jurn 📝🦄

A tool for logging work progress throughout the week. Features tags and pretty output. Log entries stored in a local sqlite database.

Installation

pip install jurn

Writing Entries

jurn log -m 'Wrangled cats via lasso.'

Tagging

You can add tags to logs for hierarchical organization and display.

jurn log -m 'Wrangled cats via lasso.' -t 'Physical Fitness'

You can tab complete within the tag option. For example, if you typed in:

jurn log -m 'Wrangled cats via lasso.' -t 'Physical <TAB>

jurn would return the following bash-style autocomplete suggestions based on your history of previously used tags:

Physical Fitness
Physical Security

This helps ensure youre messages stay organized.

NOTE: To enable autocompletion, you must add this to your ~/.bashrc.

eval "$(_JURN_COMPLETE=bash_source jurn)"

If using other shells, please reference the Click documentation for the specific line you need to add.

You can also have subcategories by tagging with #, e.g.

jurn log -m 'Wrangled cats via lasso.' -t 'Physical Fitness#Cardio'

Database

The jurn database is stored in the following location by default:

~/.jurn/jurn.db

You can override this with the --db-path <folder path> --db-filename <filename> options.

Early End

The --early-end option bypasses jurn from executing if the specified amount of time has not passed since the last entry:

jurn --early-end 60 log -t

This option may be useful to supress jurn prompting too frequently if adding to a .bashrc file or schedule. For example, the above example command inserted into a .bashrc file will remind you to log your work with jurn only if at 60 minutes have passed since the last log entry.
