Hey! A Time & Interruption Tracker
"Hey! I've got a question."
"Hey can you take a look at this?"
"Hey, did you finish that thing?"
"Hey!"
Sound familiar?
Interested in tracking just how many times you're interrupted and by
who?
What about simply tracking how much time you spend on each
project?
Well hey, maybe Hey! is the tool for you.
Tracking Interruptions
When someone walks up to you and starts talking, breaks your concentration with
yet another slack message, or diety forbid, actually calls your phone...just
type hey <person's name>
on the command line.
That's it. An entry in a local db will be created for the event, who did it, and when it happened.
Track it for long enough and patterns are sure to emerge. Maybe you'll find that a little documentation could save you hours a week. Maybe you'll find that one person that's devouring more time than anyone else and discuss a better way to handle things.
Tracking Time
Time tracking requires a project to start a timer.
hey start @project_x
You can stop it with hey stop
Hey supports multiple projects and tags per timer, and multiple
simultaneous timers. You can easily backdate the start and stop time of a
timer too.

Why not a GUI app?
Well, a GUI app would be nice, but I spend a lot of time in the command line, and it was fast to write.
