HumbleBee

Install HumbleBee

Install the CLI for terminal workflows or download the standalone GUI for a visual local-first time tracker.

HumbleBee ships in two forms:

  • the CLI, named humblebee,
  • the standalone desktop GUI, released as separate GUI downloads.

CLI on macOS or Linux with Homebrew

brew tap grobmeier/tap
brew install humblebee

CLI on Windows with Scoop

scoop bucket add grobmeier https://github.com/grobmeier/scoop-bucket
scoop install humblebee

GUI downloads

Download the GUI from the GitHub release assets:

github.com/grobmeier/humblebee/releases

Look for assets named like:

  • HumbleBee_GUI_v0.2.1_darwin_arm64.zip
  • HumbleBee_GUI_v0.2.1_linux_amd64.tar.gz
  • HumbleBee_GUI_v0.2.1_windows_amd64.zip

The GUI is standalone. It does not require the CLI to be installed, although CLI users can start an installed GUI with:

humblebee gui

Build from source

git clone https://github.com/grobmeier/humblebee
cd humblebee
go mod tidy
go build -o bin/humblebee ./cmd/humblebee

Check the installation

humblebee help
humblebee doctor

The default database path is ~/.humblebee/humblebee.db. You can choose a separate test workspace with HUMBLEBEE_HOME.
