Textual chart for arbtt, the automatic, rule-based time tracker.
Similar to arbtt-graph, just in plain monospace text.
(The above screenshot is generated using my liskin-arbtt-stats which provides a few handy commands and combines data from multiple X sessions and Strava.)
Raw arbtt-stats output for the same time period looks something like this:
Install arbtt and make sure
arbtt-capture runs in your graphical login session.
Configure arbtt rules in ~/.arbtt/categorize.cfg.
See Configuring the arbtt categorizer, Effective Use of Arbtt, and
sample categorize.cfg for arbtt-graph.
Try arbtt-stats --output-format=csv --each-category | arbtt-chart or
arbtt-stats --output-format=csv --category=Graph | arbtt-chart
Using pipx:
pipx ensurepath
pipx install git+https://github.com/liskin/arbtt-chart
To keep a local git clone around:
git clone https://github.com/liskin/arbtt-chart
make -C arbtt-chart pipx
Alternatively, if you don't need the isolated virtualenv that pipx provides, feel free to just:
pip install git+https://github.com/liskin/arbtt-chart
Or, since the only dependency is pandas, you can just sudo apt install python3-pandas and run arbtt_chart.py directly. :-)
