  • A Powerful Node.JS CLI Time Tracker ⏱️🚀

    After using Ruby's timetrap (sadly no longer maintained) for many years, I realized there was no equivalent in the Node.JS ecosystem, so I decided to build one.
  • Ask HN: What are good self hosted time tracking software for consultants?
    18 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 16 Dec 2022
    I have used TimeTrap (https://github.com/samg/timetrap) for years. I have it installed on a dev/utility server I have hosted in the cloud. I use JuiceSSH on my android phone to run quick check in and check out scripts. While I'm at my workstation I have a terminal open that is SSHed into my VM. One of the panels in tmux is using a watch command to monitor my time. Purely just a time tracking function so I can't generate invoices or anything like that.
  • Looking for recommendations for macOS app for multiple timers for time tracking

    You might be able to do this with timetrap. It is a command-line utility which uses the concept of "timesheets". So, each of your timers A, B, C, can be a timesheet and you can use text commands to start/stop/display etc.

    I just wanted to share a project I'm working on for all those who use the timetrap timetracker : a neovim plugin called timetrap.nvim.
  • Show HN: Time tracking with plain text files

    The conceptual difference is the file format, as with klog the main idea is to have a format that looks and feels “natural”. So when opening a `.klg` file you don’t need to know much about the format in order to make sense of it, yet the data can be parsed and processed. And you can type in the entries by hand in a text editor. The data format in timewarrior is more opaque, even though it’s still plain text of course.

    There are, by the way, also cool projects that use sqlite as underlying datastore, like https://github.com/samg/timetrap , which produces a similar output as timewarrior.
