Frequently Asked Questions

You can fully remove ShellTime from your machine by running the built-in uninstall commands and then deleting the binary and config directory.

1. Remove the shell hooks:

   shelltime hooks uninstall

2. Remove the daemon service:

   shelltime daemon uninstall

3. If you set up AI coding integrations, remove them too:

   shelltime cc uninstall
   shelltime codex uninstall

4. Delete the local data and config directory:

   rm -rf ~/.shelltime

5. Finally, remove the shelltime binary from your PATH (e.g. /usr/local/bin/shelltime or wherever your package manager installed it).

If your dashboard looks empty, the most common cause is that the shell hooks or daemon were not set up correctly. Make sure the integration is correctly installed for your shell (zsh, bash, or fish).

You can verify the daemon is running and synchronizing properly with:

shelltime daemon status

If the daemon is not running, reinstall it with shelltime daemon install and confirm you have authenticated using shelltime auth.
