About:
Bartib is a simple yet powerful command-line time tracker that stores data in a plain text file, ensuring longevity and easy version control. It allows developers to start, stop, and manage sessions without complex databases or GUIs. Its primary value lies in its simplicity, portability, and scriptability for automated workflows.
