productivity-tracker 0.0.2

Command-line utility for tracking time spent on projects

Tracker Application

tracker is a simple command-line utility for tracking time spent on various projects. It allows you to start and stop sessions, view activity reports, list all projects, and delete projects.

Features

• Start Session: Begin tracking time for a new or existing project.

• Stop Session: End an active session for a project.

• Report Activity: Get analytics for a specific project, including the number of sessions and total time spent.

• List Projects: View all tracked projects.

• Delete Project: Remove a project and all its associated sessions.

Installation

Run:

pip install productivity-tracker

This will install the tracker command globally on your system.

Usage

The tracker command uses subcommands for different operations.

1. Start a Session

   To start tracking time for a project:

   tracker start <project_name>
   

   • If <project_name> does not exist, it will be created.
   • If a session is already active for the specified project, an error will be raised.

2. Stop a Session

   To stop the active session for a project:

   tracker stop <project_name>
   

   • An error will be raised if the project does not exist or if there is no active session for it.

3. Report Activity

   To view analytics for a specific project:

   tracker report <project_name>
   

   • Shows the total number of sessions and the total time spent (in hours) on the project.

4. List Projects

   To see all projects you are tracking:

   tracker list
   

   • Lists all project IDs and names, along with the total number of projects.

5. Delete a Project

   To delete a project and all its associated sessions:

   tracker delete <project_name>
   

   • This action is irreversible. All session data for the project will be removed.

Database

The application uses an SQLite database named projects.db, which will be created automatically in the home directory when you first run any tracker command.

The database schema includes two tables:

• projects: Stores project names and their unique IDs.

  • id: INTEGER PRIMARY KEY
  • name: NOT NULL

• sessions: Stores individual work sessions linked to projects.

  • id: INTEGER PRIMARY KEY
  • project_id: NOT NULL (Foreign Key referencing projects.id)
  • start: datetime NOT NULL
  • end: datetime (NULLable, indicates an active session)

Foreign key constraints with ON DELETE CASCADE are enabled, meaning that deleting a project will automatically delete all its associated sessions.
