MCP: Access and aggregate timelines from all my workstations via on-prem ManicTime Server
I’m using the latest beta with MCP Server and I’d like support for querying timelines from my on-prem ManicTime Server across all environments linked to my same user account.
I often work across multiple machines (local workstation + remote desktop via RDP). Today, my local timeline mostly shows Remote Desktop Connection, while the detailed activity (Applications, Documents, Websites, etc.) is captured on the remote workstation timeline. This splits my work context across devices and makes MCP-based analysis incomplete unless I manually reconcile timelines.
I’d like MCP to support cross-workstation timeline access and aggregation for a single user identity, sourced from…

milage from ios to timeline
it would be great if the trimline view of an ios manic time client could show the miles traveled - currently I have to open manic time on the Ios device to get this info - would be seamless if i could get it from the main manic time client while i'm tagging time.

Exclude/Include screenshots for specified window titles
At the moment, you can exclude/include certain processes to grab screenshots (using the "Do not track all processes" option). However, more and more applications are web-based and appear in the the process list as msedge. This means that it's not possible to include/exclude these apps for the screenshot generator.
To support this, it would be great if "Do not track all processes" allowed the ability to specify window titles (with wildcards) as well as process names so that we can include/exclude these apps.

Time Zone-Aware Working Time and New Team Management Permissions
Dear ManicTime Team,
We are using ManicTime Server 2026.x to manage a distributed software development team working across multiple countries and time zones. We would like to request the following enhancements.1. Calculate Daily Working Time Based on Each User's Time Zone
Currently, the Daily Status report does not correctly represent the working day for users in different time zones.
We would like ManicTime to calculate each user's daily working time based on their assigned time zone, rather than the server's time zone.
For example:
* Developer A: UTC+8
* Developer B: UTC+1
* Developer C: UTC-5
Each developer's…1 vote -
Please again allow pasting of date string into date box, instead of forcing mouse-use to select a past month's date.
Please again allow pasting of date string into date box, instead of forcing mouse-use to select a past month's date.
I used to just paste a past day of the month (for ANY past date, even months or years back to jump to the date. Now I'm forced to page continuously back to find a past date in a past month, which can be many months or even YEARS back.

iOS: Add call timeline and app usage / Screen Time timeline tracking
ManicTime on my Android used to provide very useful phone activity timelines such as app usage and phone calls. On iPhone, the current ManicTime app appears to support only location tracking, manual tags, and stopwatch entries.
Please consider adding automatic iOS activity timelines, especially:
- App usage timeline from iOS Screen Time / Device Activity data
- Phone call timeline or call-duration import where iOS allows it
- Syncing this mobile activity into ManicTime Server / Desktop like other timelines
Use case: when I work away from my computer, many work activities happen on iPhone — calls, messaging apps, browser research, and other…

MCP: screenshot access (location-only)
The local MCP server exposes timelines, activities, and tag
writes but no way to reach captured screenshots. This blocks
on-device AI pipelines that would enrich time tracking with
vision/OCR — auto-tag suggestions from on-screen content,
searchable visual history, session recaps.Proposal — two tools, paths only, reusing the existing query
surface:listscreenshots(fromTime, toTime, filter?)
Returns [{ id, timestamp, absolutePath, width, height,
sizeBytes, linkedActivityIds }]. Filter reuses the OData
grammar from getcombined_activities so queries like
"screenshots while Tag contains 'CW-10269'" work without
new syntax.getscreenshotpath(id)
Returns the absolute path for a single screenshot.
Convenience wrapper for follow-up…

MCP: running-timer primitives
save_tag_activitiesrequires a closed interval. Agent workflows
that need to "start working on X now, stop later — possibly from a
different session or device" have no place to hold the in-flight
state. Workarounds (conversation-history search, sidecar state
stores, 1-second placeholder tags) are all brittle and duplicate
logic ManicTime should own.Proposed minimal addition to the MCP surface — no change to the
core tag data model, server-side state only:- startactivetag(tagCombination, notes?, startTime?) Record a running timer. startTime defaults to now.
- getactivetag() Return { tagCombination, notes, startTime } or null.
- stopactivetag(endTime?, tagMode?) -> TagActivity…

Option to expand toolbar buttons
Please provide an option to expand toolbar buttons for Select only untagged/Show only untagged/Select All and Copy Autotags. They used to be separate buttons but an update combined them into a dropdown menu. This is tedious to do repeatedly, and also because the button icons are so similar, it requires reading the text to confirm which button to select.
I assume the combination was done to support lower resolution monitors, but on my 1920 pixel monitor, I have as much white space as buttons.

Clip Studio Paint File Reading
Right now, ManicTime does not read the file names of things open in Clip Studio Paint...I know that's oddly specific, but it is one of the main graphics programs I use. I tried to set up auto tagging including keywords from file names to automate my time tracking, but about half the data for all my projects still has to be tagged manually anyway because it doesn't "see" them. I'm not exactly sure how Clip Studio is different that it doesn't recognize them, but I would like it to!
Notice that in the screenshot, the time for clip studio shows…

MCP: expose the auto-tagged timeline
I can use the MCP for application info and manual tags, but the auto-tagged data would give me useful data to work with when there is no manual tag applied.

Support for Planview Project Advantage (formerly Sciforma)
My company migrated from Jira Tempo to Project Advantage (formerly Sciforma) by Planview for timesheet management. https://www.planview.com/products-solutions/products/planview-projectadvantage/
I would appreciate a plugin offering functionality similar to the Jira one: retrieving project and assignment tags, along with the ability to export timesheets to Project Advantage.
Planview does provide a REST API, but the documentation appears to be accessible only to partners : https://success.sciforma.com/en/user/login

Add a "Select All" checkbox in Search feature on ManicTime Cloud
I use ManicTime Cloud website to bulk tag time entries. I use Search, type in my keyword, and then either click "Tag All" or "Tag Selected."
It would be helpful if there was a checkbox for "Select All." If my Search returns 150 results, sometimes "Tag All" works fine. But what if there are 20 to 30 out of the 150 results that I do NOT want tagged? Then I have to manually select the ones I want tagged by clicking the boxes 120 times. But if I could click a box at the top for "Select All," and then…

Integrate the used virtual desktop into the Excel export based on usage status.
I organize my todo´s using virtual desktops in Windows 11. Since sureface changes seem to take forever to take effect, it would be very helpful if the currently used virtual desktop could be added to the Excel export. As this information is already available in the interface, this should be relatively quick to implement.

Mouse-click and keyboard usage heatmap
For mouse usage: Log every click position on the screen. Generate a daily, monthly, and yearly heatmap that visually represents click density. Use a gradient color scheme — warm colors for high-frequency click zones, and cool colors for low-frequency zones.
For keyboard usage: Similarly, track every key press. Analyze which keys are hit most often, and provide per-application breakdowns. This would allow users to see, for example, which shortcuts or letters dominate their typing in a browser, code editor, or game.
The goal is to help users understand their own interaction patterns, optimize workflows, and identify repetitive strain risks.

Usage Details Timesheet Report - Other Timelines (Outlook Calendar, etc.)
The usage details timesheet report is incredibly powerful for feeding into a GPT (enterprise restrictions don't allow me to use the MCP yet), alongside a standard tag-based timesheet. The GPT is then able to scrub and augment the standard timesheet based on the more detailed usage details report.
Can the usage details report also include the other timelines, most specifically, my Outlook Calendar timeline?

option to mark day as fully tagged
i would like to be able to mark a day as fully tagged - using a button a checkbox in day pane.
This marks that all activities that should have been tagged by user has already been tagged, even if there are untagged time ranges.in untagged time pane, you can visually mark days that have been marked as fully tagged by user.

Export/import of settings
There should be a more user friendly way to export certain settings for quick setup on multiple devices.
At the moment there's no way at all to export settings of the client.
There's no way to export everything in one step either (tags, auto tags, timelines).
Best would be to combine it in the "Import and Export" command/popup and have the possibility there to export either separate things or all in one zip archive.
Same with import.1 vote -
Include miles traveled in mobile version
I do a lot of business travel, and it would help me immensely if the mobile app would send miles traveled (as it is already displayed) to the server so I can export this for my billing.
