Time Bug

This repository contains a set of Python scripts designed to help track work time on various projects efficiently. The app.py script logs the start and end times of work sessions, manages AFK periods effectively, and the time_calculator.py script calculates the total time spent on each project.

Features

• Project Tracking: The app.py script logs work sessions for different projects, allowing for easy tracking of time spent on individual tasks.
• AFK Handling: It detects and logs times when the user is away from the keyboard (AFK), ensuring these periods do not count towards the total work time.
• Dynamic Time Calculation: The time_calculator.py script provides functionality to calculate and display the total work time for each project, with options to specify the time calculation starting point (--since parameter).

Requirements

• Python 3.6 or higher
• Compatible with any operating system that supports Python and basic file operations.

Setup

Ensure Python is installed on your system. If not, download and install it from python.org.

Usage

app.py

1. Clone this repository or download app.py and any related files to your local machine.

2. Open a terminal or command prompt.

3. Navigate to the directory containing app.py.

4. Run the script using the following command:

   python app.py

5. Follow the on-screen prompts to enter project names and tasks. Use the command stop to end the current project session or change project to switch to another project.

time_calculator.py

1. To run the time calculation independently, use the following command in the terminal where time_calculator.py is located:

   python time_calculator.py --since [day|midnight|YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS]

   Replace [day|midnight|YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS] with your desired starting point for time calculation. If omitted, the script calculates time for the entire recorded period.

How it Works

• app.py uses the Python logging library to create detailed logs of each work session in the time_tracking.logs file.
• time_calculator.py reads these logs and processes them based on the specified --since parameter to compute the total effective work time, excluding any AFK periods.
