Goals

tickbin is a simple time tracking application with an emphasis on minimizing disruption to the user. It accomplishes this by:

  • natural language input (no need to fill out forms or click buttons)
  • quick in and out interfaces (text based interfaces wherever users work: cli, slack, alfred)
  • offline priority (internet should not be a requirement)

tickbin emphasizes user data ownership:

  • open source client with local data storage
  • optional self hosted data replication (via couchdb)
  • premium integrations via hosted service for portability

Local database

Local database path will default to ~/.tickbin. If you would like to specify a custom location, add the following to ~/.tickbinrc:

local=~/custom/path

If you're developing you can add a .tickbinrc file to your development directory.

Remote sync

To sync with a remote database, add the following to ~/.tickbinrc:

remote=http://user:pass@host:port/dbname

Run tick sync in order to sync your database with your remote server.
