Arbtt: an automatic, rule-based time-tracker
- geniium 6y agoVery interesting. Thanks for sharing. Am surprised there are no comment on an interesting topic like this.
- prawn 6y agoSounds similar to RescueTime from many years ago, though that could slow down a computer, so I abandoned it pretty quickly.
- edoceo 6y agoBLUF: watches your active windows, produces a report.
- darepublic 6y agoFor people who have to fill out detailed timesheets
- warkdarrior 6y agoIt'd be a lot more useful if it captured the websites visited in the browser, the files edited in the text editor, the current directories in the shells, etc.
- imperistan 6y agoI thought that was wat it would do. Guess not! Does anyone know of a tool that does? Edit: seems like ActivityWatch (mentioned below) does

- shaicoleman 6y agoFor tracking URLs, you could use the following extension: URL in title https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/url-in-title/ignpacbgnbnkaiooknalneoeladjnfgb https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/url-in-title/ignpa...
- phiresky 6y agoI'm working on a time tracking tool inspired by Arbtt, written in Rust, that also tracks visited websites including metadata (e.g. YouTube video category), tracks shell directories etc, and also is able to import data from your phone and other sources like Google Fit. It's not complete, but it's already working great for myself: https://github.com/phiresky/timetrackrs https://github.com/phiresky/timetrackrs I've added a comparison to Arbtt and ActivityWatch in the readme.
- shashurup 6y agoWhat about Arbeitt? IMHO, a bit more interesting wordplay.
- mckirk 6y agoThat might be a bit confusing for native English speakers given the 'albeit' conditioning.
- miguelrochefort 6y agoYou also want to check out ActivityWatch [0] if you into that kind of stuff. [0] https://activitywatch.net/ https://activitywatch.net/
- geniium 6y agoVery nice! Thanks, trying this now.
- soda1 6y agoStill use bitbucket to host your code? A bit obsolute.
- alephu5 6y agoWow, this is a Haskell program developed in 2009 and still actively maintained. Who would've thunk it? I'll be installing it later today, it looks very interesting.
