sw - a very simple work tracker

Usage

Run sw <project_name> [minutes] on the command line to start counting time for this project (optionally minutes ago). Run sws to get a summary of the time you spent on projects, summarised for all time and for today.

All data will be saved in a very simple plain text file named ~/.sw.

Take a break

The project names mp (Mittagspause - lunch break) and fa (Feierabend - after-work hours) are reserved and will not be counted.

Bash completion

Put sw-bash_completion into /etc/bash_completion.d/ and sw <tab> will show all projects in the current ~/.sw file.

Example output

sw produces no output. sws produces something like this:
