habit

habit is a CLI tool for tracking and visualizing your habits

What sets it apart from other task managers is its focus on habitual, repetitive tasks, as opposed to tasks that go away after completion, offering a means to maintain, track, and visualize your progress on tasks that serve more long term, personal goals.

habit understands that some items need a little work every day, and typically (unless there's something looming over your head it's hard to find the motivation to keep that daily work up!

Quick Start

Features

Create Habits

Habit are input via CLI and tagged with a category.

It will make the most semantic sense for you to use a gerund phrase Example: habit start 'Reaching out to friends' --tag social --short chatting

A tag will group the habit with other habits in the same tag when displayed. A shortName is an optional shorter way to refer to the habit when updating it. If not supplied, the first word will be used.

Track Habit Progress

Use a "tick" to track progress you've made toward a longterm goal / set of habits. Example: habit tick chatting

Visualize

Beautiful colorized visualizations of your progress are at the heart of this project! What better way to be proud of the progress you've made?

There are two ways to visualize, list and hist

list

Output all your habits, grouped and colorized by the tag you have assigned them, along with the time since you last ticked one.

Example: habit list

hist

Output a "histogram" of sorts to show your dilligence towards all your habits. This is very naive currently. Proper aggregation is soon to come.

Example: habit hist

Get Prompted!

If you're at a loss for what to do, you can ask habit for a suggestion, and it'll output a random habit of yours

Example:

$ habit suggest
Hmm, you about you try listening to a new podcast?
