Habitica

Two tools for interacting with Habitica:

Python wrapper for the RESTful Habitica API (habitica.api)
Command-line interface with subcommands (e.g. > habitica todos)

Install

pip install habitica.

I push to pip fairly frequently, but if you'd like to be on the bleeding edge, clone this project and install it by hand:

> git clone https://github.com/philadams/habitica
> pip install -e habitica

Configure

You'll need to let the tool know how to connect to your Habitica account. To do this, you'll need to add the following credentials section in the file ~/.config/habitica/auth.cfg (you may need to create the folder(s) and file):

[Habitica]
url = https://habitica.com
login = USER_ID
password = API_KEY

There's a template for this file at auth.cfg.sample.

Replace USER_ID and API_KEY with the corresponding tokens from your Habitica settings>API page.

You can replace url as needed, for example if you're self-hosting a Habitica server.

Lastly, remember to chmod 600 ~/.config/habitica/auth.cfg to keep your credentials secret.

Usage

What's my character's status?

> habitica status
--------------
Level 83 Rogue
--------------
Health: 50/50
XP: 904/2690
Mana: 133/218
Pet: Gryphon-Base (11 food items)
Mount: FlyingPig-Base

Show me my todo items:

> habitica todos
[ ]  1 update habitica README with example instructions
[ ]  2 vacuum the car
[ ]  3 read Bell and Jofish "Designing technology for domestic spaces"
[ ]  4 order new contact lenses
[ ]  5 complete Keppi project report and share with Geri
[ ]  6 set up dinner with friends at Agava for Saturday night

Complete a todo:

> habitica todos done 1
marked todo 'update habitica README with example instructions' complete
[ ] 1 vacuum the car
[ ] 2 read Bell and Jofish "Designing technology for domestic spaces"
[ ] 3 order new contact lenses
[ ] 4 complete Keppi project report and share with Geri
[ ] 5 make reservation at Agava for Saturday night

Complete multiple todos. All done, undo, up, down commands can take one or more tasks as arguments, using either comma-separated lists or ranges or both:

> habitica todos done 1,3-5
marked todo 'update habitica README with example instructions' complete
marked todo 'vacuum the car' complete
marked todo 'order new contact lenses' complete
marked todo 'complete Keppi project report and share with Geri' complete
marked todo 'make reservation at Agava for Saturday night' complete
[ ] 1 read Bell and Jofish "Designing technology for domestic spaces"

Add a new (hard!) todo. By default --difficulty=easy:

> habitica todos add finish dissertation --difficulty=hard
added new todo 'finish dissertation'
[ ] 1 finish dissertation
[ ] 2 read Bell and Jofish "Designing technology for domestic spaces"

Show me my habits, and how well I'm doing with each:

> habitica habits
[*******] 1 commit code
[****] 2 drink water
[******] 3 encourage others

Record improvement with some habits:

> habitica habits up 2,3
incremented task 'drink water'
incremented task 'encourage others'
[*******] 1 commit code
[****] 2 drink water
[******] 3 encourage others

Show me my dailies and each daily's state:

> habitica dailies
[ ] 1 pushups (5x20)
[ ] 2 clean dishes before bed
[x] 3 2x90mins writing

Complete a daily task:

> habitica dailies done 1
marked daily 'pushups (5x20)' completed
[x] 1 pushups (5x20)
[ ] 2 clean dishes before bed
[x] 3 2x90mins writing

Is the Habitica server up?

> habitica server
Habitica server is up

Help

Via habitica --help:

Habitica command-line interface.

Usage: habitica [--version] [--help]
                <command> [<args>...] [--difficulty=<d>]
                [--verbose | --debug] [--checklists]

Options:
  -h --help         Show this screen
  --version         Show version
  --difficulty=<d>  (easy | medium | hard) [default: easy]
  --verbose         Show some logging information
  --debug           Some all logging information
  -c --checklists   Toggle displaying checklists on or off

The habitica commands are:
  status                  Show HP, XP, GP, and more
  habits                  List habit tasks
  habits up <task-id>     Up (+) habit <task-id>
  habits down <task-id>   Down (-) habit <task-id>
  dailies                 List daily tasks
  dailies done            Mark daily <task-id> complete
  dailies undo            Mark daily <task-id> incomplete
  todos                   List todo tasks
  todos done <task-id>    Mark one or more todo <task-id> completed
  todos add <task>        Add todo with description <task>
  todos delete <task-id>  Delete one or more todo <task-id>
  server                  Show status of Habitica service
  home                    Open tasks page in default browser

For `habits up|down`, `dailies done|undo`, `todos done`, and `todos
delete`, you can pass one or more <task-id> parameters, using either
comma-separated lists or ranges or both. For example, `todos done
1,3,6-9,11`.

To show checklists with "todos" and "dailies" permanently, set
'checklists' in your auth.cfg file to `checklists = true`.

Shell completion

Thanks to mohsend, habitica now has shell completion! Basically, you'll want to add the following to your ~/.profile:

if [ -f PATH_TO_SITE_PACKAGES/habitica/shell_completion.sh ]; then
    . PATH_TO_SITE_PACKAGES/habitica/shell_completion.sh
fi

You can find your site-packages path with python -c 'import habitica; print habitica.__path__[0]'.

Thanks

Many thanks to the following excellent projects:

And to contributors to this project.
