history

Project history and usage

Bartib is a Rust command-line time tracker that stores activities in a human-readable plaintext log and generates lists and reports from that file.

Project history

The upstream repository describes Bartib as an easy-to-use time tracking tool for the command line. GitHub metadata shows the repository was created in 2021, and the changelog records version 1.0.0 in November 2021 with the basic tracking, reporting, and listing features.

Bartib's design has stayed intentionally file-centered. The documented file format is one activity per line with ISO-style local timestamps, project, and optional description fields, while the CLI can start, stop, continue, list, report, edit, and check activities.

Adoption history

Bartib spread through developer-oriented distribution channels: GitHub releases, cargo install from crates.io, Homebrew, Alpine testing packages, MacPorts, and Nix. Its adoption is modest but healthy for a focused terminal productivity tool.

How it is used

A user records work with bartib start and bartib stop, reviews recent activity with list or report, and can point Bartib at a specific log file with --file or the BARTIB_FILE environment variable. Because the log is plaintext, manual edits and version-control-friendly workflows are practical.

Why package nerds care

Bartib is package-nerd significant as a modern Rust CLI that keeps state in transparent text instead of a service or database. It is easy to package, easy to audit, and useful as a small example of terminal-first personal productivity software.

Timeline

2021-02-04: The GitHub repository is created.
2021-11-15: Bartib 1.0.0 is released with basic tracking, reporting, and listing features.
2021-11-25: Bartib 1.0.1 adds weekly report arguments and documentation fixes.
2024-02-29: Bartib 1.1.0 adds changelog tracking, rounding, change, sanity checks, compact project listing, and CI updates.

Related projects

Bartib is related to terminal time trackers such as timewarrior, watson, and ledger-style plaintext workflows, but its own format is simpler: start and stop timestamps, project, and description in a single editable text file.
