displays a nice chart of the weekly progress:
.. code:: text
Date Day Chart Hours
Sep 5 Mon ####### 3.8
6 Tue #### 2.3
7 Wed ####### 3.9
8 Thu 0.0
9 Fri ######### 4.5
10 Sat ######### 4.7
11 Sun 0.0
Week 19.3/20.0
**Settings**
By default this formatter will only display a nice chart of the progress divided
by week and respecting the ``week_start`` setting. However you may specify a daily
goal and a weekly goal to customize the chart, as well as how many minutes each
character represents:
In toml:
.. code:: toml
[formatters.chart]
daily_goal_hours = 4
weekly_goal_hours = 20
character_equals_minutes = 30
In yaml:
.. code:: yaml
formatters:
chart:
daily_goal_hours: 4
weekly_goal_hours: 20
character_equals_minutes: 30
text
....
Displays nicely the entries grouped by sheet and day. This is the default
formatter. Pass ``-v`` to also reveal each entry's id:
.. code:: text
Timesheet: foo
Day Start End Duration Notes

ical
....
This formatter's output can be redirected to a file and then uploaded to a
calendar app:

csv
...
Dump the entries as CSV to stdout. Useful for passing entries to a different
tool. Pass ``-v`` to add an ``id`` column.
.. code:: text

json
....
Dump the entries in JSON format:
.. code:: json
[{"id":10,"note":"write tiempo's docs","start":"2022-09-20T13:09:58.805280283Z","end":"2022-09-20T13:40:13.837994932Z","sheet":"foo"},{"id":11,"note":"work on pizarra.categulario.xyz","start":"2022-09-20T13:41:01.478854071Z","end":"2022-09-20T14:11:20.461322041Z","sheet":"foo"}]
ids
...
Dump only the ids in a single line:
.. code:: text
2196 2197 2198 2199 2200 2201
Custom formatters
-----------------
You can implement your own formatters for all subcommands that display entries
(like ``t display``, ``t week`` etc.). It is as easy as creating an executable file
written in any programming language (interpreted or compiled) and placing it in
a path listed in the config value for ``formatter_search_paths``.
This executable will be given as standard input a csv stream with each row
representing a time entry with the same structure as the ``csv`` formatter output.
It will also be given a command line argument representing user settings for
this formatter stored in the config file and formatted as JSON.
Example
.......
Suppose we have this config file:
.. code:: toml
database_file = "/home/user/.config/tiempo/database.sqlite3"
round_in_seconds = 900
append_notes_delimiter = " "
formatter_search_paths = ["/home/user/.config/tiempo/formatters"]
default_formatter = "text"
auto_sheet = "dotfiles"
auto_sheet_search_paths = ["/home/user/.config/tiempo/auto_sheets"]
auto_checkout = false
require_note = true
week_start = "Monday"
[formatters.earnings]
hourly_rate = 300
currency = "USD"
then we can create the ``earnings`` formatter by placing the following file in
``/home/user/.config/tiempo/formatters/earnings`` and making it executable:
.. code:: python
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import sys, json, csv
from datetime import datetime, timezone, timedelta
from math import ceil
# Settings for this formatter passed as the first argument
config = json.loads(sys.argv[1])
reader = csv.DictReader(
sys.stdin, # entries are received from stdin
fieldnames=['id', 'start', 'end', 'note', 'sheet'],
)
total = timedelta(seconds=0)
for line in reader:
# times are formatted as ISO format
start = datetime.strptime(line['start'], '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%fZ')
# entries that are still running don't have a value in the 'end' column
if not line['end']:
end = datetime.utcnow()
else:
end = datetime.strptime(line['end'], '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%fZ')
total += end - start
hours = total.total_seconds() / 3600
# use the settings
earnings = hours * config['hourly_rate']
currency = config['currency']
print(f'You have earned: ${earnings:.2f} {currency}')
Now if you run ``t display -f earnings`` you will get something like:
.. code:: text
You have earned: 2400 USD
