Compact design choice
The new design of ManicTime 2024.3 may look modern, but it wastes a lot of space with margins and padding that make the timeline and lists look crammed while lots of space is wasted with non functional elements.
It really needs a compact option where white margins and padding are reduced to a minimum like before. Especially for Laptop displays that have small size, the new design is a step backwards.3 votes -
The Untagged Time tab should have a filter to display based on applications, not just computer use
I'd like an option to make Untagged Time display based on applications instead of computer usage. I have been meticulously tagging all my application use for years but I don't tag Active/Away time, so my Untagged Time tab is completely useless in its current state. I'd love this feature!

Improved Virtual Desktop Tracking
I organize my client projects into virtual desktops on Windows 11, with each desktop dedicated to a specific project.
It would be very helpful if the app could better support tracking these virtual desktops. Currently, it’s possible to see which desktop is used, but it’s subtle and not easy to identify. Hovering over the activity status in the timeline shows the active desktop, but this is cumbersome.
Could you add a feature to make the active virtual desktop more visible, perhaps with a color-coded bar or indicator? This would greatly improve usability for tracking project times.
Thanks for considering this…

disable or reposition tooltips
When mousing through a list, tooltips showing URLs and tags appear below the pointer and overlay information that I need to see. I have my screenshots docked in the lower right panel. There are instructions online that refer to a "toggle Tooltip Option" that doesn't exist (on my system) in the Settings>General tab. Could it please be added or brought back?

Make the icons solid rather than outlines
Put the icons back so that that on the stopwatch the Stop and Play buttons have solid symbols rather than outlines. They're too small and fuzzy for just an outline. Now I have to stop and really look. The way they were before this release I didn't even think about it. I know which to press. If you still want to have the little circles around them, that's fine. But at least make Play and Stop solid rather than just outlines.

Linux Client Wayland Support / Jetbrains plugin support
I recently upgraded to Fedora 40 which has completely removed X11 support. I can't stand the GNOME desktop so I choose to use KDE Plasma. As stated in the Linux client, due to Wayland security enhancements it's not possible to read the windows which is required for Manictime tracking.
The primary tools that I need to track are Jetbrains products (PHPStorm, PyCharm, CLion, IntelliJ, etc.). I know there is a Manictime plugin for Jetbrains products, but it too doesn't seem to work on Wayland.
It would be nice if the Jetbrains plugin could communicate with the Linux Manictime client for…

Allow regex to match on more than just first line in title
Sometimes, the key information that might be useful to extract via a regex is in the description rather than in the title.
Sometimes, the key information that might be useful to extract via a regex is in the description rather than in the title.
For example in the built-in Computer usage timeline, one can access via Regex whether the computer was active or away this is available via the builtin {{title}} tag.
However that exact same information is generally available via the {{group}} tag.
If one uses say the multi-desktop feature of windows https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/multiple-desktops-in-windows-36f52e38-5b4a-557b-2ff9-e1a60c976434

create folder automatically in document timeline (when the DocumentType is set to Task or something like that in tracker plugin)
i create a tracker plugin and i set the DocumentType to Task.
but ManicTime would not create a Task folder, or put the file into a custom-created Task folder, it just put the file outside any folder.3 votes -
let user combine or merge the document in Document Timeline
when file name is changed manictime tracker would treat them as different docs, which is not tracking friendly in some situation (when i still want to treat them as one file). so it would be better if we can combine or merge document maunually, by right click or something like that

when i click a button, manictime let me select a tracker plugin and an Application. then search the recorded Application infos, apply the string split rules to and get Document info. finally fill them into previous Document timeline3 votes -
Option for Day Timeline to flow vertically

integrate with gpt-4o
I've just tested a CSV export of part of my day in chat gpt and it correctly identified which parts of my day were productive, what software I used and the total time I spent in work. I then asked it to include relevant support tasks, like explorer operations, and it did that too. I found this far quicker than assigning tags or autotags.
I'm not sure what an integration would look like, but a dump to clipboard of csv data of the current day might be a start. The possibilities are amazing, especially if you throw screenshots into the…

A plugin to show ARC browser urls!
I've been using ManicTime for many years; it's a great software. Recently, I switched my browser to Arc and noticed that ManicTime doesn't show the URLs I visit in Arc. A plugin or a native feature for that would be amazing.

I would like to edit locations from he mobile app within the desktop app and also view the locations I visited on a map. In general: It would be nice to manage the locations on my desktop or within server website as I can do it in the mobile app. Very useful to check where I was and how long.

Extend/Shrink start/end of a selected tag using keyboard shortcut
Extend/Shring start/end of a selected tag using keyboard shortcuts.
When selecting a tag on timeline, If I need to extend/shrink its start/end to a specific point in time, the normal way to do this is to mouse drag the start/end edge to the desired point on the timeline.It would be more easier and efficient if there exist the following keyboard shortcuts:
- keyboard shortcut to move (extend/shrink) the selected tag's start edge to the current mouse's position on the timeline and another one for the end edge.
- keyboard shortcut to extend the selected tag's start edge to the…3 votes -

Custom title: Easier creation / sharing and application to past data (of limited range, e.g. past 7 days)
It would be great if the CustomTitle.txt feature would get a community source so that not every user has to re-invent the wheel and has to write a regex for every application.
Similar to the plugin management, a searchable online repository that can be used to add lines to CustomTitle.txt would be great, with an online suggestion feature to add new entries.
Please also keep the plaintext file and openness of this feature even with this addition.Similarly, it would be great to apply new CustomTitle.txt document/application regex rules to the recorded data of the past 7 days.

Export video timelapse
I'd like to be able to show my clients exactly why I'm billing them for 4 (or 44) hours work. Even if the timelpase option was only available per day this would be great. FFMPEG has done the heavy lifting. All you need is to put the jpegs into an array and send them off to FFMPEG. You'd need to specify an output folder in manic time options and bobs your uncle. I have done this manually but its a faff:
Select only jpegs (not thumbnails). Rename as a sequence, send to video converter.6 votes
