This is a program to help track time taken on tasks. After starting a task, you can rename it, alter the start time, or delete it. After ending a task, but before starting a new one, you can alter the end time. You can create reports from other files, so if you want to archive by month or project, you can move the relevant lines from the active file to an archive one.
There are defines at the top of the program where you can change the delimiter between the project and the task and the filename used. You may wish to give it an absolute filename in a backed-up or synced directory.
Usage:
