genee
genee is a simple habit tracker program for the command line
Features
- Daily tracking of habits 📅
- Open storage format: simple CSV files 📄
- Pretty diagrams to compare successive periods of habit data 📊
- Store default settings persistently 💾
Workflow
- Figure out the list of habits to track. In this example, we would like to restrict
our gaming binges and increase the frequency of our piano exercise sessions.
GAM
stands for gaming, whereasPNO
stands for the instrumental practice. - Download the latest release from this repository.
- Using the downloaded executable, create a new data file to store the diary data.
Specify the list of habit abbreviations to use in this file:
genee new GAM,PNO
- Each day, fill in whether you practiced the particular habits the previous day or not.
This can be done by invoking
genee fill
. This is followed by a prompt for each habit. - After the fill command, the program displays the habit data of the current period (e.g. the number of habit occurences in the last 30 days) compared to the last period (the number of habit occurences between 30 and 60 days before now). This can be used to check whether our change of habits (picking up new habits, dropping bad ones) are on track or not.
