Colour code URLs that differ by port with different colours.
When viewing my document timeline I see all the same colour for various client work, this is because it all occurs on the localhost domain (but each client has a different port) so it would be great if urls that differed by port could also differ by colour.

In ManicTime only groups can have different colors and since each domain is it's own group and the port is not a part of the domain this is too complicated to add. But this can be achieved with auto tags where each group can be a domain with port. So we suggest you use auto tags for this.

There is a deeper problem than just colour-coding here. From what I can see (new user of ManicTime here), the "Web Sites" report will see http://localhost, http://localhost:8000, and http://localhost:8888 as the same website. Very often they'll be different sites.
The necessary data *is* captured (the "details" of the websites report shows the full URLs, with port and path), but - regardless of what port the site is on - they are grouped under a name of "localhost"
If the system added any port numbers it saw after the hostname, and had a little bit of baked in logic to know that http://hostname:80/ is the same as https://hostname/ then everything would be fine and dandy :) (ditto to https and 443 of course)
