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?

MCP: Expose AutoTag timeline in ManicTime Beta MCP Server
I’m using the latest ManicTime beta with MCP Server and would like MCP access to the AutoTag timeline.
Right now, AutoTag results are not available (or not consistently queryable) through MCP like other timelines, which limits automation workflows for tagging validation, reporting, and reconciliation.
What I’m asking for
- Include AutoTag timeline in MCP timeline discovery.
- Allow querying AutoTag activity in the same date-range/filter model as other timelines.
- Support environment filtering and cross-environment aggregation when applicable.
- Preserve AutoTag-relevant metadata (for example tag combination, notes, and rule/source fields if available).
- Keep behavior consistent with existing MCP timeline endpoints.
Why this matters
- AutoTag…

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…

Open more instances of ManicTime simultaneously
It would be very helpful if I would be able to open ManicTime Desktop for a second time.
Now when I'm working on an old day I have to quit doing that to Tag something of today.
Or when I'm improving and testing AutoTags I can't look up what I need, because I'm in editing mode.1 vote -
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 -
Away window on linux
hi, I understand that a full linux version would be a lot of work, and that the tracking works with the client application and an interface can be reached with the server, but i'm missing a key feature: unlike on windows, it doesn't ask me to tag away time upon my return. Is it perhaps possible to implement an away time tagging window for linux?
Thank you!

Clear filter shortcut
Application shortcuts - General - Add a shortcut function for "Clear filter".
It doesn't have to assigned to a key by default, although I would like to use the ESC key.To reach for the mouse to hit the X button on the filter line or ctrl-F, shift-END, DEL is the only options right now.

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.

execute python or bat files with event tags or rules
It would be great for example to create an event on a specific time or when the computer starts in could open a window to ask to execute either a python script or a bat file..
these files could do whatever the user wants for example report the day work to some external service like workday or others.. If manic time would have some ability to even pass on data to a script this would be super helpful. In times of AI people are quite able to create such scripts without much knowledge so this would be useful to users.…

Set default for "Go off the record" context menu on tray icon
On Windows, the context menu of ManicTime's tray icon has "Go off the record" with a sub-menu for the desired duration. But if the user clicks on "Go off the record" directly, the default is "Until you turn on".
The best would be to not do anything and force users to make a selection in the sub-menu, but now that it's been like that for a while, the best alternative would be the option to set which timeframe is used.
The number of times I've lost a long period of tracking because of this...

Duration in upper right based on tags, not outlook or other timeline
In the upper right, the day start and end are based on the lowest and highest values based on any of the timelines. At times, there are items in my outlook calendar timeline which aren't dictating my actual day working (such as a reminder, or an out of town trip, or PTO). It would be nice to choose what timeline dictates this feedback information. For instance, I would want it to represent my Tags as my outlook calendar might not have accurate working time.

Allow Snapping and Screenshot Display Across All Timelines
I would like to use screenshots together with the snap to interval feature, but this currently doesn’t work.
When dragging a selection on the Time timeline (to use snapping), no screenshots are displayed.
When using any other timeline, screenshots appear correctly, but snapping cannot be used. This makes it impossible to work with screenshots and snap to tagging at the same time.A possible solution would be to introduce rounding or snapping for tags themselves. This would allow users to select, edit or create tags on any timeline, and have tag boundaries snap to a defined interval (e.g., 5 minutes),…

Integration with Paymo
I use ManicTime to automatically track my computer activity and tag time spent on projects. The automatic screenshots allow me to reconstruct and document my work precisely, even when I am fully focused on a task, in a state of flow, and not tracking tasks manually in the moment.
Our company uses Paymo to manage projects, tasks, and billing, so all my work hours must be reported as time entries in Paymo.
I would like to request an integration that enables a smooth two-way workflow between ManicTime and Paymo, specifically:
Read Paymo projects and tasks (assigned to me or unassigned/team…

copy from auto-tag to tags only for selected entry
For auto-tags, i want to select one entry in the auto-tag timeline and copy only the selected tag to the tags timeline.
Currently i can only copy all tags (of one or multiple days) with some added logic (only untagged time, etc). On some days i only want to copy some auto-tags to the tag timeline and fill in the rest by hand. This would be easier, if i only need to select an auto-tag and either via context menu or hot-key copy the selected auto-tag to the tag timeline.

Microsoft ToDo, Outlook Calendar, Planner
It would be nice to have more and more integration with the Microsoft Office365 platform
- ToDo
- Outlook Calendar
- PlannerThey are more and more aggregating things todo in one platform that we can then use to organize and use manictime to track time spent on it.

Blank zero hours sums and totals in Time Sheet as an option in settings.
Blank zero hour sums and totals in the Time Sheet.
Add a check box in settings. "Blank zero hours in Time Sheet."It will speed up the manual transfer from the Time sheet to any non integrated time reporting application.

monitor
Choose the Monitor to record.
I would like to have to choose the Monitor which will be recorded screenshots. In my Setup i use 3 Monitors, but i just need 2 of them for working, and the 3 portable monitor is only for youtube video/music. I do not need any recorded screenshot of this monitor. So i want to choose only the big 2 monitors to record screenshots. This would also make the screenshot smaller and more handy for reproduce my work.3 votes -
Auto Tags searches to apply large number of tags
I have ManicTime v2025.2.02
USE CASE
I have various tasks that I know will always go into certain buckets and I want to add about 30-50 searches that I'll update over time. To make the example basic, imagine if I wanted to create auto tags like this. I've listed 5 examples, but as I said, there are really 30+ searches. For the most part, I'll want these searches to hit on any timeline, but for some searches I might only want to search one timeline (eg, only documents, only calendar, etc.)Tag 1: cats AND john AND microsoft.com
