Option to change time format to 24hr
I prefer to use time in 24hr format e.g. 15:30 instead of 3:30 pm.
If there could be an option to set this I would be very appreciative.3 votesIf there are more votes for this we might add this, but currently it takes system settings. So if in windows you use 24h format, ManicTime will also use it.

Better regex help
Add help text, a GUI, or similar to make regular expressions more discoverable and more easily used by users who are not advanced.
4 votesRegex are quite complex and to make a UI of this would be quite a task. I think there are a lot of good resources online for regex help.

command line to exit the program
A command line option to exit the program would be helpful; that way I can automate backups even more.
1 voteExiting/stopping a service is already natively supported on all operating systems that ManicTime is available on therefore this feature is unnecessary.

Possibility for copy the notice
I have to transfer it to another Programm. I would like to copy all notices simple. Sometimes you habe 3 entrys with different notices. At the moment you have to copy I from every entry :-(
1 voteWhat you can do is select multiple lines with CTRL or SHIFT select.
Then Copy(Ctrl-C), then paste to excel and Notes will be in its own column. Then you can just select that column and paste somewhere else.

"treat sound as Active" exept some program
There is missing a very important thing in this option "treat sound as Active", there must be "except this programs" option. For example, some music apps didn't need to "treat sound".

Space to select entries/folders, left-right to collapse-expand folders
When checking the "Day" view, on the left bottom pane you can use Space to select properly. It select/deselects the highlighted line.
BUT on the right bottom pane Space behaves oddly. To be precise it selects/deselects the checkbox the focus is on, not the line which is highlighted.
... and when you introduce folders also the only way to expand/collapse it apart from clicking on the +/- before it is to focus on the +/- icon and push "Space".
9 votesUpon testing, spacebar seems to work properly. Since there is a lack of votes, adding shortcuts for folders will have to take a backseat to other requested features.

Use the same tag list for Tags and AutoTags
I almost always need to use the same set of tags for both manually tagging and auto-tagging, as auto-tagging will take care of applications and specific app titles or app title filters, but if I switch to more general apps like notepad/chrome/windows explorer in between the specific app, I still want to tag those apps under the same tag (say it's a project name for example). However currently the two lists are completely independent, and I have to create the same tag in both tag lists :(
3 votesNot enough votes. I will just add that Pick from tags is available when created auto tag.

Quick select toolbar
I have used ManicTime for several years, and I think it's the best time tracker on the market. There is one thing, however, that continues to frustrate me.
The way the program works is perfect. However the amount of UI interaction required to do things is too high. For example:When allocating times:
- right click on the time block
- choose 'tag activity as'
- select activity (if on list, otherwise click 'add tag' and type text)this may have to be repeated for 10 or 12 activity blocks suring the day
Likewise, the timer feature is great in…
1 voteI think this is two tasks in one. One is better tagging, which I think is quite fast in ManicTime. You can just select and press a shortcut key to tag. Or just drag time and press down arrow and tag.
The other is for stopwatch with specific tag, which sounds interesting and we could work on it if there is support for the feature.

More Recent Tags options
Expand the Settings -> Tagging configuration to change the way Recent Tags is displayed:
- Recent Tags (Globally)
- Recent Tags (Individually)
- Recent Tags (Filtered for the Application and/or Document being tagged)
3 is huge. If the same Application and/or Document is always tagged the same - why do we still need to sift through the recent tags list each and every time.
1 voteNot enough votes. If an application and/or document is always tagged the same then the AutoTag feature is perfect for you. You can also transfer auto tags to tags so the process is fairly easy.

When exporting a timesheet offer to open the file in the associated app
When I export a timesheet to Excel my very next action is to open it in Excel which I suspect is a common next action for many people. Currently it's a manual process; run Excel, locate where I saved the file and open it. If I'm processing many exports this can be a significant percentage of the time spent.
I'm about to write an autohotkey script to automate this for myself however it would be nice if Manictime offered the option to directly open the exported file after saving.1 votenot enough votes, I will just mention that you could copy, open excel and paste, if that helps.

"Until next boot" time tracking off option
Often times my usage times are not in one big, continuous chunk, but involve multiple boots. What this means is sometimes, I want to turn off the tracking which I have to do using the "Go Off The Record" option, in which the most appropriate option is "Until you turn on".
When I do this, I MUST turn it back on manually after boot for it to start/continue tracking, which is easy to forget the next day/morning and indeed I have done so :( A simple option that auto tracks on boot could really help.
2 votesOff the record has a couple of option:
- until tomorrow
- for 1 hour
- for 15 minutes
- until I turn it on
What you are suggesting seems the same as if you just exit ManicTime. Next time you start it, it will start tracking.

Track the folders wgere the project files are located
It would be nice if it was possible to track the Folder were the files are located. Most businesess use a folder structure that represents all the projects that are running. This way you only need to track the folder P:\clients\project.. and all files with this string will be tracked for one project.
Thanks,
Jaap3 votesMT tracks folders for specific applications. There is no way to get project file for any open application, so it is not something we can do for all applications which exist. We can support this for specific applications.

Comparing Estimated time with actual time
Estimated time for a project/task is often different from the actual time spent. It would be great if there's a feature that showed the difference

Hit "play" on a previous tagged entry to start timer again
After working on Task A, you switch to Task B and create the new tags. Then, when you want to switch back to Task A, it would be nice if you could just right click on the previous block of time (or select from the drop down in the corner) to start the timer again for Task A. Instead of having to retype in the popup (just takes more time).

Please add ctrl+A screenshot to select entire day in timeline
Once I finished tracking all periods in a day, I like to select all the rest and assign a generic non-billable task, so I know that the entire day is accounted for. This would make that task much faster.
3 votesNot enough votes. There is also a workaround that doesn't require much time or work, simply set selections to "Select only untagged activities" (the dropdown is next to the "Add tag" button, in older versions this isn't in a dropdown but position is the same), click on any timeline that has activities over the entire tracked period (usually the Computer usage or Applications timelines), and select all activities in the activity list on the bottom left (the checkbox in the header checks out all checkboxes in the list). At most this is a 3-step process, for some in may even be shorter depending on your usual work flow.

Multiple monitors registrations
It will be usefull, in a muli-monitor enviroment, to have a timeline for every monitor.
Sometime I see that the product register Outlook for long time, only because I was working on the other monitor.
Have a timeline for every monitor will be usefull3 votesManicTime will only track active application, not all applications running.
You can set screenshots to capture all desktops at one if that maybe helps.
