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.

Installation without admin rights
ManicTime needs admin rights for installation which is restricted in lots of companies. But there are software which can be installed without admin rights like Visual Studio Code. It is installed in C:\users\youruser\AppData\Local\Programs
It would be very nice if manic time could do the same if it's possible.

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.

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.

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.

Please add ctrl+A screenshot to select entire day in timeline
Once I finished tracking all periods in a day, I like to select all the rest and assign a generic non-billable task, so I know that the entire day is accounted for. This would make that task much faster.
3 votesNot enough votes. There is also a workaround that doesn't require much time or work, simply set selections to "Select only untagged activities" (the dropdown is next to the "Add tag" button, in older versions this isn't in a dropdown but position is the same), click on any timeline that has activities over the entire tracked period (usually the Computer usage or Applications timelines), and select all activities in the activity list on the bottom left (the checkbox in the header checks out all checkboxes in the list). At most this is a 3-step process, for some in may even be shorter depending on your usual work flow.

Comparing Estimated time with actual time
Estimated time for a project/task is often different from the actual time spent. It would be great if there's a feature that showed the difference

Track the folders wgere the project files are located
It would be nice if it was possible to track the Folder were the files are located. Most businesess use a folder structure that represents all the projects that are running. This way you only need to track the folder P:\clients\project.. and all files with this string will be tracked for one project.
Thanks,
Jaap3 votesMT tracks folders for specific applications. There is no way to get project file for any open application, so it is not something we can do for all applications which exist. We can support this for specific applications.

Use the same tag list for Tags and AutoTags
I almost always need to use the same set of tags for both manually tagging and auto-tagging, as auto-tagging will take care of applications and specific app titles or app title filters, but if I switch to more general apps like notepad/chrome/windows explorer in between the specific app, I still want to tag those apps under the same tag (say it's a project name for example). However currently the two lists are completely independent, and I have to create the same tag in both tag lists :(
3 votesNot enough votes. I will just add that Pick from tags is available when created auto tag.

"treat sound as Active" exept some program
There is missing a very important thing in this option "treat sound as Active", there must be "except this programs" option. For example, some music apps didn't need to "treat sound".

Option to change time format to 24hr
I prefer to use time in 24hr format e.g. 15:30 instead of 3:30 pm.
If there could be an option to set this I would be very appreciative.3 votesIf there are more votes for this we might add this, but currently it takes system settings. So if in windows you use 24h format, ManicTime will also use it.

Are there any plans to develop ManicTime Mac even further?
I initially thought the ManicTime Mac app was just something with no client interface and I can at least turn on the stopwatch and add a tag to the server. But it appears I cannot? It seems counterproductive to tag certain activity in the Mac later as I'll have to zero in on the parts where actual work was done.
Will there be improvements in the not-so-distant future? Thanks!
3 votesCurrently we are working on cloud/Mt Server interface, so more or less anything which can be done on Windows version can be done on web UI.

Enhancements to Advanced Search
- When opening Advanced Search, please show the last used date in the start date of "Date between"
- Consider allowing saving custom date ranges
- Automatically activate "Date between" when any of the date fields or the "Custom field" are clicked (avoids an unnecessary mouse click)

Take screenshot on every tab switch - Applications are more and more becoming tabs
Take screenshot on every application switch is very useful, but I am running more and more 'applications as tabs' in Chrome, so the 'on application switch setting' misses more detail than I would like.
I use this feature to go back in time and recover data, see what was happening at a given time. Storage is not a concern for me, granularity is. I end up setting my screenshot interval to 15 or 30 seconds, but still miss important details at this level for certain 'way back machine' type use cases.
Seems like an relatively easy add, just add a…

Adding a "tentative" attribute to tags that are entered in advance
It would be nice to be able to use ManicTime to plan my day as well. As it is now, I use a separate tool for planning what I'm going to do, and then transfer over all the tasks into ManicTime to track them. You can currently add tags for future work, but these estimates may end up being incorrect. And when you go back to manic time, there is no way to tell which tags you entered after working on them and which tags were entered before starting them. Allowing users to enter tags for future work, and not…
3 votesNot enough votes, too much added complexity with confirming, adding a note that the tag is tentative is a viable workaround.
