Stempel

Small utility to store and calculate the time spent at work.

Usage

  stempel <SUBCOMMAND> (-s <file>)

where the available subcommands are

• start: start a working period, aborts if you already started previously,
• stop: checks if a start entry is in the storage file and calculates the working time, aborts if no start entry is found,
• break: use start or stop as subcommand to handle breaks,
• cancels the last break, start or does nothing if no break or start in the storage,
• stats prints current statistics.

Options:

--offset

This option allows to specify a positive or negative offset to the current time. In other words, giving the option --offset 10m+ means that the command is executed with the current time plus 10 minutes, 20s- stands for current time minus 20 seconds. The syntax allows ([0-9]*)(h|m|s)(+|-) where h|m|s refers to hours, minutes and seconds, respectively.

--storage

Specifiy a path to the storage file where all work entries are written to. The path defaults to $HOME/.config/stempel.json and is created on the first invocation of the start subcommand.
