About Hamster
Hamster is time tracking for individuals. It helps you to keep track of how
much time you have spent during the day on activities you choose to track.
Whenever you change from doing one task to other, you change your current
activity in Hamster. After a while you can see how many hours you have spent on
what. Maybe print it out, or export to some suitable format, if time reporting
is a request of your employer.
Features:
Fast and easy data entry with autocompletion of recent activities
Flexible grouping with @categories and #tags
Day, week, month or custom views with tallies by groups
Generation of html reports (can be customized)
Data export in text, xml and tsv formats
