Your tips for time recording in emacs?

• org-clock-convenience

  2 115 3.2 Emacs Lisp

  Convenience functions to work with emacs org mode clocking

Sounds like org-mode is what you need, particularly clocking like was mentioned in another comment. However your workflow requires lots of customization. Ultimately you need to take a deeper dive into org-mode and what it can do(and how), along with org-clock-convenience with maybe org-journal. Your starting point should always be agenda, not the .org file itself.

• org-journal

• xidle

  1 1 0.0 Rust

On Linux/Xorg, you need to install a program called x11idle (probably from xprintidle package, see the doc for org-clock-x11idle-program-name variable). Personally, for fun I wrote my own dynamic module to replace it. On MacOS looks like it needs something like ioreg and perl to be installed. Additionally, you have to set org-clock-idle-time to a non-nil value. Consult the doc for that variable.
