  1. Exclude full screen applications from screenshots

    Right now we can include or exclude screenshots by window title. I don't want to capture screenshots when I am watching movies or playing games. Right now I have to put in a new exclude filter every time I install a new game.

    Would be better if there was a checkbox "Do not take screenshots of full-screen applications"

  2. Tagging by Folder (File Location)

    Would be great to Filter/Autotag based on the location of a file.
    For exampe:

    Every file which is opened and located in folder D:\Projects\P105K8

    can be filtered and tagged.

    You can already do all of this. You can write D:\Projects\P105K8 in filter in Documents timeline, then click on down arrow on the right side and Add to autotag. A normal Add to autotag also has an option to just use folder.

  3. More rounding options (5m, 10m) and hide seconds when rounding

    Would be nice to have more options in the "Round to" drop list (like 5m & 10m).

    When rounding is enabled, the seconds could be hidden from the generated report since they are always ':00'.

  4. Configurable time intervals in Timeline view

    Whilst it's currently possible to zoom in/out in the Day\Timeline view, you have to do this manually and it can be very granular so you can end up recording to the second.

    I would like to see an option to be able to configure the default view e.g. 5min, 15min interval etc.

    This would ease recording and categorising tags for organisations that have rules around minimum billable time, or minimum time recorded intervals e.g. 5 or 15mins particularly when auto-tagging may nto be appropriate

    NOTE: workaround for recording time as whole mins can be found in this request "Tagging snapping…

  5. Tag Reminder as New Window

    I don't ever really see the little bubble notifications in the corner of the screen reminding me about my current timer, or to tag untagged time.

    It would be nice if a new window could pop up, or a sound.

    I have two monitors, and I am rarely looking at that bottom corner.

  6. Exporting Tags + Applications in one file

    When I export and import Applications, it would be good to see an additional column containing the corresponding Tags I used on them so I can easily verify if my tags are correct. That's Applications+Tags in one file export/import.

  7. tags

    Need a customization list feature for tags based on 1st, 2nd, third and fourth levels. Eg. 1st level are general and move to specific tasks on lower levels. Also, when tagging, for these tags to be listed in order of level for ease of use.

  8. UnAutotagged Time Selector

    In the tag selection you can filter to select tagged/untagged time. However, I have an autotag timeline that merges certain autotags and the manual tags. I would like to fill in the gaps with "unautoagged" time by just dragging and selecting these gaps.

  9. Auto-tag based on other tags

    For example I google ManicTime and click on the ManicTime website. I can tag the latter activity based on its URL, but how do I tag the former as "ManicTime, ~googling"? Sometime the keyword does not go into the title, so I can't use it to autotag. Both the document and application timelines are the same, so I can't use append tag. The absorb tag just has the same color of the activities in between in the timeline, not a tag that I actually want.

    This is also useful when you want an autotag to be prioritized, that is no…

    I don't quite understand the solution. Absorb was added just for this use case, but what you could do instead is make a normal autotag for google, with query part as part of autotag. 

    Select document timeline, in filter below type:

    #"https:\/\/www\.google\.com\/search\?q=([^&]*)"

    then click down arrow on the right of filter text box, Add to autotag and for title type:

    {{1}}, googling

    Then you will get autotags like manictime, googling....

  10. save statistics page for later

    currently, it is already possible to save the statistics graph as an image.

    i would like to be able to save the data i'm browsing as an internal manictime file, that i could open later and see the same results, being able to tweak them. essentially, then, loading this saved file would open up the statistics page with the filters and results loaded.

  11. Exclude window titles from Screenshots

    It would be great to be able to exclude window titles from screenshots in addition or instead of process name.

    This way I could still reference what kind of task I was doing on a work web site and not collect screenshots of my facebook slacking in the same browser.

  13. "Show only tagged activites" for autotags

    That would be nice. I'm a lazy developer, so I'd like to set tags for certain activities just once. If I can't see what I already (auto)tagged, I don;t know what I missed.

    So basically the "Show only tagged activites", but for autotags

  14. Track paths in dayview

    Filenames are listed; date and time is listed; but many filenames are generic, repeated, or simply not descriptive. Knowing where to find them will help to identify what project they relate to.

    This would be great, but sadly there is no silver bullet for this. There is no way we can get file path from open applications. All we can do is rely on APIs of the applications to get this information, but applications need to support this and we need to write this for each application separately.
    So currently it works for some apps, mostly office apps and few others which have this displayed in the window status bar.

  15. Add date range for AutoTag

    There exists cases where the same tag match has to be autotagged to tow different tags depending on the date.
    Let's take the example where I am developing the application A, which initially is intended to be developed for internal purpose, but that after 01/01/2017 some time as consequence of some commercial arrangements it has to be billed to the customer C. In this case, the autotag for the application A should map to tag "Internal Development" until 01/01/2017, and to the tag "Customer C" after 01/01/2017.

    Please let me know whether this feature is already available or will be…

  16. Select and copy fields from timesheet

    Since I'm registering time with Oracle PSA I have to reenter the timesheet data manually in the fields of the Oracle PSA Web Application.
    It would help tremendously if it would be possible to select individual fields on the timesheet in MT and copy paste it into corresponding field of the PSA web Application.

  17. Update previous tags based on saved file name or folder name

    Please add the functionality to automatically tag email replies and the original message when we save a file in a specific Outlook folder. The tag name would be the same as the folder name.

    This same functionality could be added to automatically tag word documents based on the project folder in which they are saved.

    For instance... I will read an email in my inbox, then reply to that email. As soon as I reply to the email, I have software that automatically moves the original email and the reply to a specific folder in Outlook. I want Manic Time…

  18. Individual height scaling of timelines

    Instead of scaling all timelines together, it would be much more convenient to scale each timelines height individually.

  19. Add labels quicker

    It would be nice to add labels quicker. If the labels is in the right click context menu it works fine but if not you need 3-4 clicks.

    How about you build a quick search. If I select a time frame in the top and start tipping there could be a quick search / autocomplete. You would click one time, type the label name and press enter. Done!

    That little thing would make your tool 10 times better.

    Greetings
    Philipp
