Have you dreamed of putting Malcom Gladwell's blanket proclamation to the test, but wilted at the thought of counting the hours for a large fraction of your life? Then this is the program for you!
This graphical stopwatch app tracks the amount of time you have spent overall on a certain task. It saves your progress when you close the window so that you don't have to track the time yourself.
- Python >3.0
- Linux Operating System (Any Distro should work, as long as you have a suitable /home/YOUR_NAME directory.)
- Run install.py to copy the necessary assets into a folder in your /home/YOUR_NAME subdirectory. You can change DESTINATION in install.py to install the assets in a different place if you want.
- That's it. Enjoy your newfound awareness of time's passage!
Run main.py to start the program, then press start. This button toggles the stopwatch on or off.
When you close the program, the current time will be saved in clockSource.txt in the installation folder.
