Fast logbook PWA

Overview

Fast Logbook PWA is a web application that allows you to easily create and manage work records with timestamps. Implemented as a Progressive Web App (PWA), it can be installed and used offline.

Basic Operations

Main Screen

Shortcut Function: Press buttons 1-9 displayed at the top of the screen to input frequently used phrases or content with a single touch.
Save Status: Check the save status with the "●" mark displayed in the navigation bar at the top of the screen.

Menu Operations

Tap the hamburger menu (≡) in the upper left to open the side menu.

Display Formatted Log: Shows your recorded content in a formatted view.
Download Formatted Log: Download your records as a file.
Settings: Change application settings.
Delete Log: Delete all recorded content (a confirmation dialog will be displayed).
Install PWA: Install as an app from the browser (only displayed on supported devices).

Shortcut Settings

You can set frequently used phrases for shortcut keys 1-9. These can be edited from the settings screen. Field 0 can be used for entering phrases for temporary use.

Summary Format Examples

Fast Logbook enables automatic summarization when records follow specific formats. The following rules apply to the summary function:

Tags starting with "^": Treated as comments or metadata excluded from counting
";" separator: Text before the semicolon is grouped, and text after is treated as detailed information

Basic Summary Format Example

2025-03-06 10:00Meeting;Project A progress check
2025-03-06 11:30Development;Login screen implementation
2025-03-06 13:00Meeting;Weekly team MTG
2025-03-06 15:30Review;Code review response
2025-03-06 16:45^Tomorrow's task memo: Continue API development
2025-03-06 17:00Development;Bug fix #42

* "Meeting", "Development", and "Review" are tallied as groups, and lines starting with "^" are not counted.

Project-Specific Summary Format Example

2025-03-06 09:15Project A;Specification review
2025-03-06 10:30Project A;Create feedback
2025-03-06 10:45^This project is scheduled to be completed this week
2025-03-06 11:00Project B;Team MTG
2025-03-06 13:30Project A;Modification work

* "Project A" and "Project B" are tallied as groups, allowing calculation of working hours for each project.

Customer Summary Format Example

2025-03-06 09:00Customer A;Design review MTG
2025-03-06 10:30^Next meeting scheduled for next Wednesday
2025-03-06 10:45Customer B;Create proposal materials
2025-03-06 13:00Customer A;Modification response
2025-03-06 15:00Customer C;Initial hearing

* Time is tallied for each of "Customer A", "Customer B", and "Customer C".

Task Type Summary Format Example

2025-03-06 09:00Development;Database design
2025-03-06 11:30Meeting;Weekly regular
2025-03-06 12:00^Check this week's KPIs
2025-03-06 13:00Development;API implementation
2025-03-06 15:45Testing;Create unit tests
2025-03-06 16:00Documentation;Create API specification

* Time is tallied by work types: "Development", "Meeting", "Testing", and "Documentation".

Case Number Summary Format Example

2025-03-06 10:15PRJ-001;Customer meeting
2025-03-06 11:30PRJ-001;Requirements organization
2025-03-06 13:00^Make note of important points
2025-03-06 14:00PRJ-002;Code implementation
2025-03-06 16:30PRJ-001;Create specification document

* Time is tallied for each case number such as "PRJ-001" and "PRJ-002".

Combined Tabulation Format Example

2025-03-06 09:30Development PRJ-001;Dashboard implementation
2025-03-06 10:00^Mobile support to be implemented later
2025-03-06 11:00Meeting PRJ-001;Client MTG
2025-03-06 14:15Development PRJ-002;Authentication feature implementation
2025-03-06 17:00Testing PRJ-001;Create test cases

* Multiple classifications can be combined by separating with spaces. In this example, you can tabulate by combining work type and project number.

Hint: To perform summaries smoothly, it's important to record group names consistently. Be careful, as similar meanings like "Meeting" and "Conference" will be tallied as separate groups if different notations are used. Date and time are recorded automatically, but you can also enter them explicitly as in the examples above.

About Deleting Logs

When you press the "Delete Log" button, a confirmation dialog will appear. Please note that once deletion is executed, all recorded content will be erased and cannot be restored.

Offline Features

When installed as a PWA, it can be used in environments without internet connection. Data is saved on the device.

Version Information

The current version is displayed next to "ver." at the bottom of the side menu.

How to Use the Configuration Screen

On the configuration screen, you can customize the application's behavior and display.

Time Rounding Unit Setting

You can round timestamp times to a specified unit. You can choose from the following options:

1 minute: Record time in 1-minute units (default)
5 minutes: Round time to 5-minute units
10 minutes: Round time to 10-minute units
15 minutes: Round time to 15-minute units
30 minutes: Round time to 30-minute units
60 minutes: Round time to 60-minute units

This setting helps balance time precision and log readability. For example, if set to 15-minute units, a 10:07 record will be rounded to either 10:00 or 10:15, whichever is closer.

Shortcut Item Settings

You can set the text assigned to shortcut keys (1-9) used on the main screen.

For example:

"Meeting Start"
"Break"
"Resume Work"
"Task Complete"

Setting these shortcuts allows you to record frequently input content with a single touch.

Hint: For efficient work recording, we recommend registering frequently used phrases and templates as shortcuts.

Saving Settings

Settings are saved automatically. When you return to the main screen after making changes, the new settings are applied immediately.
