A tiny tool for freelancers and contractors for tracking time and calculating invoices.

Rep is a tiny tool for freelancers and contractors to track time and calculate invoices. It's written primarily based on my experience and process so it definitely won't work for all of you out there. However, some of you might still find it useful.

At the moment, Rep can:

• Track time
• Take notes
• Calculate invoices

Approach

Rep uses logs to track time and group notes. It's a very simple approach that I used to use with pen and paper.

For example, this is a single log:

Nov 4 2020 14:00 - Start work
Nov 4 2020 18:00 - Note: Let's go, wohoooooo!
Nov 5 2020 00:30 - Stop work

Rep stores these logs inside a hidden .rep directory in your project folder. The database is a human-friendly JSON file that can be manually edited when needed.

Usage

There are six commands you need to know to use Rep:

Command	Action
rep init	Initialize Rep in the current directory.
rep start	Open a new log and start measuring time.
rep stop	Close the current log and stop measuring time.
rep note	Add a note to the last log.
rep table	Print logs in a table (doesn't show notes).
rep print	Print logs and notes.
rep invoice	Print the invoice amount for unbilled logs.
rep bill	Mark logs as billed.
