# chronometrist
|
||||
A time tracker in Emacs with a nice interface
|
||||
|
||||
Largely modelled after the Android application, [A Time Tracker](https://github.com/netmackan/ATimeTracker)
|
||||
|
||||
* Benefits
|
||||
1. Extremely simple and efficient to use
|
||||
2. Displays useful information about your time usage
|
||||
3. Support for both mouse and keyboard
|
||||
4. Human errors in tracking are easily fixed by editing a plain text file
|
||||
5. Hooks to let you perform arbitrary actions when starting/stopping tasks
|
||||
|
||||
* Limitations
|
||||
1. No support (yet) for adding a task without clocking into it.
|
||||
2. No support for concurrent tasks.
|
||||
|
||||
**IMPORTANT: with version v0.3, chronometrist no longer uses timeclock as a dependency and will use its own s-expression-based backend. A command to migrate the timeclock-file, `chronometrist-migrate-timelog-file->sexp-file`, is provided.**
|
||||
|
||||
## Comparisons
|
||||
### timeclock.el
|
||||
Compared to timeclock.el, Chronometrist
|
||||
* stores data in an s-expression format rather than a line-based one
|
||||
* supports attaching tags and arbitrary key-values to time intervals
|
||||
* has commands to shows useful summaries
|
||||
* has more hooks (see [Hooks](#Hooks))
|
||||
|
||||
### Org time tracking
|
||||
Chronometrist and Org time tracking seem to be equivalent in terms of capabilities, approaching the same ends through different means.
|
||||
* Chronometrist doesn't have a mode line indicator at the moment. (planned)
|
||||
* Chronometrist doesn't have Org's sophisticated querying facilities. (an SQLite backend is planned)
|
||||
* Org does so many things that keybindings seem to necessarily get longer. Chronometrist has far fewer commands than Org, so most of the keybindings are single keys, without modifiers.
|
||||
* Chronometrist's UI makes keybindings discoverable - they are displayed in the buffers themselves.
|
||||
* Chronometrist's UI is cleaner, since the storage is separate from the display. It doesn't show tasks as trees like Org, but it uses tags and key-values to achieve that. Additionally, navigating a flat list takes fewer user operations than navigating a tree.
|
||||
* Chronometrist data is just s-expressions (plists), and may be easier to parse than a complex text format with numerous use-cases.
|
||||
|
||||
## Installation
|
||||
### from MELPA
|
||||
1. Set up MELPA - https://melpa.org/#/getting-started
|
||||
|
||||
(Chronometrist uses semantic versioning and only releases are pushed to the master branch, so using MELPA Stable is recommended and has no effect on frequency of updates.)
|
||||
2. `M-x package-install RET chronometrist RET`
|
||||
|
||||
### from Git
|
||||
You can get `chronometrist` from https://github.com/contrapunctus-1/chronometrist
|
||||
|
||||
`chronometrist` requires
|
||||
* Emacs v25 or higher
|
||||
* [dash.el](https://github.com/magnars/dash.el)
|
||||
* [ts.el](https://github.com/alphapapa/ts.el)
|
||||
|
||||
The optional extension `chronometrist-key-values` requires `choice.el`, apart from `chronometrist` itself.
|
||||
|
||||
Add the "elisp/" subdirectory to your load-path, and `(require 'chronometrist)`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
In the buffers created by the following three commands, you can press `l` (`chronometrist-open-log`) to view/edit your `chronometrist-file`, which by default is `~/.emacs.d/chronometrist.sexp`.
|
||||
|
||||
All of these commands will kill their buffer when run again with the buffer visible, so the keys you bind them to behave as a toggle.
|
||||
|
||||
### chronometrist
|
||||
Run `M-x chronometrist` to see your projects, the time you spent on them today, which one is active, and the total time clocked today.
|
||||
|
||||
Hit `RET` (`chronometrist-toggle-task`) on a project to start tracking time for it. If it's already clocked in, it will be clocked out. This command runs some [hooks](#Hooks), which are useful for a wide range of functionality (see [Adding more information](#adding-more-information-experimental) below). In some cases, you may want to skip running the hooks - use `M-RET` (`chronometrist-toggle-task-no-hooks`) to do that.
|
||||
|
||||
You can also hit `<numeric prefix> RET` anywhere in the buffer to toggle the corresponding project, e.g. `C-1 RET` will toggle the project with index 1.
|
||||
|
||||
Press `r` to see a weekly report (see `chronometrist-report`)
|
||||
|
||||
`chronometrist` keeps itself updated via an idle timer - no need to frequently press `g` to update.
|
||||
|
||||
### chronometrist-report
|
||||
Run `M-x chronometrist-report` (or `chronometrist` with a prefix argument of 1, or press `r` in the `chronometrist` buffer) to see a weekly report.
|
||||
|
||||
Press `b` to look at past weeks, and `f` for future weeks.
|
||||
|
||||
`chronometrist-report` keeps itself updated via an idle timer - no pressing `g` to update.
|
||||
|
||||
### chronometrist-statistics
|
||||
Run `M-x chronometrist-statistics` (or `chronometrist` with a prefix argument of 2) to view statistics.
|
||||
|
||||
Press `b` to look at past time ranges, and `f` for future ones.
|
||||
|
||||
### Attaching tags and key values
|
||||
Part of the reason Chronometrist stores time intervals as property lists is to allow you to add tags and arbitrary key-values to them.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Tags
|
||||
To be prompted for tags, add `chronometrist-tags-add` to any hook except `chronometrist-before-in-functions`, based on your preference (see [Hooks](#Hooks)). The prompt suggests past combinations you used for the current task, which you can browse with `M-p`/`M-n`. You can leave it blank by pressing `RET`, or skip the prompt just this once by pressing `M-RET` (`chronometrist-toggle-task-no-hooks`).
|
||||
|
||||
#### Key-value pairs
|
||||
Similarly, to be prompted for key-values, add `chronometrist-kv-add` to any hook except `chronometrist-before-in-functions`. To exit the prompt, press the key it indicates for quitting - you can then edit the resulting key-values by hand if required. Press `C-c C-c` to accept the key-values, or `C-c C-k` to cancel.
|
||||
|
||||
### Prompt when exiting Emacs
|
||||
If you wish to be prompted when you exit Emacs while tracking time, you can use this -
|
||||
|
||||
`(add-hook 'kill-emacs-query-functions 'chronometrist-query-stop)`
|
||||
|
||||
### Time goals/targets
|
||||
If you wish you could define time goals for some tasks, and have Chronometrist notify you when you're approaching the goal, completing it, or exceeding it, check out the extension [chronometrist-goal.el](https://github.com/contrapunctus-1/chronometrist-goal/).
|
||||
|
||||
## Customization
|
||||
See the Customize groups `chronometrist` and `chronometrist-report` for variables intended to be user-customizable.
|
||||
|
||||
### Hooks
|
||||
Chronometrist currently has the following hooks -
|
||||
1. `chronometrist-mode-hook`
|
||||
2. `chronometrist-before-in-functions`
|
||||
3. `chronometrist-after-in-functions`
|
||||
4. `chronometrist-before-out-functions`
|
||||
5. `chronometrist-after-out-functions`
|
||||
6. `chronometrist-list-format-transformers`
|
||||
7. `chronometrist-entry-transformers`
|
||||
8. `chronometrist-file-change-hook`
|
||||
|
||||
The hooks whose names end with `-functions` are abnormal hooks - each function must accept exactly one argument, which is the name of the project which is being started or stopped, as a string.
|
||||
|
||||
`chronometrist-before-out-functions` is different from the other three, in that it runs until failure - the task will be clocked out only if all functions in this hook return `t`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Opening certain files when you start a task
|
||||
An idea from the author's own init -
|
||||
|
||||
```elisp
|
||||
(defun my-start-project (project)
|
||||
(pcase project
|
||||
("Guitar"
|
||||
(find-file-other-window "~/repertoire.org"))
|
||||
;; ...
|
||||
))
|
||||
|
||||
(add-hook 'chronometrist-before-in-functions 'my-start-project)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Reminding you to commit your changes
|
||||
Another one, prompting the user if they have uncommitted changes in a git repository (assuming they use [Magit](https://magit.vc/)) -
|
||||
|
||||
```elisp
|
||||
(autoload 'magit-anything-modified-p "magit")
|
||||
|
||||
(defun my-commit-prompt ()
|
||||
"Prompt user if `default-directory' is a dirty Git repository.
|
||||
Return t if the user answers yes, if the repository is clean, or
|
||||
if there is no Git repository.
|
||||
|
||||
Return nil (and run `magit-status') if the user answers no."
|
||||
(cond ((not (magit-anything-modified-p)) t)
|
||||
((yes-or-no-p
|
||||
(format "You have uncommitted changes in %S. Really clock out? "
|
||||
default-directory)) t)
|
||||
(t (magit-status) nil)))
|
||||
|
||||
(add-hook 'chronometrist-before-out-functions 'my-commit-prompt)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Displaying the current time interval in the activity indicator
|
||||
```elisp
|
||||
(defun my-activity-indicator ()
|
||||
(thread-last (plist-put (chronometrist-last)
|
||||
:stop (chronometrist-format-time-iso8601))
|
||||
list
|
||||
chronometrist-events-to-durations
|
||||
(-reduce #'+)
|
||||
truncate
|
||||
chronometrist-format-time))
|
||||
|
||||
(setq chronometrist-activity-indicator #'my-activity-indicator)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Roadmap/Ideas
|
||||
* Show details for time spent on a project when clicking on a non-zero "time spent" field (in both Chronometrist and Chronometrist-Report buffers).
|
||||
|
||||
### chronometrist
|
||||
1. Use `make-thread` in v26 or the emacs-async library for `chronometrist-entries`/`chronometrist-report-entries`
|
||||
2. Some way to update buffers every second without making Emacs unusable. (impossible?)
|
||||
3. "Day summary" - for users who use the "reason" feature to note the specifics of their actual work. Combine the reasons together to create a descriptive overview of the work done in the day.
|
||||
|
||||
### chronometrist-statistics
|
||||
1. Show range counter and max ranges; don't scroll past first/last time ranges
|
||||
2. activity-specific - average time spent in $TIMEPERIOD, average days worked on in $TIMEPERIOD, current/longest/last streak, % of $TIMEPERIOD, % of active (tracked) time in $TIMEPERIOD, ...
|
||||
3. general - most productive $TIMEPERIOD, GitHub-style work heatmap calendar, ...
|
||||
4. press 1 for weekly stats, 2 for monthly, 3 for yearly
|
||||
|
||||
### Miscellaneous
|
||||
1. README - add images
|
||||
2. [-] Create test timelog file and UI behaviour tests
|
||||
3. Use for `chronometrist-report-weekday-number-alist` whatever variables like `initial-frame-alist` use to get that fancy Custom UI for alists.
|
||||
4. Multi-timelog-file support?
|
||||
5. [inflatable raptor](https://github.com/MichaelMure/git-bug/#planned-features)
|
||||
|
||||
## Contributions and contact
|
||||
Feedback and MRs are very welcome. 🙂
|
||||
* [TODO.org](TODO.org) has a long list of tasks
|
||||
* [doc/manual.org](doc/manual.org) contains an overview of the codebase, explains various mechanisms and decisions, and has a reference of definitions.

The hooks whose names end with =-functions= are abnormal hooks - each function must accept exactly one argument, which is the name of the project which is being started or stopped, as a string.
|
||||
|
||||
=chronometrist-before-out-functions= is different from the other three, in that it runs until failure - the task will be clocked out only if all functions in this hook return =t=.

I dream of a world where all software is liberated - transparent, trustable, and accessible for anyone to use or improve. But I don't want to make demands or threats (e.g. via legal conditions) to get there.
|
||||
|
||||
I'd rather make a request - please do everything you can to help that dream come true. Please Unlicense as much software as you can.
