A task tray utility that allows you to:
- configure a list of free form text strings (tasks) which show up on the task tray menu
- show stop and configure menu items as well
It records the time spent on a given task.
So imagine you come to work. You click the task tray icon, then select the task you are working on. It begins counting time. Later as you switch tasks, you select another menu item/task. And so on through the day. At end of day you choose "stop". All of the time spent on tasks (including start and stop times) are recorded to a csv file.
Also every 30 minutes (configurable) it pops up and says "are you still working on X?" to remind you to log your time.
So for example you might configure this list of menu items:
Lunch
Code Review
Documenting Requirements
Working PR/CR
Team Meeting
------
Stop
Configure
The first few items are configurable. Stop is there for end of day. Configure lets you add/remove menu items and set the reminder timer.
This would be useful for contractors, personal software process adherents, or others who work for anal rententive corporations.
