Input

To start tracking, press the + button, type in the activity name in the entry, and hit the Enter key. To specify more detail on the fly, use this syntax: time_info activity name @category, some description #tag #other tag with spaces.

  1. Specify specific times as 13:10-13:45, and “started 5 minutes ago” as -5.

  2. Next comes the activity name

  3. Place the category after the activity name, and start it with an at sign @, e.g. @garden

  4. If you want to add a description and/or tags, add a comma ,.

  5. The description is just free-form text immediately after the comma, and runs until the end of the string or until the first tag.

  6. Place tags at the end, and start each tag with a hash mark #.

A few examples:

Time input

Relative times work both for start time and end time, provided they are separated by a space. -30 -10 means started 30 minutes ago and stopped 10 minutes ago.

Times can be entered with a colon (hh:mm), with a dot (hh.mm) or just the 4 digits (hhmm).
