About:
Timewarrior is a command-line time tracking tool designed to help you manage your time. It allows you to start and stop tracking sessions, add annotations, and generate reports. Its primary value is providing a lightweight, terminal-based interface for precise time management without a GUI.

Key Features:

Command-line interface (CLI) for fast interaction
Flexible date and time arithmetic for intervals
Rich tagging and annotation support
Configurable reports and charts
Local data storage (no cloud required)

Use Cases:

Tracking billable hours for freelance work
Monitoring time spent on specific software projects
Analyzing daily productivity habits

Alternatives:

Watson – Watson is also CLI-based but uses a different project/tag structure; Timewarrior is often preferred for its strict interval model.
Timetrap – Timetrap is a simple database-backed CLI tracker; Timewarrior offers more advanced date parsing and reporting visualization.
