# sleep-tracker Health and wellness tracker for logging daily activities, tracking streaks, viewing statistics, setting reminders and goals, and getting health tips. A versatile CLI tool for building and maintaining healthy habits. ## Commands | Command | Description | |---------|-------------| | `sleep-tracker log <entry>` | Log a new entry with today's date | | `sleep-tracker today` | Show all entries logged today | | `sleep-tracker streak` | Check your current streak of consecutive days | | `sleep-tracker stats` | Show total number of entries in the data log | | `sleep-tracker reminder <task> [time]` | Set a reminder for a task (default time: 8:00) | | `sleep-tracker tips` | Get health tips (hydration, movement, sleep) | | `sleep-tracker goal <goal> [frequency]` | Set a goal with optional frequency (default: daily) | | `sleep-tracker history` | View the last 14 entries from the data log | | `sleep-tracker export` | Export all data to stdout | | `sleep-tracker reset` | Reset tracker (requires `--confirm` flag to actually clear data) | | `sleep-tracker help` | Show help message with all available commands | | `sleep-tracker version` | Show version number | ## How It Works `sleep-tracker` manages a simple text-based data log (`data.log`) where each entry is automatically stamped with the current date. It provides a lightweight way to track health activities, build streaks, and review your history. ### Daily Workflow 1. **Log activities**: Record what you did — exercise, meals, sleep times, etc. 2. **Check today**: Review everything logged today with `sleep-tracker today` 3. **Track progress**: Use `streak` to see consecutive days and `stats` for totals 4. **Set goals and reminders**: Keep yourself accountable with `goal` and `reminder` 5. **Review history**: Look at the last 2 weeks with `history` ## Data Storage All data is stored in `$SLEEP_TRACKER_DIR` or defaults to `~/.local/share/sleep-tracker/`. The directory contains: - `data.log` — main data file with date-stamped entries - `history.log` — timestamped log of all commands executed for auditing The tool automatically creates the data directory on first run. You can override the storage location by setting the `SLEEP_TRACKER_DIR` environment variable. ## Requirements - **Shell**: Bash 4+ - **No external dependencies** — uses only standard Unix utilities (`date`, `grep`, `wc`, `tail`, `cat`) - **Works on**: Linux, macOS, any POSIX-compatible system ## When to Use 1. **Daily health logging** — Run `sleep-tracker log "8h sleep, felt rested"` each morning to build a habit history 2. **Tracking exercise streaks** — Log workouts daily and check `sleep-tracker streak` to stay motivated with consecutive-day tracking 3. **Setting health reminders** — Use `sleep-tracker reminder "drink water" 14:00` to record reminder notes for key health tasks 4. **Reviewing weekly patterns** — Run `sleep-tracker history` to see the last 14 entries and spot trends in your health data 5. **Exporting data for analysis** — Use `sleep-tracker export > health-data.txt` to get all records into a file for spreadsheet analysis or sharing with a health professional ## Examples ```bash # Log a sleep entry sleep-tracker log "Slept 7.5 hours, quality 4/5" # Log exercise sleep-tracker log "30 min jog, 5km" # Log meals sleep-tracker log "Healthy breakfast: oatmeal, fruit, coffee" # Check what you logged today sleep-tracker today # View your streak sleep-tracker streak # Get overall statistics sleep-tracker stats # Set a daily water reminder sleep-tracker reminder "drink 2L water" 10:00 # Set a fitness goal sleep-tracker goal "run 5km" weekly # Get health tips sleep-tracker tips # View the last 14 entries sleep-tracker history # Export all data to a file sleep-tracker export > my-health-log.txt # Reset (dry run — shows instructions) sleep-tracker reset ``` ## Health Tips (Built-in) The `tips` command provides three core health reminders: 1. **Stay hydrated** — drink water throughout the day 2. **Move every hour** — take short breaks from sitting 3. **Sleep 7-8 hours** — prioritize consistent rest ## Configuration Set the `SLEEP_TRACKER_DIR` environment variable to change the data directory: ```bash export SLEEP_TRACKER_DIR="$HOME/my-health-data" ``` Default location: `~/.local/share/sleep-tracker/` ## Output All output goes to stdout in plain text. Use shell redirection to save results: ```bash sleep-tracker history > weekly-review.txt sleep-tracker export | grep "2024-03" ``` --- Powered by BytesAgain | bytesagain.com | hello@bytesagain.com
