sum the time used per day
Once when I was young, I have tried this, too. It turned out that all days used 24 hours, more or less exactly. After a while I found it too boring and let it be...

Ahah !! 😂 so true !
No caldav option that I know of, but several time tracking options.
- Kimai
- Solidtime
- TimeTagger
- Traggo
- ActivityWatch
Thanks, but I'm looking specially for a tool to 'extract' information from a caldav agenda.
The main point is that I use it to book my meetings and so on. And I don't want to have to track my time in another app. :)
Not exactly that but Cfait (which I develop) is a CalDAV task manager (which has an option to create calendar events). I added a time tracking feature so you can add / manage sessions (which show up in the calendar if you chose to activate it) and you do get a total time.
Do you mean this one? https://codeberg.org/trougnouf/cfait
Very nice project! 🤠
Yes :-) thank you!
This might be a little overkill, but Home Assistant can do this.
- Add the calendar to Home Assistant. You don't have to manage it there, but it'll have access.
- Under Settings - > Devices & services -> Helpers add a helper of the type
History Stats. - For the
Entity, select the calendar you want to track, and theTypewould be Time. - Next it'll ask you which
Stateto track. Depending on the specifics, you'll probably want to track if the calendar isOn, meaning there's something on the calendar. You can track multiple States, but you probably only needOn. - On the last page of the wizard you'll put start and end times. If you want to track from Midnight until Now, here's what it would look like:
Start: {{ now().replace(hour=0, minute=0, second=0) }}
End: {{ now() }}
You can probably adjust the end time to 23:59 if you want to see what's in store for the day looking ahead, but I haven't tried it.
A bit overkill, right. But that's nice to know there is a way.
I have a raspberry pi zero at home, maybe I can try that at some point. 😊
I searched around a bit and found https://github.com/dreiekk/calcdav
not sure if it still works, last commit was 3 years ago (on the other hand, there was no AI vibecoding back then, so thats a plus), but it looks like it might do exactly what you're looking for

:D
Ohh!! nice, I didn't see it when I searched.
I'm trying to install it on linux, that's not working so far, but I keep it in mind. :)
Not CalDav but timewarrior does exactly what you describe.
Very nice, indeed, but I use caldav to book all my stuff. That's hard to replace.
Well, you have already written the prompt 🪄
