How to install

With uv (recommended)

$ uv add toggl-to-sqlite

With pip

$ pip install toggl-to-sqlite

Usage

You will need to first obtain a valid API token for your toggl account. You can do this by running the auth command and following the prompts:

$ toggl-to-sqlite auth
You will need to get your API Token from this page

https://track.toggl.com/profile

Once you have your API Token enter it at the command line.

Authentication tokens written to auth.json

Now you can fetch all of your items from toggl like this:

$ toggl-to-sqlite fetch toggl.db

NB! By default toggl-to-sqlite only fetches data from the 25 previous days. As an alternative you can specify to get time_entries since a specific date. You do this by specifying the since option:

$ toggl-to-sqlite fetch -s 2021-03-13

You can choose to get only time_entries, projects, or workspaces by speciying a type in the argument like this.

To get ONLY your workspaces:

$ toggl-to-sqlite fetch -t workspaces toggl.db

To get your workspaces and projects:

$ toggl-to-sqlite fetch -t workspaces -t projects toggl.db

The default is to get all three of time_entries, projects, and workspaces

toggl-to-sqlite --help
