This is an interesting concept. I'd think it would need some kind of system tray icon to be aware if it stops running, otherwise, it might provide a false sense of security and you could lose work because you thought you were safe but Dura actually crashed three days ago. It also probably needs some sort of automatic syncing to a remote repo, so it isn't affected by spilling your coffee on your laptop.

If there was a machine-parseable `dura status` command, a Hammerspoon menu bar icon could poll that every N seconds and make a status icon!

    Yes! I'm the author and this is the next feature I was planning on adding, I was even planning on naming it `dura status`. First I need to get better logging (to a JSON file), and then expose it via `dura status`. It occurs to me that having all that data could tell me a lot about how I work, so it could unlock some very interesting usages of dura.

    Would you mind creating a Github issue? The project could benefit from more discussion around this.
