🚀 How to Use

Quick Start

  1. Install dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt
  2. Run demo: python demo.py (creates sample data)
  3. Use CLI: python main.py

Individual Features

  • Add Tasks: Log tasks with duration and focus scores
  • View Summaries: Daily, weekly, and category breakdowns
  • Generate Reports: Text reports and visual charts
  • Search Tasks: Find specific tasks by various criteria

🎯 Intentional TODOs for Contributors

The project includes several intentional areas for improvement that contributors can work on:

High Priority TODOs

  1. Add Pomodoro Timer Integration - Countdown timers, breaks, and notifications
  2. Add Productivity Scoring Algorithm - Advanced scoring based on focus + time spent
  3. Fix occasional bug: chart not updating if data added after chart generation - Chart refresh issues
  4. Add Export Reports to Excel or PDF feature - Data export functionality
  5. Integrate Rich library for colored CLI output - Better user experience

Future Extensions

  1. Add Daily Goal Tracker - Set and track target hours per day
  2. Implement Unit Tests for utils.py functions - Test coverage
  3. Tkinter GUI - Graphical user interface
  4. Web interface - Browser-based access
  5. Mobile app - Cross-platform mobile support

Getting Started with Contributions

  2. Create a feature branch
  3. Implement your changes
  4. Add tests if applicable
  5. Submit a pull request

📊 Sample Data Generated

The demo creates 10 sample tasks across 3 days:

  • Work tasks: Morning Standup, Code Review, Feature Development, Documentation, Project Planning
  • Personal tasks: Reading, Cooking
  • Exercise: Gym Workout
  • Study: Python Learning
  • Household: House Cleaning

Total Time: 12.5 hours across 10 tasks Average Focus: 7.3/10 Most Productive Category: Work (8.0 hours)

🧪 Testing Results

  • ✅ Database Operations - All CRUD operations working correctly
