watson command [options] [args]

watson is a command-line time tracking tool that records work sessions on named projects with optional tags for categorization. Starting a timer associates the current time with a project and tags, and stopping it saves a completed time frame with the calculated duration.
The log command displays tracked entries chronologically, with filters for viewing today's work, the current week, or a specific date range. Reports aggregate time by project, showing total hours spent on each project and its tags over a given period.
Past entries can be added retroactively, existing entries can be edited to correct mistakes, and the cancel command discards the currently running timer without saving it.
