Toggl tally is a rich Python command line interface for tracking progress against your monthly project targets and calculating the daily hours you need to work to hit your goals. Toggl tally connects to the Toggl Track API, and supports:

• Filtering by workspaces, clients or projects
• Configurable invoicing day of month
• Configurable weekly working days
• Excluding (and reporting upcoming) public holidays in your configured country

Install using pip:

pip install toggl-tally

Toggl tally handles connection to the Toggl Track API; all you need to do is make your Toggl API token available as an environment variable. Get your Toggl API token from the Toggl profile page and set it as the TOGGL_API_TOKEN environment variable.

Toggl tally needs to be configured with your monthly goals and projects. This configuration can be passed either via a YAML file or via command line arguments and options. YAML file configuration is the most streamlined and DRY for daily use.

The path to the YAML config file can either be passed as a command-line argument (toggl-tally -c /path/to/config.yaml) or can be detected automatically from the environment variable TOGGL_TALLY_CONFIG.

The configurable keys are as below, and a full example yaml config is provided with this repo.

hours_per_month: 160
invoice_day: 18
workspaces:
clients:
  - MegaCorp
projects:
  - Widget Building
skip_today: false
timezone: Africa/Johannesburg
working_days:
  - MO
  - TU
  - WE
  - TH
  - FR
country: ZA
exclude_public_holidays: true

Alternatively, all configuration can be passed with command-line arguments to the hours command. See the CLI help for detailed information about each argument and option.

    WORKSPACE ||--o{ CLIENT : has
    WORKSPACE ||--o{ PROJECT : has
    WORKSPACE ||--o{ TIME_ENTRY : has
    CLIENT |o--|{ PROJECT : has
    PROJECT |o--o{ TIME_ENTRY : has

toggl_tally enables filtering by multiple workspace, client or project names. The UNION across all of these entities is taken to determine the final set of time entries. For example, for the filter criteria:

workspaces:
clients:
  - MegaCorp
  - HyperCorp
projects:
  - Widget Building
  - Baz refactoring

A time entry will be included if it:

• Belongs to a project linked to the MegaCorp client OR
• Belongs to a project linked to the HyperCorp client OR
• Belongs to the Widget Building project OR
• Belongs to the Baz refactoring project

The hours command is the core command for Toggl tally. It reports:

• Working days to go before next invoice date
• Daily hours needed to hit monthly target by next invoice date
• Hours worked on relevant projects since last invoice
• A monthly progress bar

The hours command has a --verbose (-v) flag, which if enabled also reports:

• Active workspace, project and client filters
• Upcoming public holidays in the working period

To install toggl_tally for development, run:

pip install -e '.[dev]'
