kimai-everyday

A small TUI that turns natural-language recurrence sentences into Kimai timesheet entries.

Type "jeden Tag von 08:00 bis 12:00 und von 13:00 bis 17:00 im Mai außer vom 15. bis 23. Mai" — get a preview of every working day with both time blocks — confirm — done.

See CONTEXT.md for the domain glossary and docs/adr/ for the recorded architectural decisions.

Install

pipx install .

Requires Python 3.11+.

First run

kimai-everyday

On first run, the tool prompts for:

• Kimai base URL (e.g. https://kimai.example.com)
• Kimai API token
• Anthropic API key (or leave blank to use $ANTHROPIC_API_KEY)
• Timezone (defaults to your system timezone)

The token is validated against GET /api/users/me before the config is written. The file is saved to ~/.config/kimai-everyday/config.toml with mode 0600.

Day-to-day

kimai-everyday              # full wizard
kimai-everyday --dry-run    # show the preview, skip the POST step
kimai-everyday config       # update saved settings (URL, tokens, timezone)

The wizard order: Project → Activity → Description → Pattern sentence → Preview table → confirmation → POST loop with progress bar → summary.

Patterns

The sentence is parsed by Claude Haiku. It accepts free-form German or English, including:

• "jeden Tag im Juni von 09:00 bis 17:00 Uhr"
• "Montag bis Donnerstag in der ersten Maiwoche, 08–12 und 13–17"
• "die nächsten zwei Wochen, 9–18 Uhr, außer Pfingstmontag"
• "jeden Werktag im Mai, auch am Samstag den 17."

Weekends and dates returned by Kimai's /api/public-holidays are skipped by default. The user can opt them in with phrases like "auch am Samstag den 17. Mai" or "auch am Tag der Arbeit".

Tests

pip install -e ".[dev]"
pytest

The pure date-filter logic in expansion.py is the only thing worth unit-testing in depth; the rest is shell around external services.
