Project description

ttx — Tiny Tasks + Time Tracker

Release PyPI version PyPI downloads License: MIT

Author: Martin Dahl


tt is a lightweight, terminal-first task & time tracking tool with both a CLI and an interactive TUI.
It’s designed for speed, simplicity, and scriptability — with sensible defaults and flexible time parsing.


✨ Features

  • Tasks: add, list, complete, archive.
  • Time logs:
    • Start/stop timers
    • Manual entries (--start/--end, --minutes, --ago)
    • Flexible parsing (09:00, :30, 1h15, today, yesterday, now)
    • Strict ISO mode (optional)
  • Reports & exports:
    • Summaries by task, tag, or day
    • CSV and Markdown export
  • Interactive TUI (powered by Textual):
    • Task + log views
    • Filter indicator bar
    • Entry marking, bulk actions, sorting
    • Persisted UI state
  • Configurable:
    • XDG-compliant config (~/.config/ttx/config.yml)
    • Rounding rules
    • Confirmation prompts for destructive ops
  • SQLite backend:
    • WAL mode enabled
    • Auto-created indexes
  • Developer-friendly:
    • Semantic-release CI (auto changelog + versioning)
    • Conventional Commits
    • PyPI-ready packaging
