thyme's Introduction

Thyme

Spice up your day-to-day productivity with some free Thyme, courtesy of the team at Sourcegraph (the best way to read and explore code). Automatically track which applications you use and for how long.

Simple CLI to track and analyze your application usage
Detailed charts that let you profile how you spend your time
Stores data locally, giving you full control and privacy
Open-source, well-documented, and easily extensible

Thyme is a work in progress, so please report bugs! Want to see how it works? Dive into the source here.

Want to share what you've learned about your Thyme? Join the discussion on Twitter.

Features

Simple CLI

Record which applications you use every 30 seconds:

$ while true; do thyme track -o thyme.json; sleep 30s; done;

Create charts showing application usage over time. In a new window:
```
$ thyme show -i thyme.json -w stats > thyme.html
```
Open thyme.html in your browser of choice to see the charts below.

Application usage timeline

Detailed application window timeline

Aggregate time usage by app

Dependencies

Thyme's dependencies vary by system. See thyme dep (mentioned in the installation instructions below).

Install

Install Go (if you have Homebrew on macOS, you can also run brew install go) and run
```
$ go get -u github.com/sourcegraph/thyme/cmd/thyme
```
Alternatively, if you don't want to install Go, just download the thyme binary here.
Follow the instructions printed by thyme dep.
```
$ thyme dep
```
Verify thyme works with
```
$ thyme track
```
This should display JSON describing which applications are currently active, visible, and present on your system.

Thyme currently supports Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Usage for Other Shells

Windows Powershell

> for(1){thyme track -o thyme.json; Start-Sleep -s 5}
> thyme show -i thyme.json -w stats | Out-File -e utf8 thyme.html

Windows DOS Command Line

> for /L %n in (0) do @(thyme track -o thyme.json && timeout /t 5 /nobreak)
> thyme show -i thyme.json -w stats > thyme.html

Use cases

Thyme was designed for developers who want to investigate their application usage to make decisions that boost their day-to-day productivity.

It can also be for other purposes such as:

Tracking billable hours and constructing timesheets
Studying application usage behavior in a given population

How is Thyme different from other time trackers?

There are many time tracking products and services on the market. Thyme differs from available offerings in the following ways:

Thyme does not intend to be a fully featured time management product or service. Thyme adopts the Unix philosophy of a command-line tool that does one thing well and plays nicely with other command-line tools.
Thyme does not require you to manually signal when you start or stop an activity. It automatically records which applications you use.
Thyme is open source and free of charge.
Thyme does not send data over the network. It stores the data it collects on local disk. It's up to you whether you want to share it or not.

thyme's Issues

`$ thyme dep` prompting to install watch even though it is already installed

I have watch installed and enabled privileges for iTerm and Terminal. Still getting the following on running thyme dep

Ankits-MacBook-Pro:bin ankit$ thyme dep

You will need the OSX 'watch' command. With Homebrew installed, in your command line enter "brew install watch". You will also need to enable privileges for "Terminal" in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Accessibility.
See https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202802 for details.

Ankits-MacBook-Pro:bin ankit$ brew install watch
Warning: watch-3.3.11 already installed

OS X Security

Giving accessibility permissions to the OS X Terminal seems like a huge security risk.

Is there any way to grant these permissions only to Thyme?

Fix displaying of time active/visible/open for many applications

Description

When using a lot of applications throughout the day, the resulting time graphs can’t be displayed correctly in the given 200px of height:

Expectation

I would have expected one of the following:

rows that don’t fit get cut off, because they have too little time on them
rows that don’t fit get accumulated as a single row as “Other”
the graph has enough height to fit all rows

For me personally, I would be fine with any variation where I can still read the entries.

Reproducing

Use the default way to track thyme and do a lot of context switching thoughout your work day:

watch -n 30 thyme track -o thyme.json
thyme show -i thyme.json -w stats > thyme.html

[Feature requet] Simplifying running thyme

In readme, it states to run thyme on command line like while true; do thyme track -o thyme.json; sleep 30s; done;. What about run thyme on background by executing something like thyme track -o thyme.json -t 30 to simplify command / readability ? If it sounds good, I would like to contribute :)

Releasing binaries

"Go provides excellent support for producing binaries for foreign platforms without having to install Go on the target" - Dave Cheney

How come there are no prebuilt binaries for thyme? It would simplify the install process greatly imho.

Command for installing Thyme did not work

The README has

$ go get -u github.com/sourcegraph/thyme/cmd/thyme

but to actually install, I had to use this URL:

$ go get -u github.com/sourcegraph/thyme/tree/master/cmd/thyme

The first command silently failed, and I would get command not found: thyme when trying to run a thyme command.

Install osascript instructions not clear enough

running thyme dep on osx gives instruction
npm install --save osascript'

running which prints error
npm WARN saveError ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Users/<username>/Project/thyme/bin/package.json' npm WARN enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Users/<username>/Project/thyme/bin/package.json' npm WARN bin No description npm WARN bin No repository field. npm WARN bin No README data npm WARN bin No license field.

maybe tell user (like me) who doesn't knows much about npm much to run npm init first and fill with this repo's data.

macOS Sierra installation instructions

Hi!

Amazing tool, been waiting for this for years!

I am running Thyme on macOS Sierra following these steps:

Set GOPATH: export GOPATH=/Users/user/go
go get -u github.com/sourcegraph/thyme/cmd/thyme
cd GOPATH/bin
while true; do ./thyme track -o thyme.json; sleep 30s; done;

For some reason I can't execute thyme anywhere, also, I can't run ./thyme dep because brew install watch is not yet compatible with macOS Sierra

MacOs installation

Removing the reference to NewDarwinTracker on that line appears to have solved the problem, since that line obviously isn't needed on a non-Darwin system.

OSX El Capitan - locks up on show and track.

Locks up on show and track. I've followed the instructions by calling thyme dep.

Followed the instructions by installing Go, and adding GOPATH.

go get thyme - no results

Not sure why I'm unable to get thyme, go is installed with homebrew:

dgig@mymac:~/go$ go version
go version go1.6.2 darwin/amd64
dgig@mymac:~/go$ echo $GOPATH
/Users/dgig/go
dgig@mymac:~/go$ go get -u github.com/sourcegraph/thyme/cmd/thyme
dgig@mymac:~/go$
dgig@mymac:~/go$ thyme
-bash: thyme: command not found

I just get no result whatsoever

I am not sure if this might help. I found a random golang program and tried to install it with go get and got this result:

dgig@mymac:~/go$ go get github.com/mattn/go-gtk/gtk
# pkg-config --cflags pango

All windows listed as visible with herbstluftwm, AwesomeWM

With my window manager (herbstluftwm), thyme track shows running windows correctly, but then lists all windows IDs (even windows on another workspace) as visible. How does it figure out what's visible and what isn't?

Long Term Activity

So I'm starting to use this tool on a daily basis to keep track of what I'm working on at any given moment, and my general flow is to start tracking when I get to work, stop when I leave, and then generate the results at home to see how my day went.

I'd love to be able to compare results from day to day and see my trends. Any thoughts on having the ability to compare long-term results?

Rewrite macOS support using Accessibility API

Current macOS support is built on Applescript, which calls the Accessibility API under the hood via "System Events". "System Events", however doesn't appear to expose any way to get windows of unscriptable applications (e.g., Slack) that are not in the current desktop/workspace. This means that should any such applications ever have multiple offscreen windows, they will not be detected.

Calling the Accessibility API directly may let us get all windows in all applications. This example app might be useful to look at, particularly the updateWindowList controller method: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/samplecode/SonOfGrab/Introduction/Intro.html

Request for time-saving insights enabled by Thyme

I'd like to write a follow-up blog post to this one featuring insights people have had about their time usage from using Thyme. I'm incredibly curious what others have learned about their time usage and I want to compare other work habits with my own.

If you're willing to share your insights, please

attach a thyme.json file you're comfortable sharing (feel free to sanitize anything you don't want public)
mention 1-5 bullet points of realizations you had from looking at the chart

We'll synthesize these and publish a post sometime in the next couple of weeks.

thyme causes eclipse to launch on macOS 10.11.6

https://github.com/sourcegraph/thyme/blob/master/darwin.go#L36 causes the variable listOfProcesses to include eclipse even when Eclipse is not running. When the script then tells every application from the list to get the windows on line 46, it is launched.

Where is electron

Upon trying thyme track for the first time (on mac), I was presented with a file explorer window that said "Where is electron?". Since I don't have Electron, I hit "Cancel", at which point Terminal froze and I had to force quit it.

Constant popups asking "Where is X?"

Hi,

Thanks for creating this app, been using it since yesterday on macOS 10.11 and it mostly works well. But some apps seem to trigger many of the "Where is X?" popups. I've had to select "Where is firefox" about 10-15 times now (using Firefox Developer Edition).

Screenshot is attached.

Can't create graphs

After ran the program all day (while true; do ./thyme track -o thyme.json; sleep 30s; done;), I finished it (Ctrl+C) then tried to get the stats (./thyme show -i thyme.json -w stats > thyme.html), but this errors happened:

Cannot download due to $GOPATH not set

I'm not familiar with how go works but by following the installation steps I was unable to download the package due to:

package github.com/sourcegraph/thyme/cmd/thyme: cannot download, $GOPATH not set. For more details see: go help gopath

I figured it out thanks to go help gopath and by googling a bit but it may be worth adding a note about that in the installation to reduce the time to get started.

Can't run on macOS Sierra

I can't run the program on macOS Sierra:

Steps I followed:

Download darwin distribution from https://github.com/sourcegraph/thyme/releases/tag/0.2
Set run permissions CHMOD +x thyme-darwin-368
./thyme-darwin-368 dep
xcode-select --install
Enable Accessibility permissions

But still I get the same error message:

👉  ./thyme-darwin-386 dep

You will need the osascript command-line utility. You can install it via the Apple developer tools ('xcode-select --install') or npm ('npm install --save osascript').

You will need to enable privileges for "Terminal" in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Accessibility.
See https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202802 for details.

What else I am missing?

feature: Simplify usage

Why don't we update Thyme CLI to have really smart defaults + "watch" built in. IE a user should just be able to run

$ thyme track
<ctrl-c>
$ thyme show
# opens thyme.html similiar to how go pprof opens webbrowser for svgs

and it would magically work.

Making the documentation in READ.me more noob friendly

For Windows using novices:

The 'while true; do ./thyme track -o thyme.json; sleep 30s; done;' will not work in cmd. You will receive the following error message:
'while' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file.

If using MinGW/GitBASH, the ./ is missing.
Hence:

while true; do ./thyme track -o thyme.json; sleep 30s; done;
./thyme show -i thyme.json -w stats > thyme.html

All desktops are 'visible' at the same time?

I suppose it should only regard the active desktop as being visible?
I am using Openbox.

Name conflict with joaomoreno/Thyme

Just an FYI: There is another time tracking application also called Thyme that appears to pre-date this one by some years.

https://joaomoreno.github.io/thyme/

I stumbled upon it by searching for this project via DDG using "github thyme" as my search terms.

Change tracking

A change log and goes in the GitBub release would be nice and mirror much of the community.

getting nil pointer dereference on `thyme show -w stats` (macOS)

I'm using GO version 1.7, and I got SIGSEGV when trying to exectute thyme show -i thyme.json -w stats > thyme.html. I'm not sure if 1.7 is causing the issue though.

Thanks!

Mac OSX El Capitan installation issues

Thanks for creating this, I'm excited to try it!

Installation seems pretty difficult on mac OSX - it would be great to be installed via brew install thyme

I'm on El Capitan version 10.11.6

I'm getting the following error when I run thyme dep. I have installed watch and enabled terminal priveleges:

You will need the OSX 'watch' command. With Homebrew installed, in your command line enter "brew install watch". You will also need to enable privileges for "Terminal" in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Accessibility.
See https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202802 for details.

Then, when I try thyme track anyway I get a dialog box asking "Where is nwjs?" but it won't let me select the nwjs package I subsequently installed globally in node_modules.

Any suggestions would be fantastic!

Help flags are must have for the CLI applications, but thyme does not provide one:

thyme track exists with status 1 on Ubuntu

Hi,

I did the following steps:

$ sudo rm -rf /usr/local/go
$ sudo tar -C /usr/local -xvf go1.7.linux-amd64.tar.gz
$ go get -u github.com/sourcegraph/thyme/cmd/thyme
$ ./go_path/bin/thyme dep
$ sudo apt-get install xdotool wmctrl
# xdpyinfo and xwininfo were already installed
$ ./go_path/bin/thyme track
exit status 1

[OSX] ParseInt: "missing value" error

When running "thyme track" I get a missing value error.

I am on Mac OSX. I just installed the thyme and followed the steps in thyme dep.

2016/08/16 13:30:10 strconv.ParseInt: parsing "missing value": invalid syntax

[FEATURE REQUEST] Support blacklisting applications

First, thanks for the software. It's pretty cool to easily see what apps I use throughout the day.

It would be nice if there was a way to blacklist an application so it doesn't show in the output at all. One example use case for me is with 'Path Finder'. I use it as a desktop replacement for Finder, so Thyme shows it as active 100% of the time.

Install dependencies

I have a working go installation. However when I run thyme dep, it gives the following message:

Install the following command-line utilities via your package manager (e.g., apt) of choice:
* xdpyinfo
* xwininfo
* xdotool
* wmctrl

However all these utilities are already installed. I am not a go programmer so maybe I am missing something.

Where is JavaApplicationStub?

Was presented this with a chooser dialog, and I believe its tied to a Java based app I have open called DbVisualizer - the only Java desktop I have running.

Upon choosing the .app package, thyme terminates with:

$ thyme track -o thyme.json
strconv.ParseInt: parsing "": invalid syntax
2016/08/16 17:34:45 strconv.ParseInt: parsing "": invalid syntax

This error occurs with each launch of thyme with or with any Java apps currently running.

Should track individual iTerm tabs

I spend a good amount of time on one of the various tabls I have open in iTerm2. Currently, there is only one record for iTerm in the json file.

{
"ID": 88,
"Name": "1. tmux new-session -s test (tmux) - iTerm2"
}

It'll be great if records were broken down further by iTerm tabs

Use SQLite instead of JSON

Wouldn't sqlite be a better choice to store the data as compared to json?

To add new entry to json, we first need to parse the existing file. Whereas, considering our usecase, we just need something that works easily in an append-only fashion.

Calls to System Events are rather expensive

On my machine, calls to thyme track are taking 8s-17s.

During that time, one CPU core is pretty dedicated to "System Events". As an example, time reported a run of thyme track took 10.07s real and I'm seeing the total CPU Time in Activity Monitor increase ~9s.

Any ideas? Or more data I can collect?
