What you want is to create a small application stub that implements  
the listTimeObjects and listTimeObjectCategories methods. Take Nag or  
Whups as examples for such applications, if you run the stable versions.

If you are running Kronolith from Git, it's even easier. There is a  
timeobjects pseudo-application in Git where you can drop very simple  
classes providing event information. All the API logic is already  
implemented by the timobjects module.
