emacs-utimeclock VS emacs-mode-line-idle

Recently I've been keeping track of time I've worked using this very simple format: time: 8:58-12:10 1:30-5:00 5:20-6:00 Typically a day‍ fits easily on a single line, with the advantage that it's not a major mode and can be ancient with modes such as (ORG, reStructuredText, MarkDown... etc). I keep this in the same document I maintain my work log. Recently I extracted this functionality into a package to clock in/out, and reports a summary of the last time: as well as accumulating all available times (which I use to show the time worked in a week). Link to the utimeclock repo. Locally I have the mode-line display the accumulated time for the day & week which I quite like. Although this would need some more work to split out from my init file (see this question) since it's piggy backing on which-function. ---- Before creating the package I checked on other time tracking utilities, as far as I can tell they're more verbose, and don't fit so easily into editing a text document which happens to contain a time log. Feedback welcome.

Check out utimeclock I use this for logging & accumulating my work hours.

Personally, I use this with utimeclock to keep track of how many hours I've worked for the day & week.

Further, if you have a complex mode-line, you could consider using an idle timer (this package makes it convenient https://gitlab.com/ideasman42/emacs-mode-line-idle/ to do).
