## User Stories
## Motivation
- [ ] App must be fully offline
- [ ] Record time by starting a timer with a button
- [ ] Timers may (or may not) have descriptions
- [ ] Timers may (or may not) have a project
- [ ] Timers may be started with a missing description and/or project
- [ ] Timers may be started with a description and/or project pre-applied
- [ ] Timers must be manually stopped with a button
- [ ] Timers may be "resumed" by effectively cloning the project and description and starting from the current time
- [ ] Multiple timers may be active at once
- [ ] The user may specify a default project to pre-populate all new timers with
- [ ] Timers can be created manually by specifying a start time
- [ ] Optionally, an end time may be specified to prevent the timer from running
- [ ] Optionally, a length of time may be specified to prevent the timer from running and also automatically calculate the end time
- [ ] A “dashboard” screen will display:
- [ ] a list of the latest completed timers,
- [ ] the current running timers,
- [ ] an interface to start or create new timers
- [ ] Timers may be edited (whether running or not). All data related to each timer may be changed:
- [ ] Start time
- [ ] End time
- [ ] Description
- [ ] Project
- [ ] Timers may be deleted (whether running or not)
- [ ] A confirmation should be presented to the user to confirm the deletion
- [ ] Projects can be created with a project name and a colour
- [ ] The colour will be pre-populated by the system, chosen to not intersect with any other project colours
- [ ] The colour can be set by the user before creating the project
- [ ] The project name must never be empty
- [ ] Each project can be edited:
- [ ] The project name
- [ ] The project colour
- [ ] Export database using native OS sharing
- [ ] Export data as `csv` (or `xlsx`?) using native OS sharing
- [ ] Optionally filtered by:
1. Date
2. Project
- [ ] Optionally grouped by timer descriptions on a daily basis
- [ ] Export format should be able to include:
- [ ] Timer description
- [ ] Timer project
- [ ] Timer start time (RFC 3339)
- [ ] Timer end time (RFC 3339)
- [ ] Timer length in hours
- [ ] Timer length in minutes
- [ ] Export settings should be persisted and re-used as defaults
- [ ] The list of open-source software should be included
- [ ] Starting / stopping timers should be located at the bottom of the screen to facilitate one-handed operation
I'd rather not do time-tracking at all, but since its a necessity for my work, it's either use an app or keep track of things manually (which I'm terrible at). There are many time tracking apps on the app stores (and I have tried several of them), but each of them has at least one pain point that eventually drives me off—some cost more money than I think they should,
others have (what I consider) poorly designed interfaces, some are way too complicated, some don't export data easily, most require an internet connection, I have privacy concerns with a large number of them, etc, etc.
### In Consideration
Time tracking in and of itself is rather straightforward (hence all the apps on the app stores), so I figured “why not use this as an opportunity to practice mobile development and learn some new things?”. This app is the result of that question—its a useful tool that I use every day for work, but also a sample project to work off of and share with others.
* An in-app-purchase should be available as a donation towards the development of the app.
* Perhaps tied to the ability to export data (either reports or the database)?
* A reporting screen which gives you the same filtering options as exporting data in a spreadsheet but displays the results locally
* As charts
* As tables
## Features
## Mockups
* Offline-only, mobile-only (iOS / Android)
* Fully private—there is no tracking / spying / advertising / etc
* Keep track of tasks with multiple parallel timers that can be started with the tap of a button
* Associate timers with projects to group your work (or don't)
* Start, stop, edit, and delete timers whenever with no fuss
* Export data as a `.csv` file, filtered by timespans and projects
* Export the app's database for full access to all of its data
* Open source ([licensed under Apache-2.0](LICENSE))—fork away!

### Dashboard
I'm happy to take bug reports and pull requests if you want to help improve _Time Cop_, but I fundamentally want to keep this app relatively small and simple. If that's not for you, there's [plenty](https://toggl.com/) of [other](https://clockify.me/) [options](https://www.workpuls.com/) [out](https://www.manictime.com/) [there](https://trackabi.com/).

The app is created pretty much entirely in [Dart](https://dart.dev/) using [Flutter](https://flutter.dev/), and I tried to make heavy use of the [Bloc](https://bloclibrary.dev/#/) pattern.

A list of “user stories” (and I use that term very loosely) guiding the development of this app is available in [design/user-stories.md](design/user-stories.md); any unchecked boxes are outstanding items on the todo list!

## Mockups
Crudely drawn with http://asciiflow.com/, these are mockups that were created to explore what the interface of _Time Cop_ should look like. It hasn't ended up looking exactly like these mockups imply, but for the most part its fairly close.
