I have a feature request ...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  1. Access Advanced Search from any view

    Advanced search would be useful when reviewing a Timesheet, but the keyboard shortcut CTRL+SHIFT+F only works when in Day View. While it is possible to navigate to Day View, open Advanced Search, then navigating back to Timesheet View, this is cumbersome.

  2. Add functionnal keyboard support

    So far the app is absolutely mouse-dependant. Those little tick boxes are nearly impossible to click with a touchscreen and there doesn't seem to be a way to toggle them with the keyboard. Hence the app is unconvenient to use without a mouse such as with a laptop or tablet. I would expect to be able to switch between the Timeline, the Details and the Summary panels using TAB, and to be able to toggle individual items in the Details and Summary using SPACEBAR

    Using Ctrl + Tab you will be able to navigate between the Day, Untagged time, Timesheet and Statistics tabs and with focus on different elements (accessed with Tab) you can do a lot with arrows. Since there aren't enough votes nothing additional will be implemented for now.

  3. Total should include timer

    Include the current task in the Timer as part of the Total in the bottom right. (And updating every minute would be fine. I don't need to see the seconds ticking off and using CPU).
    As a person keeping track of my time I would like to know if I've already worked the desired number of hours without reading the total at the bottom, and the time on the timer and doing the math myself.
    Perhaps there would be Completed: {duration} Timer: {duration} Total: {sum of Completed and Timer}

  4. Linux Client - Fully Local UI

    Currently, the Linux client lacks its own UI - it must be used with a separate server to act as its UI. The problem is, if you're already using a remote central server to coordinate multiple clients you can't run that server locally - and having to depend on a remote server as the only form of UI makes it impossible to work while offline (i.e. on flights, out in the field, etc). Furthermore, the only way to use screenshots is by syncing them - which will consume an immense amount of additional data, which may not be feasible if…

  6. Screenshot difference compression

    Manictime's screenshot feature is a life saver. But it also takes up a ton of space using a full separate image for each screenshot. 90% of the time, adjacent screenshots are nearly identical, except for some text on the screen. Huge storage efficiency could be gained by using difference calculation between screenshots.

    For example:
    1. Every 10 minutes, take a fresh screenshot. Store it as a png like normal.
    2. Every 15 seconds thereafter, take a new screenshot to memory
    3. Using a library like ImageMagick, calculate the subtraction from the most recent png screenshot and the new screenshot in…

  8. Scroll through screenshots

    As far as I can tell, you can only show screenshots either by hovering over the timeline or hovering over the left panel. I'd like to be able to highlight an item on the left panel and have the screenshot appear, and then, if you scroll down using arrow keys, the screenshot of the highlighted row shows.

  9. Compatibility through WineHQ

    Afaic, ManicTIme is focused in Windows machines, with a tracker available for the other platforms. So someone on these other platforms can use the service (even though a bit cumbersomely compared to windows) even without a full port that we would like.

    The hickup in this, is that if he wants to use the WIndows App (let's admit it is way more useful for individuals than the server web page) he has to launch a VM every time.

    Having said these, understanding that a full port to other platforms can be costly for the ManicTime Team, I would like to…

    we would love to make a linux client, but it would take a lot of time. 

    We are not experts on Linux, looking at WineHQ it looks like it could work, but based on our experience with .net/WPF on Windows... lets just say we have problems with it on Windows, I can only imagine how many problems would there be with WineHQ. 

    If anybody has experience with this and could help us let us know, but for us to really support this properly is too much work.

  11. Copying and merging DB of day time sheet

    With Covid-19 lockdowns, I have been working on my machine at home. Is there is simple way to extract the data base information for the daily sheets into a file that I can carry into my work, and merge with my main machine's data? Neither machine will be "on" unless the other is "off". I don't think that the "server" solution will help me. The KB articles suggest that the data is not combined when it is transferred. It suggests if transfer is used, the existing data will be over-written.

    What you could do is backup on one machine, sync via dropbox or similar and restore on the other. 

    But you would have to do this each time you move.

    And as mentioned, cloud or MT Server would also help.

  12. Shortcut to Toggle Mini Window

    It would be very helpful to be able to toggle the mini window with a shortcut (and also possibly resize the mini window so it is slightly larger - it can get lost because it is so small).

  15. Removal of Jira support on free version

    I understand that you decide which features are supported in the free version, but I do not think it is fair to remove a feature that was working fine (integration with Jira) when I do a software update, without any warning.
    What is the last version that supports this feature on how can I downgrade ?

  16. Personal Daily Summary Notes Tag

    Adding the functionality to append a tag (that is not counted towards your daily hours) for personal note taking inside the manic time app where you can write your summary of the things you have done/doing for the day while you tag your times in the company.

    These daily notes can later be aggregrated into a weekly summary which can be stored, extracted, exported to another app such as Teamwork, MS Word, Notes etc.

  18. Go off the record until configured time

    I work different shift patterns and use the computer for personal as well as business. I'd like the ability to go off record until a pre-configured time, i.e. until I start work the following day. My PC usage often goes past midnight, so go off record until tomorrow doesn't work. I'd like the ability to set a default go on record time within configuration, then within the system tray icon "Go of record until" menu have a 5th option called "Until xx:xx" where xx:xx is the pre-configured time.

    I'd also like a 6th menu option called something like "Until ??:??".…

  20. Differentiate Between Chrome and Canary Chrome

    I do most of all my internet browsing in normal Chrome, but I use Canary for developing (https://www.google.com/chrome/canary/). It would be useful to see 2 applications: Chrome and Chrome Canary. This way I can automatically tag based on application.
