Redmyne

Personal workload management for Redmine — log time, track capacity, stay in flow.

Redmine's web UI answers "How is the project doing?" Redmyne answers "How is my workload doing?" — what's assigned to me, am I overbooked, how much did I log today — without leaving your IDE.

[!NOTE] Actively developed and stable for daily use; expect the occasional breaking change. Please report issues.

Quick Start

1. Install the extension
2. Ctrl+Shift+P → "Redmyne: Set API Key"
3. Enter your Redmine URL + API key

Your issues appear in the sidebar. Start logging time.

Keyboard Shortcuts

(Mac: Cmd instead of Ctrl.) Most other actions live on right-click in each view.

Features

Issues

Your assigned issues, grouped by project — Tree (hierarchy) or List (flat).

• Filters: My Open (default), All Open, My Closed, My Issues, All Issues; by Task Type (a custom field); show / hide empty projects
• Sort: by #ID, Subject, or Assignee
• Health colors: 🔴 overbooked · 🟡 at risk · 🟢 on track (hours left vs. due date)
• Right-click: Quick Update (status + assignee + comment in one step), Log Time, Set % Done, Set Internal Estimate, Toggle Ad-Hoc Budget (then Contribute / Remove to route its hours to another issue), Create Sub-Issue, Create Version / Milestone, Show in Gantt, Add to Kanban, Open in Browser, Copy URL

Time Entries

Logged time grouped by Today, This Week, This Month.

• Filters: My Time / All Users; show / hide 0% days (zero-utilization days hidden by default)
• Sort: by #ID, Subject, Comment, or User
• Right-click / hover: Edit, Delete, Open in Browser, Show in Gantt (jump to the issue on the timeline); on a date → Add Entry
• Copy / paste single entries, whole days, or weeks across dates
• Required + optional custom fields are prompted when logging time

Time Sheet

Spreadsheet-style week editing in a webview (table icon in the Time Entries header).

• Cascading Client → Project → Task → Activity dropdowns
• Daily hours with dirty tracking, draft mode, undo / redo
• Sortable columns, searchable issue picker, copy / paste / duplicate rows, custom fields

Gantt Chart

Interactive timeline for workload visualization.

• Edit: drag bar edges (start / due), drag the body (move both), right-click → Update dialog; full undo / redo
• Select: click rows (Ctrl / Shift / Ctrl+A for multi); click a bar to pin its highlight + dependency arrows; drag a selection to bulk-move
• Navigate: arrow keys, Home / End, Enter to act, minimap to jump
• Colors (theme-aware): bar fill = schedule health (done / on-track / at-risk / overbooked), border = state (overdue / projected-late / ad-hoc / external), ghost bar = projected finish past the due date. Hover any bar for the full breakdown.
• View: zoom Day (default) / Week / Month / Quarter / Year; lookback selector (2 Weeks → 10 Years, default 6 Months) bounds how far back the axis reaches — the right edge follows your furthest scheduled task; filters for task type and empty projects, plus toggles for intensity, critical path, capacity ribbon, late issues, and highlight-my-issues
• Dependencies: drag from a bar's circle to create a relation; right-click an arrow to remove (blocks, precedes, follows, relates, duplicates, copied)
• Tooltips: progress, flexibility, assignee, and an opt-in calculated priority score (due-date urgency + downstream dependencies)

Kanban Board

Stage tasks before timing them.

• Standalone tasks or linked to Redmine issues; High / Medium / Low priority
• Todo → In Progress → Done, grouped by client / project; add to today's plan when ready

Timer (Pomodoro)

Structured work sessions with auto-logging (Ctrl+Y Ctrl+T).

• Assign issues / activities to each unit; work 45 / break 15; time auto-logged when a unit completes
• Status-bar countdown + progress, sound notification, persists across restarts, skip-break option

Draft Mode

Queue write operations locally before sending to Redmine.

• Toggle via the command palette or status bar
• Review panel to inspect, apply, or discard pending drafts (per-draft or bulk)
• Server-identity validation; persists across restarts

Auto-tracking helpers

• Auto-update % Done — opt-in per issue; advances %Done from spent / estimated as you log (caps at 99%)
• Ad-hoc budget pools — tag an issue as a pool, then route its logged hours to other issues

Status Bar

• Timer: countdown, issue, progress (e.g. 32:15 [#1234](https://github.com/vrognas/vrognas-redmyne/issues/1234) [Dev] (3/6))
• Workload (opt-in): 25h left, +8h buffer

Requirements

• VS Code 1.109+ or Positron 2026.04+
• Redmine with the REST API enabled (/settings → API tab)
• API key from My Account → API access key

Security

• API keys stored in the encrypted system keychain (Windows Credential Manager / macOS Keychain / Linux libsecret) and never synced
• HTTPS required — HTTP connections are rejected
• Sensitive data redacted in API logs

npm install        # deps + git hooks
npm run compile    # build
npm test           # tests (run via bash on Windows)
npm run ci         # lint + typecheck + test
