# Monitor My Time (mmtime)
This CLI tool aims at offering a deamon-like process that works in the background and monitors the
time that the user had spent on a collection of applications.
This collection of applications can be defined in the `~/.config/mmtime-vX.X/targets` file, where every
application, that the user wants to track the amount of time he/she spend in, is listed in a sperated
time. i.e
```
# My target apps.
Discord
Code
Slack
Mpv
Firefox
Vim
```
The `mmtime` tool will then track all the time spent on these applications and write that to a
db file (`~/.local/share/mmtime-vX.X/targets.stats.db`).
Besides, there will be a system tray applet that will allow the user to see the current monitoring related stats, this will give the user the ability to see the stats live and also through a menu item reload the configuration file (`targets` file).
## Setup & Installation ( Using Go tools )

# make sure to install xterm & yad (for some use these commands)
[[ "$HOSTNAME" == "debian" ]] && sudo apt install xterm yad
[[ "$HOSTNAME" == "ubuntu" ]] && sudo apt install xterm yad
[[ "$HOSTNAME" == "fedora" ]] && sudo dnf install xterm yad
# build the binary (this requires Go to be installed )
make build
# setup the environment and mv the binary to ~/.local/share
make install
# (Optional) you can create a symlink to the binary
# to /usr/local/bin, or directly copy the binary to it.
```
