Point in Time Markers
Ability to add Point-In-Time Markers to any of the timelines.
I have a custom timeline that pulls from a local web source - it shows me my telephone logs - incoming and outgoing calls. Timelines work great for that because there is a start and a finish.
I want to also show when I receive and send SMS messages as well. I can already import them from my phone - but they are point in time - not duration.
Right-click -> Add Marker
Select the Icon, enter the time it occurred at, one or more tags, and notes.
It would also allow you to mark up your existing time by indicating milestones... or perhaps adding bookmarks for future reference ...
I wish this would get some more votes. I think there is value in markers, line charts, like CPU usage chart, where it would show a changing value, screenshot timeline, which could also be used for photos...

Another potential use for this would be for photos. If there are photos that are related to a given timeline, a plugin can be written that displays the date/time of when the photo was taken, and you can hover over it to preview the image on the timeline
I take photos of my odometer when taking business trips - then use the EXIF information embedded in the photo to determine when and where it was. Much easier than a vehicle log - but being able to integrate things together with Manictime is the challenge.

ManicTime does great job while tagging and logging time periods. It is also necessary to tag and log certain moments of time. That would be for example equivalent of reaching milestones in projects or moments of starting certain things. That would allow not only tracking used net working time but also tracking lead times which might be at times even more important than actual time spent.
