log
Log 1 is a monotasking time-tracker, built to track time spent on my projects.
history
The Log essentially kickstarted every other one of my side projects. 2 After being introduced to Devine Lu Linvega and Merveilles and getting inspired by Horaire, I started tracking time spent on projects back in . It was initially just a spreadsheet, then a text file. Analytics were later added with the development of a now-defunct desktop app.
The app was eventually abandoned and Log was whittled down to a simpler CLI tool. It’s currently integrated into this wiki.
mechanics
Multi-tasking is discouraged by design. The general time-tracking process works like this:
- I start by keying in what I intend to do: sector (activity type), project, and task description
- Work on the task
- The session ends when I’m done or interrupted and completion is graded with a binary score
arachne integration
All Log data is recorded in a text file that is then parsed by Arachne. Information is summarised and displayed in the Tracker and respective project pages.
| timestamps | score | sector | project | description | |

screenshots
Here are some screenshots of the old desktop app that was available from late to late . The repository is still up but the app isn’t actively maintained.
