Work Log

ADHD-friendly work tracker — single HTML file, runs locally in your browser.

How to use

Important: The tracker needs to run via a local server (not opened directly as a file) so your data saves correctly between sessions.

Windows

1. Download work-log.html, launch.bat, and start-server.ps1 into the same folder
2. Double-click launch.bat
3. The tracker opens automatically in your browser

Linux / Mac

1. Download work-log.html and launch.sh into the same folder
2. Open a terminal in that folder and run:

   bash launch.sh
   

3. The tracker opens automatically in your browser

Your data is stored locally in your browser — nothing is sent anywhere.

Data lives per-origin, so keep the port stable. Your entries are stored in your browser's localStorage, which is scoped to the exact origin:port you loaded the page from. Both launchers use a fixed port (8080) for this reason — if you ever load the tracker from a different port, your previous data won't show up (it's not gone, it's just stranded on the old port). Reload http://localhost:8080/work-log.html to get it back.

Features

Time tracking

• Live timer — start a timer on any task, pause and resume, add a handoff note when stopping
• Billable tracking — mark epics and individual entries as billable; totals shown per task and per day
• Quick pick — recent tasks shown as chips for fast re-logging
• Long-running timer warning — dismissible alert once a running timer passes 4 hours, with a one-click stop; also asks whether to stop if you return to the tab after it's sat hidden 30+ minutes mid-session

Tasks

• Kanban board — drag tasks between To Do / In Progress / Done columns with epic colour coding
• WIP warning — amber highlight and dismissable banner when more than one task is in progress
• Task subtasks — split any task into child steps; completing all steps completes the parent
• Deadlines — date picker with overdue (red) and due-today (amber) highlighting
• Auto-carry — unfinished tasks roll over to the next day automatically
• Jira import — paste a Jira CSV export to bulk-add tickets as tasks
• Weekly plan review — a dismissible checklist appears once a new week begins for any task planned ahead ("upcoming") and dated within it, so you can confirm it's still accurate before the week starts

Today's Flow

• Flow view — chronological feed merging time entries, log notes, and task updates for the day
• Log view — editable time log with duration, epic, billable flag, and ad-hoc entry row
• Proof links & notes — attach a link (Confluence page, Zephyr key, filename, or a URL) and a one-line note to any entry; shown as 🔗/📝 indicators and carried into exports
• Blocks view — visual 08:00–18:00 timeblock grid auto-filled from logged entries; drag to rearrange
• Month view — heatmap of hours per day with intensity colouring; monthly summary and task inventory
• Rolling Summary — AI-ready summary of recent activity across configurable days

Focus mode

• Focus screen — one-click distraction-free view showing only the active task and next steps
• Parked thoughts — capture stray thoughts mid-focus without leaving the screen
• Pomodoro timer — 5 / 10 / 20 min ring timer with session log; visible in focus mode

Planning

• Today's meetings — fetched live from Outlook calendar (Windows); shows time, duration, Teams join link. Only your own personal calendars are read — your mailbox and its archive, including secondary calendars nested inside another folder — not shared/delegate mailboxes or public folders, which are excluded automatically. A meeting counts as today's if it overlaps today at all — so multi-day events and meetings that run past midnight appear too. ✕ hides a single meeting for the rest of the day, not every meeting sharing its title. If long-running recurring meetings are missing, raise $CalendarLookBackYears in config.local.ps1 (see config.local.example.ps1). If a calendar you don't want still shows up — e.g. a shared calendar that reports as an ordinary folder — name it in $CalendarExcludeNames. http://localhost:8080/api/calendar?debug=1 reports what the collector found.
• Day streak — consecutive days with logged work

Export & review

• End the day — one-click summary with test areas and tomorrow's notes, exported as .txt
• Daily hours entry draft — the End of Day modal shows a draft of the day's hours entry: total hours plus an activity (ticket, ticket) description built from your log. Edit it and press "copy description" to paste into your time-tracking system. One-click submit (Claude in Chrome first, Playwright as fallback) is built but switched off: set EOD_SUBMIT_ENABLED = true in src/js/00-config.local.js to show the submit button, and $EodSubmitEnabled = $true in config.local.ps1 to let the server accept it. It needs start-server.ps1, the Claude Code CLI with the Claude in Chrome extension, and/or a one-time npm run eod:login (Microsoft SSO) for the Playwright fallback, whose page selectors are unverified defaults — override them in scripts/eod-submit.selectors.json.
• Auto-backup — JSON backup saved automatically on end-of-day to a local JSON backups/ folder
• Weekly report — copy-to-clipboard draft summarising the calendar week's tracked time grouped by Jira ticket, for writing status updates without reconstructing "what did I touch" by hand
• Gap report — flags this week's finished, billable entries that are missing both a note and a proof link, with a one-click jump to fix each one
