BurrowTime Can Now Export to Clockify

I added Clockify sync to BurrowTime today. I can keep tracking time in the terminal, with my history in local files, and export completed entries when they need to land in Clockify.

The optional connector lets me map local projects to Clockify projects, with client names shown so similar projects are easier to tell apart. Before uploading, I can review and edit descriptions, destinations, durations, and billable settings, or skip entries from the batch.

Rounding happens on export. With rounding up to 15 minutes enabled, a 16-minute entry becomes 30 minutes in Clockify while the local record stays at 16. Ticket tags become clean descriptions: +PORTAL-42 exports as PORTAL-42.

Once the connector is installed and the Clockify credentials are configured, I can preview the day's entries and then run the export:

burrowtime clockify sync --today --dry-run
burrowtime clockify sync --today

Nothing uploads in the background. Local receipts remember successful exports so another run skips them. This first version exports completed entries; it does not pull changes back from Clockify or update entries already uploaded.

Clockify support is on main for now and is not yet in a tagged release. The setup guide covers installing both binaries, credentials, and project mapping. There is also a BurrowTime website with an overview and demos.
