Bartib

Bartib is a time tracker for the command line. It safes a journal of all tracked activities in a plaintext file.

Build

Build it with cargo:

cargo build --release --bin bartib

The journal file

Bartib safes a journal of all tracked activities in a plaintext file. The file can either be specified via the -f / --file cli option or as a BARTIB_FILE environment variable.

Commands

Help

Print help information:

bartib -h

Start a new activity

Start a new activity with a short description and an associated project:

bartib start -p "The name of the associated project" -d "A description of the activity"

All currently tracked activites will be stopped. If the specified file does not exist yet it will be created.

The -t/--time option specifies at which time of the current day the new activity starts (and any currently running activity stops):

bartib start -p "The name of the associated project" -d "A description of the activity" -t 13:45

Stop a running activity

Stops the currently running activity:

bartib stop

The -t/--time option specifies at which time of the current day the activities stop.

Continue the last activity

bartib continue [-p "Another project"] [-d "Another description"]

This continues the last activity. If an activity is currently tracked, bartib stops and restarts this activity. The associated project and description may be overwritten by setting a -p / --project or -d / --description option.

The -t/--time option specifies at which time of the current day the activity (re-)starts.

List all currently running activities

bartib current

List activities

All activities:

bartib list

Do not group activities by date:

bartib list --no_grouping

List activities in a given time range:

bartib list --from 2021-03-01 --to 2021-11-01

List activities on a given day:

bartib list --date 2021-05-17

List activities of special days:

bartib list --today
bartib list --yesterday

Edit activities

To change tracked activities, just open the file with your activities log in any text editor. To facilitate this, bartib offers the edit subcommand:

bartib edit

This will open your log in the editor you have defined in your EDITOR environment variable. Alternatively you can specify the editor command via the -e/--editor option:

bartib edit -e vim

Show last activity

bartib last

List all projects

This command lists all projects for which an activity has ever been logged:

bartib projects

This is especially useful for autocompletion. For example, adding this line to the .bashrc enables autocompletion for project names:

complete -W "$(bartib projects)" bartib
