README

Time Clock is a small Cocoa program to facilitate simpler analysis of .timeclock files managed by the Emacs timeclock.el functions.

The program reads the .timeclock file from the user's home directory and stores the data in an internal CoreData storage. This storage is then bound to the user interface.

The .timeclock file (and internal storage) is organized into projects and work items. The entries (for clocking in should be formatted as follows:

i yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss [project] work item
o yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss

The entries for clocking out do not have to have any associated description. Only the timestamp for clocking out is analyzed.

User Interface

The user interface allows to select one or multiple of the projects. This shows the entries for the projects and the total accumulated time for the projects.

With the menu entry File -> Print a report is generated. The report contains the selected project and one entry per day containing the accumulated hours for the day and the list of work items for the day.

Notes

• The internal storage is reinitialized on startup. The storage is not persistent yet! Do not delete the entries from the .timestamp file.
