CLUSTER TIME-COMMAND-LINE · 17 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2020-04-09
Command-line time tracking tools
This cluster consists of command-line and terminal-based time trackers that log time entries, often to plain-text files, and generate activity summaries or reports. The dated history shows a sparse, steady trickle of new entries from 2018 to 2026, with most months having a single new entry and occasional months with two or three. Traction leaders by activity signal are wakatime, wj, and work, each with zero stars.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
