How to use

Important: The tracker needs to run via a local server (not opened directly as a file) so your data saves correctly between sessions.

Windows

  1. Download work-log.html, launch.bat, and start-server.ps1 into the same folder
  2. Double-click launch.bat
  3. The tracker opens automatically in your browser

Linux / Mac

  1. Download work-log.html and launch.sh into the same folder
  2. Open a terminal in that folder and run:
    bash launch.sh
  3. The tracker opens automatically in your browser

Your data is stored locally in your browser — nothing is sent anywhere.

Features

Time tracking

  • Live timer — start a timer on any task, pause and resume, add a handoff note when stopping
  • Time log — every logged entry shown with duration, epic, and billable flag
  • Billable tracking — mark epics and individual entries as billable; totals shown per task and per day
  • Quick pick — recent tasks shown as chips for fast re-logging

Tasks

  • Today's tasks — To do / In Progress / Done with epic colour coding
  • Task subtasks — split any task into child steps; completing all steps completes the parent
  • Deadlines — date picker with overdue (red) and due-today (amber) highlighting
  • Auto-carry — unfinished tasks roll over to the next day automatically
  • Jira import — paste a Jira CSV export to bulk-add tickets as tasks
  • Completion history — done tasks shown for 14 days with timestamp, then expire by iteration

Focus mode

  • Focus screen — one-click distraction-free view showing only the active task and next steps
  • Parked thoughts — capture stray thoughts mid-focus without leaving the screen
  • Pomodoro timer — 5 / 10 / 20 min ring timer with session log; visible in focus mode

Planning

  • Today's meetings — fetched live from Outlook calendar (Windows); shows time, duration, Teams join link
  • Timeblock — visual 08:00–18:00 grid auto-filled from logged entries; drag to rearrange
  • Day streak — consecutive days with logged work

Export & review

  • End the day — one-click summary with test areas and tomorrow's notes, exported as .txt
  • Auto-backup — JSON backup saved automatically on end-of-day to a local JSON backups/ folder
  • Reflection — end-of-day focus-quality and energy ratings with an optional note

Bullet Journal (BuJo) features

  • Rapid logging — ✏️ button opens a floating capture panel; Enter starts the timer immediately
  • Signifiers — clickable symbol on each entry cycles through meeting / flagged / migrated / cancelled / overtime; cancelled entries are excluded from totals
  • Daily Log — tab view merging time entries, log notes, and task updates in a single chronological feed
  • Monthly Log — heatmap of hours per day with intensity colouring; monthly summary and task inventory
  • Migration — end-of-month close-out flow: carry forward, reschedule, or drop each open task
  • Trackers — custom 28-day progress grids with a daily target and streak counter
  • Sprints — intention-first focus sessions: declare an outcome, run a Pomodoro, then record yes / partly / no

Info widgets

  • Weather — current conditions, rain forecast, sunrise/sunset (Helsinki)
  • Moon phase — current phase, illumination %, and zodiac sign
  • Finnish nameday — fetched live from nimipaivat.fi

Testing

A smoke test suite is included. Requires Node.js ≥ 22.12 (matches engines in package.json; bumped to track @commitlint/cli v21).

node smoke-tests.cjs

Or double-click run-tests.bat on Windows.

To schedule tests to run automatically each morning, run schedule-tests.bat once as Administrator.

To set up automated weekly releases every Friday, run setup-scheduler.ps1 once as Administrator.

01b-migrate.js

01b-migrate.js Automatic localStorage schema migration.

Runs once per page load, before load() reads from the versioned keys. Each migration entry maps an old key name to the new one. If the old key has data and the new key is empty, the data is copied across and the old key is removed. Already-migrated users are unaffected (the old key simply won't exist).

Adding a new migration: append an entry to MIGRATIONS. Never remove old entries — a user might be upgrading across multiple versions.

24-location.js

24-location.js Per-day work location (Remote / Office) shown in the date-nav header where the ISO week number used to sit. The location is stored against each calendar day so navigating with ← → reveals that day's location. Unset days default to Remote (see DEFAULT_WORK_LOCATION in pure-fns.js).

Pure helpers (locationFor, nextLocation, WORK_LOCATIONS) live in pure-fns.js and are unit-tested; this module is the localStorage + DOM glue around them.

The storage key (STORE_LOCATION) is declared in 01-state.js alongside the other wl_*_v1 keys. It must live there, not here: modules are concatenated in filename order, and render() (04-render.js) calls renderLocation() during boot — before this file's top-level code would run — so a const declared here would be in the temporal dead zone at that point.

pure-fns.js

pure-fns.js Pure functions with no side-effects and no dependencies on global state. Extracted here so they can be imported directly by other modules and by tests.
