This app is created by me for my own usage. but you also if have any need or was useful, can use it.
This is a useful time calculator. this app calculates your on-work time and gives a simple report of your time spent. this could be used for everyone who wants to know how much time spends on his work, parents for controlling their child PC time usage, and employees who want to report true time of their work and others.
but stop and NOTE: this is a pre-release, unstable, and uncompleted version of this app!
but I try to complete it because of my self-usage!
It simply tracks your mouse and keyboard usage on your system by reading /dev/input/by_path input files.
When they become idle for 2 min, the app considers your time as "waste time" and as you come back it will continue normally.
You can directly use the /build/clocker binary file by copying it to the /usr/bin system directory.
or make source easily by running make && make install in the root directory of the project (recommended).
it will copy clocker and clocker-updater to /usr/bin.
for run clocker run:
$ sudo clocker
for updating application run:
$ sudo clocker --update
You can use several modes as your need. there are three modes: busy, paused and default.
You are starting in default mode and it is the normal behavior of the app. Clocker will calculate your useful time when you're using your system, and otherwise, going to idle.
When you're choosing busy mode, probably you are doing your work, but not just with your system. in other words, you are not using your system while you want to your time be considered useful time.
Unlike that, when you use your system, but not in your main job, you can pause the Clocker and do your stuff, and then back and Resume it.
This app created because of need, So whenever the need arises, a new feature will be added. for now I want to add two more features,
- data saver
- data exporter
if you find this app useful and feel maybe some new features is needed, please create an issue, I welcome any idea or suggestion!
also If you face any problem, unknown behavior or some other bugs, please open an issue or email me. [email protected]
