devtrackr 0.1.1

Automatic work activity tracker with AI-powered daily Excel reports

Work Tracker

Automatic work activity tracker for macOS — tracks your IDEs, meetings, and browser usage all day, then drops a polished Excel report on your desk at 6 PM with an AI-written summary of your day.

---

What it does

• Tracks time in VS Code, Rider, IntelliJ, Visual Studio, Jupyter, Xcode and more
• Detects meetings in Teams, Zoom, Webex, Skype, Google Meet, Slack huddles
• Knows which project you're in by reading the IDE window title
• Skips idle time — if you step away, it stops counting
• Reads your git commits and links them to the project you worked on
• Generates a daily Excel report at a time you choose (default 6 PM, Mon–Fri)
• AI narrative summary via a local Ollama model — 100% private, no cloud

---

Requirements

• macOS (uses AppleScript and launchd)
• Python 3.9+
• Ollama installed locally (optional, for AI summary)

---

Install

pip install devtrackr

Quick start

devtrackr init

That's it. The wizard asks four questions, then installs and starts the tracker automatically.

[tracker]
