uur
uur is a command-line tool that reads time log entries from a text file and then generates simple reports.
Workflow
- One adds time entries to
~/.uur/entries
file using one's favourite text editor. - Then at any time one can use uur to print reports.
Entries file
The entries file should be created at ~/.uur/entries
by the user.
Each line in this file corresponds to one time entry and has the following format:
YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm - hh:mm Project name Entry description.
- the above data fields should be separated by at least one whitespace character;
- the project name should be separated from the entry description by at least two whitespace characters.
An example:
2013-07-17 10:15 - 10:45 Uur Writing README file content.
Blank lines and those that start with #
(hash) sign are ignored.
Reports
There are two types of reports: entry lists and entry summaries.
Entries list report
Simply prints the entries within the specified period, grouped by day.
An example:
> uur --list --within last-month
Mon, 10 June 2013
09:15 - 11:45 2h30m Project A Working on task A1
11:45 - 12:15 30m Project B Working on task B1

Total: 3h15m
...
