Record start/end time, number, name or other identifying information on a separate timeline

The Cisco system (and others, I'm guessing) have web portals (and hopefully APIs) for individual users to access their call records from a central place, but those would require authentication to a central system.

I was able to dial my attached phone from within Outlook and from a company web phone directory, a la Skype, though, so there is some sort of mechanism to control the physical phone itself from the desktop. Hopefully this control would also include the ability to read that phone's call log, rather than have to request permission against a centralized system where other user's data would be stored, too.

Sometimes, it is possible to perform a bit of multitasking. A task may require attention every 5-10 minutes, in which time another similar task may be performed. - Both tasks are billable.
An example is server maintenance for a client (or several clients). Installing and configuring updates, software, etc. - Often such tasks are "fragmented" and may be performed in parallel.
It would be great to be able to have an option in Settings to switch on "Track Multiple tasks simultaneously", which enables several stopwatches in parallel. - This saves me from having to manually tracking it and manually adding it to the timeframe.

The old ManicTime looked so much better. I've been using only the classic 2.5.4.0 version as the tags, colours and theme are just so much better to read and represent. I really hate the new UI, sure it's easy enough to use the old version but after sometime lots of bugs and features will be left out to those who want to stick with the classic UI. Please offer Classic style and a Skins options for users, most great programs and techie programs have skinnable options. Nobody wants to be forced using a UI they dislike especially the new look flat UI just look and feel horrible, like a 1D plane.

Currently, the pomodoro timer opens a window that steals the focus from the current application.
While this might be good to signal the break, it can also affect current work. Especially when working with graphic or engineering applications where a single command might take several minutes (e.g. using a polygon mask in a graphics program), this might jeopardize the work of the user, making the technique inefficient.

Therefore I'd like to suggest to implement an option where a system tray popup is shown instead. When the user clicks the pop up, the window to tag the break is shown (as it is now). Optionally, a sound could also be played to emphasize the break.

It will be better if you can add this feature to segment autotags like (category 1, category 2) and under each category there will be several independent autotags. Currently i have 20 autotags and want to group them into 3 category but that is not possible. These are some suggestion how to implement this.

1) In Timesheet: It can be added in timesheet generation and giving an option to group autoatags and it will show total time spent under each category.

2) In Timeline: It can also be displayed in autotag timeline and user will have option whether to show all autotags or category of autotags.

3) In autotag editor: The user can be given an option to categorize their autotags and based on these category data will be displayed in timeline and timesheet.

Thank you.

It would be nice if ManicTime could detect that a computer is controlled through a remote desktop connection such as through TeamViewer, and give the option to not track that time as active.

I have ManicTime installed on both my home and office computer, and sometimes need to do something on my office computer remotely when I'm at home. In effect, this time gets counted as doubly active, because my home ManicTime client will detect that I'm working in the TeamViewer application, while the office ManicTime client thinks I'm actually on the computer there and working in the local applications. (It also asks me about my away time when I log in, which I don't really want it to do unless I'm actually back in the office).

If given the option, I'd choose to not have ManicTime track activity when the computer it's running on is controlled remotely.

In previous versions, I seem to remember in at least one, if not all, of the various tag dialogs and menus showing recent tags (e.g., "What will you work on", "Add tag", "Welcome back! Would you like to tag your away time?", etc.), it would show when we last used each listed tag combination or note (if cursor in the Notes input box). Could you add that back?

(I find it particularly useful for notes because I can't always tell, with my cursor in the Notes input, which notes were previously used with the selected tag combination, and which are just "recently used" but with a different tag combination. Last used can also be useful for the tag combinations, too).

Enhancing Tracking schedule: Capture activity if user is active even though outside scheduled timeframe.

This is useful because the user can then track their "normal" daily usage and be prompted when they are away but still capture their "extra" usage which is outside the normal working hours.

An example would be when a crisis occurs.

Normal I work from 9am to 5pm. I want to be prompted when there are time gaps in my day so I have set up a tracking schedule for 9am to 5pm. THIS WORKS PERFECTLY!

However, an emergency has occurred and I am now working from 7pm to 11pm correcting a problem. Manictime will not track this time since I am outside my scheduled timeframe and "Off the record".

If would be really nice if it would recognize the activity and record it. It doesn't need to prompt me to fill in time gaps (since I am out of my scheduled timeframe) but it could still capture my activity.

This would allow for tracking of the exceptions outside the normal.

Thanks
