I’m self employed. I need to record how much time I spend on whatever task for whatever client.

Sounds simple, but I’m terrible at it. I always get to the end of the day without having recorded anything and not knowing what I’ve actually done.

Basically, I’d like to create a text log of the active window title, and take a screen cap.

I’d like to do this periodically as in every 15 minutes or so.

For the text log I just haven’t been able to achieve this at all.

For the screen caps I can use flameshot to take a screenshot from the CLI, but it makes a sound and shows an animation which is sub-optimal.

Any suggestions of where to look much appreciated.

        Lol, this is why the Linux community gets a bad rap. Somebody tries to be helpful and the community gets hostile. Hope you have a good rest of your week dude.

          It’s funny you say that. I was thinking exactly the same thing about your comments.

          I’ve asked for help, you posted a chatgpt response, and now you’ve claimed eleventy times that I seem like I don’t know where to start or don’t seem like the type to search things.

          “OP should’ve googled it first” is one of the hallmarks of toxic communities.
