worktracker

A command line tool that calculates total time based on timestamps written in a simple human-readable format. It can be used to track time spent on work or any other kinds of tasks.

How to use

The tool works in a similar way to wc and accepts input from stdin.

~/.log.txt

1 10
2 45

11:23
1:30

13h 10m
13h 50m

$ worktracker < ~/.log.txt

 1h 10m -  2h 45m => 1h 35m
11h 23m -  1h 30m => 2h 7m
13h 10m - 13h 50m => 40m

Total time: 4h 22m

You can also run worktracker and type the timestamps manually or paste them into the terminal and press ctrl+z to simulate EOF.

Syntax

The tool works with both 12h and 24h time formats.

Supported timestamp formats 11 20, 11:20, 11h 20m.

TODO: add support for timestamps without minutes (11h)

The timestamps should be written in pairs. The first one is start, the second one is end. Each pair should be separated by a newline.

Timestamps with incorrect syntax are ignored.
