This section covers command-line tools and integrations that enable deeper, programmatic access to Zipwire's functionality.

Zipwire CLI (zw)

The Zipwire command-line interface is designed for technical contractors and developers who want to manage their time tracking, timesheets, and invoicing directly from the terminal.

Think of it like Git for work – instead of committing code changes, you're committing your time entries to your private journal, which automatically generates timesheets, handles approvals, and creates invoices.

Why Use the CLI?

  • Automation: Script your entire contractor workflow (track time → create timesheet → send for approval)

  • Integration: Use it in CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs, or with coding agents

  • Flexibility: Track time from anywhere, integrate with your existing tools

  • Machine-readable: Structured output formats (JSON-style) for programmatic access

  • Agent-friendly: Perfect for LLMs and coding agents to automate your workflow
