Rusty Time Logger

The fastest time logger application in the world! Built in Rust.

I do some freelance web-development and needed a basic and easy-to-use project time logger to track the time spent on a specific project to bill clients. As a hobby-project I made my own debloated version as alternative to Toggl, Clockify or Zapier.

Features:

• Time track multiple projects.
• Play/pause button to start of pause timer.
• Save a finished task with a custom description.
• Export project log to a HTML table.
• View total time spent, time spent per task and a full log of the workflow.
• Sync spent time to tickets on Github Project board.

TODO

• Use SQLite instead of CSV (priority)
• Code improvements and best practices (priority)
• Add styling to project export (priority)
• Remember time of inactivity of user and ask to subtract inactive time for task time when user returns
• Send email when user is inactive but timer is still running
• Integration with Jira (integration with Github is done)

This was a hobby-project. So feedback is always appreciated!
