nachasic/rtrackr

Time tracking app written in Rust

rTrackr

Personal productivity tracker

Allows user to track their activity across open windows and browser tabs and classify the time spent as Productive, Leisure or Neutral time.

Roadmap

---

ATTENTION - this project is still a work-in-progress

---

In order of priority from highest to lowest.

• Support for Linux (xorg)
• Persistent record store on file system
• Express rules of classifying activities as productive, neutral or leisure via TOML configuration;
• TUI
• Projects
• Support for Windows
• Support for OSX
• Persistent record store in the cloud

Development notes

Current unit tests mutate filesystem, which makes them dependent on the order of execution. Until this is fixed, it is preferable to run tests with

cargo test -- --test-threads 1

rtrackr's Issues

[Feature] Hook scripts

I would like to script some actions, depending on my activity status for habit management. For example, if I'm procrastinating, I could send a notification to myself to start a pomodoro timer.

Possible solution

Add a property to each activity called scripts that sets a path to a collection of shell scripts:

[[activity]]
name = "rtrackr"
productivity = 1
scripts = "~/activities/rtrackr/"

[[activity.rule]]
# ...

All relative path are considered relative to $XDG_DATA_HOME.

The program then looks for shell scripts in the folder, following a naming convention [status]-[delay-in-seconds]-Script_name.sh, example:

AFK-15-Get_back_to_work_notification.sh
AFK-30-Do_some_pushups_lock.sh

These scripts can send me notifications, kill my browser or even lock my session if I want them to.
