Monitor My Time (mmtime)

This CLI tool aims at offering a deamon-like process that works in the background and monitors the time that the user had spent on a collection of applications.

This collection of applications can be defined in the ~/.config/mmtime-vX.X/targets file, where every application, that the user wants to track the amount of time he/she spend in, is listed in a sperated time. i.e

    # My target apps.

    Discord 
    Code 
    Slack 
    Mpv 
    Firefox 
    Vim 

The mmtime tool will then track all the time spent on these applications and write that to a db file (~/.local/share/mmtime-vX.X/targets.stats.db).

Besides, there will be a system tray applet that will allow the user to see the current monitoring related stats, this will give the user the ability to see the stats live and also through a menu item reload the configuration file (targets file).

Setup & Installation ( Using Go tools )

    # make sure to install xterm & yad (for some use these commands)
    [[ "$HOSTNAME" == "debian" ]] && sudo apt install xterm yad
    [[ "$HOSTNAME" == "ubuntu" ]] && sudo apt install xterm yad
    [[ "$HOSTNAME" == "fedora" ]] && sudo dnf install xterm yad


    # build the binary (this requires Go to be installed )
    make build

    # setup the environment and mv the binary to ~/.local/share
    make install

    # (Optional) you can create a symlink to the binary
    # to /usr/local/bin, or directly copy the binary to it.

Setup & Installation ( Without Go tools )

First, download from Github the latest release.

    # clone the repo
    git clone <repo_url>

    # download from github the latest release

    # move the binary of the release to the project /bin directory

    # run make install 
    make install

Uninstall

    # just run the following command to remove all the used
    # directroies and the ~/.local/share binary.
    make uninstall

    # (NOTE) extra setup from your part should be undone by
    # yourself.
