  1. CSV-Export from Command Line

    I'd like to kick off the CSV-Export from the command line. Basically, what i'm looking for is something that i can automate somewhat like this:

    ManicTime.exe --export="Tags" > mttags.csv
    ManicTime.exe --export="Applications" > mt    apps.csv

    and so on. It does not need to be exactly like that, but if I could
    put this in a batch file, it would remove an error source from my
    current workflow.

    If the export could be limited to a certain date-range (like the existing GUI export), export date-format (unix vs. windows time format) and export delimiter (commas vs. tabs) that would be the icing…

  2. Export timelines (Auto-Tags) to CSV / Excel

    In addition to the existing export functions i'd like to export the auto-tag timeline to csv.

    Another nice feature would be an export of all timelines summarized.

  4. More shortcuts please...

    It would be nice to be able to use more shortcuts. For example: Create Autotag rule, Copy Autotags to tag timeline etc. The ideal solution would be to have the opportunity to assign shortcut to every function.

  5. tag shortcuts should work also inside tag window

    It would be nice if configured tag shortcuts would also work in an opened tag windows (so shortcut could be used to tag a time in the automatic popup after returning from a break)

  6. Sound when an event occurs

    One feature, which has been constantly neglected so far is -- sound --. The idea is to connect a sound with a certain event, usually when a time interval is over.

    To emphasize, that I'm not alone in this wish, I'm summarizing the threads which has also expressed this issue:

    • (37 Votes) Pomodoro settings : - sound notification when the break is over
    • (3 Votes) Tag Reminder as New Window : - a window pop up with sound.
    • (6 Votes) Pomodoro Timer steals focus: use system tray pop up as an option : a sound could be played to emphasize…

  8. Pomodoro technique

    It would be great if ManicTime implemented a way of working easily with the Pomodoro Technique[1]. It could be a very simple implementation:

    • A pomodoro checkbox in the stopwatch
    • A way of setting intervals aka "pomodoros" (e.g., the classic 25 minutes work + 5 minutes break)
    • A way of setting how many intervals before prompting for a longer break
    • When an a break or interval is reached, the tags dialog pops up asking you to tag your time (e.g., whether you've just been working, or breaking)

    ManicTime already does so much of what's required for a really rich Pomodoro experience…

  10. Draggable Timeline (middle/right mouse drag)

    I find it slightly cumbersome to navigate the timelines within a day.
    I know there are currently two ways to do this:
    1. Dragging the window in the fixed line below the timelines
    2. Crtl+Mousewheel

    Both are not perfect for me - dragging the timelines (not the orange bar) button would be great.
    This could either be triggered by a middle or a right mouse drag, or with SPACE+Left mouse drag (I think Photoshop uses this combination) - but I like the first two better, because the require less action.

  11. screenshots from other computers

    I can add different timelines from different computers of mine, using the same login on a ManicTime server.
    It would be great if it could download the screenshots from the ManicTime server so I can't have to open up the web interface to see screenshots (which I can't even view full screen of.

  12. Horizontal Scroll Wheel Support on Timeline

    The horizontal scroll wheel on my mouse does nothing by the looks of it. It would be preferable to have this move the timeline window forward and backwards through the day

  13. Screenshot plugin enhancements

    F12-Screenshots need to be bigger, full screen view would be great. Show all screenshots filtered by application would be great. Play back screenshot timeline with left/right arrow keys would be great.

  15. combine timelines from more than one computer for single user

    I use a desktop in the office and a laptop when I'm not. I'd like to have the desktop automatically add the laptop timelines, or at least the tags.

  19. conditional autotags

    If would be incredibly helpful if the autotags could use conditional logic/rules. Some examples are:

    I would like to append the autotag 'OvertimeRate' to anything in work tags that are matched between 7pm and 7am so I can bill at different rates.

    I would like an autotag only be applied if Tag matching a specific word is not present. This way I will no longer have to spend time checking my timesheet for double billing.

    Thank you for the great product.

    We should talk about each problem separately, but for tags, do this:

    Click on tag timeline to select it. In filter below type:

    start<7am or start>7pm


    This will include all tags for those times. On right side of Filter box, click on down arrow, choose Add to autotag. Create autotag 'OvertimeRate', then in Autotag editor make it into Append tag.

  20. Off the record back on after set time

    I often forget to turn recording back on. This feature would make it come back on after a selectable number of minutes. Kind of like Rescuetime comes back on after 15 minutes
