As often requested in the old Forum, there are quite a few People that like to see a Linux-Version of ManicTime. Main-Focus may be Ubuntu for greatest audience.
I'm a Software-Developer and currently ManicTime is the only reason I don't switch to Linux as Develoment Enviroment. Since I know ManicTime, I can't imagine to work without it ;(
At best, you can modify the Windows-Version to run on Mono (Open Source .NET-runtime environment). This may work with very little effort.
Greatest challenge would be to read address-bar of browsers on the different gui toolkits.
Thanks in advance,

I'd like to kick off the CSV-Export from the command line. Basically, what i'm looking for is something that i can automate somewhat like this:

> ManicTime.exe --export="Tags" > mttags.csv
> ManicTime.exe --export="Applications" > mtapps.csv

and so on. It does not need to be exactly like that, but if I could
put this in a batch file, it would remove an error source from my
current workflow.

If the export could be limited to a certain date-range (like the existing GUI export), export date-format (unix vs. windows time format) and export delimiter (commas vs. tabs) that would be the icing on the cake. But I'll settle for any export right now.

Having the stuff printed to the terminal would be good enough, because writing it into a file is fairly easy (the "> mt_tags.csv" part), and as a plus you could also just process it in another script without an intermediary file.

It would be great if ManicTime implemented a way of working easily with the Pomodoro Technique[1]. It could be a very simple implementation:

• A pomodoro checkbox in the stopwatch


• A way of setting intervals aka "pomodoros" (e.g., the classic 25 minutes work + 5 minutes break)


• A way of setting how many intervals before prompting for a longer break


• When an a break or interval is reached, the tags dialog pops up asking you to tag your time (e.g., whether you've just been working, or breaking)

ManicTime already does so much of what's required for a really rich Pomodoro experience and so much more (I use it in the way described above but I do it manually using the stopwatch and tagging). The Pomodoro technique is really popular[2], especially among students. Having these features built in would be a nice addition to ManicTime.
