sigye 0.4.1

(시계) A simple command-line program for tracking time.

sigye (시계)

A simple, command-line time tracking program.

Overview

sigye (시계 Korean for clock) is a CLI program to help you track your time. With sigye, there are basic operations:

• start (start tracking time towards a project)
• stop (stop tracking time)
• status (get the current status)
• edit (edit a time entry record using the current default EDITOR)
• list (list entries)
  • can filter entries by time range ("today", "week", "month") or fixed start and end dates.
  • can filter entries by project name(s) or a project starts with.
  • can filter entries by tags name(s).

The default storage of time entries is a YAML file (near future will be sqlite support). Using YAML makes manual editing of the entire file possible using any editor.

Installation

Via uv

uv tool install sigye

Via pipx

pipx install sigye

Usage

Default Storage of Entries

By default, entries are stored in a YAML file at: $HOME/.sigye/time_entries.yml

To override this value, you can add --filename <date_filename> on every command to override adhoc.

To override this value for a environment, you can set the environment variable SIGYE_DATA_FILENAME to whatever value you'd like and that will become the default.

[!IMPORTANT]
Make sure the directory exists before overriding.

Start tracking

sigye start <project-name> "<optional comment>" --tag "optional_tag"

Check status

sigye status

Stop tracking

sigye stop

List Entries

List All Entries

sigye list

List Filtered Entries

All entries from a named time frame (options: today, week and month):

sigye list TIMEFRAME

All entries for a certain project (or list of projects)

sigye list --project abc-1234 --project abc-1233

Entries that "start with" a project name (note: you can use + or . or *):

sigye list --project abc+

All entries with any tag matching a tag or multiple tags:

sigye list --tag mytag

Edit Entries

To edit an entry, use the full or partial ID (just has to be enough digits for it to be unique among your time entry file or data). By default, sigye shows the first 4 digits from an entry ID.

sigye edit ID

Localization Support (experimental Korean output)

To get output in Korean: export SIGYE_LOCALE=ko_KR

The sigye list and sigye status commands will output some information in Korean.
