genee

genee is a simple habit tracker program for the command line

Features

• Daily tracking of habits 📅
• Open storage format: SQLite database 📄
• Pretty diagrams to compare successive periods of habit data 📊
• Store default settings persistently 💾

Workflow

1. 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, whereas PNO stands for the instrumental practice.
2. Download the latest release from this repository.
3. 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
4. Each day, fill in whether you practiced the particular habits the previous day or not. Run genee which opens an interactive terminal interface. Habit data for each day can be added and edited, and various statistics are shown.
