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.

Function to distinguish 2 programs that share the same .exe name?
I don't know where to ask this so might as well do it here.
I have 2 video games that use the same engine, so when I launched them they both have the same name (ex: engine.exe) but they both have different title name of course. The application tracker treats them as the same thing and lump their hours up together. Is there a way to separate them somehow?3 votesYou could use autotags like Alexander suggested.
ManicTime used to work this way, we used whole path to distinguish apps, but then the problem was then when for example new Firefox came, and it was in a different folder it created a different entry, so you were stuck with two Firefoxes for example. Then we decided to just use the executable for apps and it came in handy on the server as well, where you can it shows a single Firefox from multiple machines.
If this gets some more support, we might add some way where you could tell ManicTime to make an exception for specific apps.

You need a much better way to deal with conflicts in autotags
Conflicts in autotags are taking me forever. There are so many of them. You need a feature that detects them and that has some form of wizard that will scroll through them all and just ask the user to select which is the tag they want most, either on a day basis or by project, or some other way.
1 voteWe need some more information about this one. Why are conflicts happening?

Customise export formatting
Customise how ManicTime can export time entries (or timesheets), by being able to add fields and separators.
For example, to export time into Carpe Diem Web, the format required is: Tags and narrations in double-quotation marks, and time in decimal hours shown with the word "hour" after.
In this case, the ManicTime user could go into ManicTime's Settings, and set up the formatting for exporting to the clipboard as:
Time (decimal)
Text: " hour ""
Tag1
Text: " "
Notes
Text """ManicTime users who use other similar time-entry software can customise their export options to suite their system.

Track the conversation in Skype
Skype gets tracked correctly when it is running, however not which conversation it is showing. Ideally MT would show which skype thread is being discussed and track against that project. Currently skype title just says "Skype" which is pretty useless. Is it possible to auto detect the chat that is active?
Using:
Skype version 8.65.0.784 votesAs of May 2025 Skype will no longer be available, therefore this is removed from our plans.

Access Advanced Search from any view
Advanced search would be useful when reviewing a Timesheet, but the keyboard shortcut CTRL+SHIFT+F only works when in Day View. While it is possible to navigate to Day View, open Advanced Search, then navigating back to Timesheet View, this is cumbersome.

Total should include timer
Include the current task in the Timer as part of the Total in the bottom right. (And updating every minute would be fine. I don't need to see the seconds ticking off and using CPU).
As a person keeping track of my time I would like to know if I've already worked the desired number of hours without reading the total at the bottom, and the time on the timer and doing the math myself.
Perhaps there would be Completed: {duration} Timer: {duration} Total: {sum of Completed and Timer}1 voteNot enough votes.

Allow Edit Timer Start before you have stopped it
As a user that forgot to start the timer, I would like to correct the start time at any point rather than wait until the timer is stopped so that my information is more accurate (otherwise I need to write down the start time on a piece of paper so that I can edit it later.)
4 votesnot enough support. I will just add that you can start a timer and at the same time also tag from the start time to now with the same tag.

A way to enlarge the tooltip hover screenshots
They are too small to be useful, and using the F12 function works but it requires me to adjust the divider to make it large enough to view anyway. Just having a much larger hover screenshot would work perfectly!!

Add functionnal keyboard support
So far the app is absolutely mouse-dependant. Those little tick boxes are nearly impossible to click with a touchscreen and there doesn't seem to be a way to toggle them with the keyboard. Hence the app is unconvenient to use without a mouse such as with a laptop or tablet. I would expect to be able to switch between the Timeline, the Details and the Summary panels using TAB, and to be able to toggle individual items in the Details and Summary using SPACEBAR
3 votesUsing Ctrl + Tab you will be able to navigate between the Day, Untagged time, Timesheet and Statistics tabs and with focus on different elements (accessed with Tab) you can do a lot with arrows. Since there aren't enough votes nothing additional will be implemented for now.

Screenshot difference compression
Manictime's screenshot feature is a life saver. But it also takes up a ton of space using a full separate image for each screenshot. 90% of the time, adjacent screenshots are nearly identical, except for some text on the screen. Huge storage efficiency could be gained by using difference calculation between screenshots.
For example:
1. Every 10 minutes, take a fresh screenshot. Store it as a png like normal.
2. Every 15 seconds thereafter, take a new screenshot to memory
3. Using a library like ImageMagick, calculate the subtraction from the most recent png screenshot and the new screenshot in…6 votesNot enough votes.

A simple way to go through the conflicting tags for each day and quickly decide which to keep and which to delete instead of having to hunt
A simple way to go through the conflicting tags for each day and quickly decide which to keep and which to delete instead of having to hunt through them manually

Personal Daily Summary Notes Tag
Adding the functionality to append a tag (that is not counted towards your daily hours) for personal note taking inside the manic time app where you can write your summary of the things you have done/doing for the day while you tag your times in the company.
These daily notes can later be aggregrated into a weekly summary which can be stored, extracted, exported to another app such as Teamwork, MS Word, Notes etc.

Notification when app launches on another device
I'd like to know if Manictime can add notification function when one application starts on one device? It is useful for us to track my children's phone and computer usage. The notification can be email, SMS or phone call etc.

Linux Client - Fully Local UI
Currently, the Linux client lacks its own UI - it must be used with a separate server to act as its UI. The problem is, if you're already using a remote central server to coordinate multiple clients you can't run that server locally - and having to depend on a remote server as the only form of UI makes it impossible to work while offline (i.e. on flights, out in the field, etc). Furthermore, the only way to use screenshots is by syncing them - which will consume an immense amount of additional data, which may not be feasible if…
