TIMEW-HINTS(7)

✨ TIMEW-HINTS ✨

okay so bestie, this is the TIMEW-HINTS(7) page from the User Manuals section — it's literally the whole tea on Timewarrior hints, and honestly? it's giving cheat sheet. 🫶

💫 NAME 💫

timew-hints — Timewarrior hints. that's it, that's the name, we love a short queen 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ok so there's genuinely nothing here 😭 no synopsis, no arguments, nothing — the section exists but it's empty. iconic of it tbh. moving on 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

right so — Timewarrior supports hints, and a hint is literally a single-word command line feature that starts with a colon. like so:

:week

Hints do a few different jobs, and this is the important part. that :week up there? it's a shortcut for the date range that defines the current week. one word, whole week. slay. ✨

then there's other hints, like:

:quiet

and those are the ways you control the behavior of Timewarrior — in this specific case :quiet eliminates all forms of feedback, which is exactly what you want for automation. no chatter, just vibes and output. 🧚

here's the full list of supported hints, no cap:

• :quiet — turns off all feedback. for automation 💀
• :debug — runs in debug mode, shows many runtime details 🔍
• :yes — overrides confirmation by answering 'yes' to the questions
• :color — forces color on, even if not connected to a TTY 🌈
• :nocolor — forces color off, even if connected to a TTY
• :blank — leaves tracked time out of a report
• :fill — expands time to fill surrounding available gap
• :adjust — automatically corrects overlaps
• :ids — displays interval ID numbers in the summary report

🎀 Range hints 🎀

ok now the range hints, which are convenient shortcuts to date ranges — this is the section you're gonna screenshot and send to your group chat, fr fr:

• :all — all tracked time 👑
• :yesterday — the 24 hours of the previous day
• :day / :today — the 24 hours of the current day ⭐
• :week — this week
• :fortnight — this week and the one before
• :month — this month
• :quarter — this quarter
• :year — this year
• :lastweek — last week
• :lastmonth — last month
• :lastquarter — last quarter
• :lastyear — last year
• :monday — previous monday
• :tuesday — previous tuesday
• :wednesday — previous wednesday
• :thursday — previous thursday
• :friday — previous friday
• :saturday — previous saturday
• :sunday — previous sunday 🦋

note the weekday ones all say previous — not "this coming", not "next", previous. lowkey important, don't @ me 💅

and that's the whole page!! this dropped as part of timew 1.9.1, dated 2025-11-02 — so if you're out here hinting with an older build, vibe check your version first 😭💖 go forth and :week responsibly, bestie 🫶✨
