There are also time tracking programs for this.
The way to do this inside xmonad is to send a ClientMessage event which is
handled in the handleEventHook. You could send the event from a cron job,
or fork a thread which opens its own server connection (X11 only pretends
to be thread safe) and sends it after a delay.

Hi!
I'm not an expert, but it seems that forking a thread inside XMonad itself wouldn't work - there is no function that will allow you to convert X () back to IO (), thus you can't use the usual forkIO calls.
You can probably implement something via X events and server-mode hooks: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib-0.16/docs/XMonad-Hooks-Se...
But may I suggest using a much simpler approach and skipping XMonad entirely? You can use for example `yad` or `zenity` to display a graphical input box directly from a script. For example something like the following:
$ yad --text="Current activity:" --entry >> activity-log.txt
Best regards, Platon Pronko

Hello In order to help with my personal productivity. I want to register what I'm doing every 15 minutes or so.
And using Xmonad.Prompt.AddFile is very easy. Currently I launch it with a key combination and I can start writing what I'm doing in this moment.
However, no I would like to automatically launch AddFile every 15 minutes... Ideally from cron (which I know) or maybe xmonad has a way to do it itself?
