CLI Attention

ed attention

ed attention reads Edith's local attention ledger. It works with the app closed, uses the same identity and category rules as the UI, and emits bounded JSON suitable for scripts and agents. Initial tracking and browser permissions are configured in the guided Attention screen in Edith.

Commands

• ed attention status
• ed attention summary
• ed attention timeline
• ed attention music
• ed attention categories
• ed attention focus
• ed attention doctor

A bare ed attention runs status. Data stays under ~/Library/Application Support/Edith/attention unless the app's data directory is relocated by the test or development environment.

Summaries resolve overlap before totaling time. A browser heartbeat replaces the enclosing browser application for that interval, so Chrome and the active site are not counted twice. Idle application and video time stays visible as idle time but is not treated as engaged entertainment. Playing audio is reported separately by music even while the Mac is idle.
