Time logging software

Time logging software

[Sebastian Tennant]

Hi list,

Anyone know of any time logging/managing software for Emacs?  Something
like:

 M-x clock-in RET
 => "Job? "
 "Client A" RET
 => "Clock started on 'Client A'."

 M-x clock-out RET
 => "Clock stopped on 'Client A'.  Timesheet updated."

Sebastian

But you probably also want to check Org's capabilities in this area:

  (info "(org)Clocking work time")

I have used worklog for a short wile to keep track on my working
hours.  It is very simple.  I am not sure how it compares to the above
suggestions.

I have used logger.el by Ray Nickson in the past - it suited my needs at the
time.

I strongly suggest the OP to follow Bastien's suggestion. Even if
org-mode does a lot more than just tracking "time logging"
informations, all it does is very valuable in many areas
including planning, quick notes jotting, authoring, etc.

Many thanks to all posters.  To summarise, for the benefit of others:

Emacs' time logging software options
------------------------------------
    org mode - (info "(org)Clocking work time") - Part of GNU Emacs

timeclock.el - M-x timeclock-in/out/change      - Part of GNU Emacs

  *logger.el - M-x logger                       - Not part of GNU Emacs

  worklog.el - http://wiersma.org               - Not part of GNU Emacs

*http://groups.google.com/group/gnu.emacs.sources/msg/16f5e0dff5f92390?output=gplain

Org mode's time logging functionality is very featureful (and integrated
with its TODO functionality).

timeclock.el is based around the concept of a working day and will tell
you how much time has elapsed, or remains, in a day, but doesn't keep a
running total of time spent on a project.

logger.el is _old_ and yet to be tested (by me)

worklog.el is unavailable at present (Arjen Wiersma is _so_ busy, _you_
don't have time to look at his website!!! :-)
