FitLog

FitLog — Productivity Toolkit

FitLog is a command-line productivity toolkit for adding tasks, planning activities, tracking progress, reviewing work, maintaining streaks, setting reminders, prioritizing items, archiving entries, tagging content, viewing timelines, generating reports, and conducting weekly reviews — all with full timestamped history.

Commands

Each primary command (add, plan, track, review, etc.) works in two modes:

• With arguments: Saves the input with a timestamp to its dedicated .log file and prints a confirmation with the running total
• Without arguments: Displays the 20 most recent entries from that command's log

Data Storage

All data is stored in ~/.local/share/fitlog/:

• Per-command logs: add.log, plan.log, track.log, review.log, streak.log, remind.log, prioritize.log, archive.log, tag.log, timeline.log, report.log, weekly-review.log
• History log: history.log — unified activity log across all commands
• Export files: export.json, export.csv, or export.txt when using the bulk export feature

Each log entry is stored as YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM|<value> (pipe-delimited).

Requirements

• Bash 4+
• No external dependencies or API keys required
• Standard POSIX utilities (wc, du, grep, tail, head, date)

When to Use

1. Daily task tracking — Use fitlog add and fitlog track to log tasks and activities throughout the day, building a timestamped record of everything you accomplish
2. Planning and prioritization — Use fitlog plan and fitlog prioritize to record plans and priority decisions, keeping a clear audit trail of what was planned vs. what was done
3. Building consistency streaks — Use fitlog streak to log daily check-ins and milestone completions, helping you maintain productive habits over time
4. Weekly reviews — Use fitlog weekly-review to summarize each week's progress, then fitlog stats to see aggregate numbers across all commands
5. Archiving and organizing — Use fitlog tag and fitlog archive to categorize and archive entries, keeping your active logs clean while preserving historical data
