ShellTime.xyz: The Command Line Tracking Service You Need
Have you ever wondered how many commands you’ve typed in your terminal? How many times you’ve run npm? What commands you used last week? Or if there’s room for improvement?
ShellTime.xyz is here!
By injecting hooks into your shell, ShellTime.xyz records and collects your command history. You can easily review your recent commands on our website, analyze your productivity patterns, and dive into comprehensive statistics.
Weekly Report
Every Monday, we’ll send you a report summarizing your activity from the past week, including your most-used commands, peak productivity times, supported devices, most frequently used shells, and more.
Of course, we’ll continue adding new reports and insights in the future.
Multi-Device Support
If you’re like me, managing multiple devices—say, two Macs and ten servers—it’s easy to lose track of what was done on each machine. With ShellTime.xyz, you can quickly view what you’ve done on any specific device over time.
Privacy
We understand that command execution is private, especially when it involves sensitive data like cookies or authorization tokens in curl commands. Don’t worry—ShellTime.xyz anonymizes your data on the client side before sending it to the server. Your sensitive information never leaves your machine.
If you’re still concerned or have better ideas for data masking, feel free to review our code or submit a pull request:
Leaderboard
For those who love competition, we have a “Leaderboard” section updated daily. It shows the top command users over the past 30 days.
We’re not saying using more commands is better—in fact, it might indicate worse productivity—but who doesn’t love stats?
Universal Account
We know you’re tired of remembering countless passwords and dealing with endless two-factor authentication. Don’t worry—ShellTime.xyz keeps it simple. All you need is a GitHub account to log in, grab your openToken, and integrate it into your local machine. Smooth!
