Date: October 14, 2025
Status: ✅ COMPLETE (CLI MVP with Full API Architecture)
-
Domain Layer (
sitr_models.py)- User, Project, Tracking models (SQLModel)
- Clean separation of concerns
- Relationships and foreign keys
-
Repository Layer (
database_repositories.py)- BaseRepository with CRUD operations
- UserRepository, ProjectRepository, TrackingRepository
- Database abstraction
-
Service Layer (
time_management_service.py)- TimeManagementService with all business logic
- Transaction management
- Complex workflows (handover, auto-cleanup)
-
API Layer (
sitr_api.py) ⭐ NEW- FastAPI REST API with 15+ endpoints
- Pydantic v2 request/response models
- CORS middleware for future web UI
- Health check endpoint
-
API Client (
api_client.py) ⭐ NEW- HTTP client for CLI → API communication
- Auto-start server logic
- Retry mechanisms
- Error handling
-
Server Management (
server_manager.py) ⭐ NEW- Platform-independent server lifecycle
- PID file management
- Process health checks
- Log retrieval
-
Configuration System (
config_manager.py) ⭐ NEW- JSON-based config (~/.sitrconfig)
- Auto-migration from old format
- Singleton pattern
- User and server settings
-
CLI Interface (
sitr_cli.py)- Typer-based command structure
- Rich terminal output
- Fully API-based (no direct DB access)
- Server management commands
- Add, list, select, update, delete users
- Email-based identification
- Last active tracking
- Start/end workday
- Auto-cleanup of open items
- Timestamp tracking
- Create projects
- Start/end work on projects
- Archive completed projects
- List active projects
- Automatic handover (switching projects ends previous)
- Start breaks (pauses current work)
- End breaks
- Continue work (resume previous project)
- Break tracking with timestamps
server start- Manually start API serverserver stop- Stop running serverserver status- Check if server is runningserver restart- Restart serverserver logs- View server logs- Auto-start - Server starts automatically with any CLI command
- Persistent user selection
- Server host/port configuration
- Auto-start preference
- Migration from old config format
- Single source of truth: One model for DB and API
- snake_case throughout: No camelCase conversion needed
- from_attributes: Seamless ORM → Pydantic conversion
- No custom serializers required!
# CLI commands automatically ensure server is running
client = get_api_client() # Checks server health
result = client.create_user(...) # Auto-starts if needed- Uses
psutilfor cross-platform process management - Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows
- PID file for reliable server tracking

sitr_cli.py- Completely refactored to use API clientdatabase_repositories.py- Added get_by_email methodrequirements.txt- Added uvicorn, psutil, requests, email-validatorREADME.md- Complete documentation update
~1,500+ lines of production code for API layer
- ✅ User add
- ✅ User select
- ✅ Start workday
- ✅ Project add
- ✅ Start project
- ✅ Start break
- ✅ Continue (resume project)
- ✅ End project
- ✅ End workday
- ✅ Archive project
- ✅ List users
- ✅ List projects
- ✅ Server start
- ✅ Server status
- ✅ Server stop
- ✅ Server restart
- ✅ Auto-start on CLI command
- ✅ Migrated old
~/.sitr/current_userto new format - ✅ JSON config read/write works
- ✅ Current user persisted across sessions
GET /health
POST /api/usersGET /api/usersGET /api/users/{email}PUT /api/users/{email}DELETE /api/users/{email}POST /api/users/{email}/select
POST /api/workday/startPOST /api/workday/end
POST /api/projects/startPOST /api/projects/endPOST /api/projectsPOST /api/projects/archiveGET /api/projects
POST /api/breaks/startPOST /api/breaks/endPOST /api/breaks/continue
Total: 16 endpoints (all working and tested)
The API is ready for a web frontend:
- CORS already configured
- RESTful design
- JSON request/response
- Swagger UI available at
/docs
Same API can be used by:
- React Native app
- Flutter app
- Native iOS/Android apps
Architecture already supports:
- Multiple users in database
- User selection/switching
- Per-user project isolation

- Single-Machine Only: Server runs locally (could add remote server support)
- No Authentication: API has no auth (could add JWT tokens)
- No Reporting: No analytics or time reports (could add report generation)
- No Web UI: CLI only (could build React/Vue frontend)
- SQLite Only: No PostgreSQL/MySQL support (could add via SQLModel)
The SITR project is 100% complete for the CLI MVP scope with full API architecture:
✅ All core features working
✅ Full API layer implemented
✅ Server management complete
✅ Configuration system working
✅ Complete workflow tested
✅ Documentation updated
✅ Clean, maintainable code
✅ DDD architecture preserved
✅ Ready for future extensions
The project is ready to use and ready to be extended with a GUI when needed!
Built with SQLModel, FastAPI, Typer, and Rich ❤️
