Count things (by tag and value). Keep a simple log (.txt file).
It's done for my personal use. It's still in progress. Feel free to contribute with suggestions, questions, code.
No params, so help is displayed. Also the txt file is created.

Do you want to count your worked hours? Good. Create the worked_hours tag. Sure you can count anything you want. Negative numbers are not a problem. Use 12.345 (point) for float values.

Now you can add your worked hours. You can use story mode (adding message for each action). Also for quick use you can use without value (default one is used: 1).

Not sure you can have a better record in reading books. :D List books I read today. Oh, maybe it's better to count pages. You can anytime make changes in database (it's a simple .txt file). Make sure you keep the structure.

You can't add values for an unknown tag. This is how you check your tags:
ghitabizau@notebook:~/ghita-work/cli-count$ python cli-count.py tags
INFO - Listing tags...
['worked_hours', 'books_i_read']
Too long? You can rename it.

Not sure. I must try it some weeks. But it seems to be ready to be used in multiple ways as counter, log, journal, TODO list (why not?), etc. I am curious if you find new ways to use a product like this. :) Feel free to contact me.
