Verlauf
Projektgeschichte und Nutzung
Watson is a Python command-line time tracker for people who want project and tag based time logs without leaving the terminal. Its unit of work is a frame: start a project with tags, stop it later, and use log/report commands to inspect the resulting sessions.
Projektgeschichte
Watson's changelog records a first stable public release, 1.0.0, on September 17, 2015. Through 2016 the project added Bash completion, frame IDs, restart and merge commands, daily log summaries, browsable documentation, directory overrides, a logo, Arch Linux documentation, Homebrew documentation, year/month/week/day reporting options, zsh completion, default tags, and safer backup behavior when saving state.
The 2017-2022 changelog shows a steady CLI-maintenance arc: JSON report output, compatibility with a new crick.io sync backend, Python 3.6/3.7/3.8/3.9 support, an `add` command, fish completion, CSV output, typo suggestions, reverse log ordering, time-zone support through TZ, removal of Python 2.7 and 3.5 in the 2.0 release, and Click 8 compatibility in 2.1.0. The GitHub repository now lives under Jazzband; a 2024 Jazzband bot issue tracks implementing Jazzband guidelines after the transfer.
Adoptionsgeschichte
Watson is not a corporate time-tracking platform; its adoption is in the terminal productivity niche. The GitHub page reports about 2.5 thousand stars and hundreds of forks, the documentation points to pip and Homebrew installation, and the command set favors local control: data is stored on the user's computer, with optional sync to a crick server for people who want remote storage or sharing.
Wie es verwendet wird
The canonical flow is `watson start project +tag`, work for a while, then `watson stop`. Users inspect sessions with `watson log`, generate summaries with report-style commands, filter by project, tag, and dates, and use shell completions for known commands, projects, tags, and frame IDs.
In package-nerd terms, Watson appeals to users who prefer plain CLI state over a hosted UI: a local Python tool, simple commands, shell completion, JSON/CSV output history, and enough filtering to build reports for clients, invoices, retrospectives, or personal accounting.
Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren
Watson is significant as a small example of the Unixy personal-productivity tool: text-command interaction, local data, project/tag taxonomy, and scriptable output. It belongs in the same mental shelf as Timewarrior and other personal time trackers, but with a Python ecosystem flavor and a simple frame model.
