To make it easier at a glance to see what you've been working on I would like sub-tag colours to relate to the parent tag. do do this I usually manually pick a colour in the same part of the spectrum as the parent tag, but I think it would work just as well to 50% 50% mix a new random colour with the parent colour.

This could be the method of generating the default colour when you 'skip' a parent tag colour, then you can over-ride it as per usual.

Perhaps the percentage should be 70-30 or something else, but just so it looks related to the parent but not identical.

I work different shift patterns and use the computer for personal as well as business. I'd like the ability to go off record until a pre-configured time, i.e. until I start work the following day. My PC usage often goes past midnight, so go off record until tomorrow doesn't work. I'd like the ability to set a default go on record time within configuration, then within the system tray icon "Go of record until" menu have a 5th option called "Until xx:xx" where xx:xx is the pre-configured time.

I'd also like a 6th menu option called something like "Until ??:??". A dialog popup would then ask the user to select a time. Most weeks the 5th option above would be great, but some weeks I'm on call etc, so get home at random times with 11 hours between shifts. So being able to enter a custom time on the fly would be great.

Setting this as ManicTime Server as there is no "ManicTime Android" listed.

Its great that ManicTime is available on Android .. but one of the big problems is that Android is filled with limitations that prevent ManicTIme from doing more.

I think the easiest solution that would work would be if ManicTime operated only within a selected Profile (e.g. Personal or Work) ..

On GSuite you can use the MDM to allow company devices to have a Work Profile and a Personal Profile. Work Profile then has a series of restrictions, forced installs, etc.

I would like to track the location of my employees, the time in various apps, etc .. BUT .. I don't want that to be surveillance. So therefore if its only showing me the time they are spending in their Work Profile on their android phone .. then as an employer I'm only seeing their work time ..

Also - for location tracking .. it would be nice if the employee can click on each item and choose what gets sync'd to the server... Much along the lines of my other suggestion. It prevents ManicTime from being deemed a form of employer surveillance.

Currently an employee, working from home, tags all their time in ManicTime. But its currently an all or nothing approach when it comes to syncing to the server.

Instead .. have an indicator bar on the top of the timelines that shows which segments are to be sync'd to the Server ... an employee selects time on any timeline .. right-clicks and chooses "Submit to Server" .. then that time segment is sync'd to the server based on the server settings of 'what to sync" (E.g. sync everything or specific timelines)

This allows employees to keep track of their time and put things like "Personal, Bathroom Breaks" without it being uploaded to the company server.. It will also avoid ManicTime use in a company from being considered "Surveilance" .. employees will be more apt to use it for their own benefit because they don't have to worry about sharing with their employer.
