Logseq Time Recorder

This is a simple plugin for tracking working hours. Logseq has a built-in feature to track the time spent DOING a TODO block. However, it is not possible to edit this information (e.g., if you forgot to change the state from TODO to DOING when you started working on a task) from within Logseq.

Demo

Features

• Track your working hours during a workday.
• Track working hours across multiple days using the long date format.
• Button to clock in and clock out.
• The recorded times are also manually editable.
• Specify a goal duration (currently not exposed in the UI, but you can manually add it as the first argument, e.g. {{renderer :time-recorder, goal: 8h, 09:00}})

Future Goals

• Ideally I would like this to integrate with the built-in :LOGBOOK: syntax that is used for TODO blocks, but I don't know how to this with a plugin. It would be even better if Logseq just provided some UI for editing the :LOGBOOK:, then this plugin would be obsolete.
• Maybe make it work across days (currently it only records HH:MM timestamps).

I am not a web developer. If you know how to make the code nicer or the UI prettier, please submit a PR :-)

Building and Running the Plugin

• npm install && npm run build in terminal to install dependencies.
• Load unpacked plugin in Logseq Desktop client.
