Watson is a command-line time tracker that lets you start and stop timers for projects and tags, recording work sessions as frames. It generates logs and reports from your tracked time, with optional syncing to a self-hosted server.

Use cases

  • track time spent on projects from the terminal
  • generate client reports for billable hours
  • log work sessions with project and tag filtering
  • see how much time I spend on each task
  • self-host time tracking data synced across machines

When to choose

  • you want fast, keyboard-driven time tracking without a GUI
  • you prefer local-first data storage with optional self-hosted sync
  • you need simple CLI reports filtered by project, tag, or date

When to avoid

  • you need a graphical dashboard or calendar-style time tracking
  • you require team-wide timesheet approval workflows
  • you want automatic time detection rather than manual start/stop
