Tracks and reports time spent by linux desktop user on differenet applications and tasks. Background daemon records focused X11 window caption and timestamps when focus changes (also for chromium url is extracted). Each caption is split into keywords set.
Daemon could be started using
python mytime.py logLogs are recorded into $HOME/.mytime/YYYY-MM-DD.log files
To analyze logs use the following command
python mytime.py report [-bN] [-eN] [-tN] [-mN] [-dN]
Switches:
-bN: do not analyze files with age more than N days. Default: use all data
-eN: do not analyze files with age less than N days. Default: use all data
-tN: show tree of N maximum levels. If not specified, full tree is shown. -t0 means flat 'digest' mode.
-dN: show only items with duration more than N minutes. Default is 0
-mN: show only items with duration more than N percent of total time. Default is 0
-r: scale time so the time is relative to 5 working days week (So you should see 8hrs per day if you work 5/7). Default is OFF

This report states that I've been online 9h22 mins last 24hrs. And used 4h42 mins (50.1%) of that time to develop [mytime] project (softwatch actually) The rest time 3h36 mins were spent in google-chrome All other activities (e.g. those which took less than 5% of total time) in total used 42.1% of my time.
The bottom part of above report shows =TASKS=
Each task is defined in ~/.mytime/tasks.cat file. Here is example
PROJECT1 == app1 || app2
FUN == myfavoritepornsite
JOB == person1 || person2 || person3 || person4
LOVE == my_wife_hangouts_login
mytime == softwatch
```
If -m switch is ommitted, report will become quite huge containing all your keywords combination as tree.
## show today hotspots (-t0)
```
python softwatch.py report -b1 -m1 -t0
```
## Status file
```
cat ~/.mytime/active
[mytime]:67%mytime: 1%BTC:
```
the format is
```
[CURRENT-TASK]:NN% TASK1: MM% TASK2:....
```
This percents are tracked using last 1 hour data. So you can check using this file, how much time you spend on which task during last hour.
This is experimental (pre-alpha) software. Use on your own risk.
## Windows
Logger works, place to autostart:
```
