# Aliveline

## About

Aliveline is a small app made with Rust + Slint to track daily activity on a timeline.  
All activity is saved into TOML logs, which are human readable/editable.

App can operate in Record and Review modes.

Record mode can allows you to update timeline by starting, stopping and chaining events:

By clicking on the timeline in Record mode you can hide controls to make app smaller and place it somewhere in the background:

Review mode may be used to show some activity, tracker on another day:

Aliveline currently supports Linux only, but you can compile it to your platform

## Features

### Events
Events are main timeline building blocks. They have name, start and end.  
Example of event in TOML format shown below:
```toml
[[events]]
name = "test"
start = 12:05:45
end = 13:00:11
finished = true
```
_Note: if event is not finished yet, it may have_ `end = start`.

## Building
Requirements:  
- Rust toolchain

Instructions:  
Run `cargo build --release`

## Usage

Just run `aliveline` by any preferred way, for example:  
```
$ ./aliveline
```

## Configuration
Aliveline tries to find config at `$XDG_CONFIG_DIR/aliveline/config.toml`.  
If config isn't found, or `$XDG_CONFIG_DIR` is not set,  
Aliveline uses default values defined in [config.toml](https://2ndbeam.ru/git/2ndbeam/aliveline/src/branch/master/config.toml).  
Keep in mind that default paths are relative, and in this case logs will be written to and read from current working directory.
