Secondary tag timeline
i would like to see an option to add a second tag timeline to the main screen. when adding a tag by selecting a timeframe, there should be an option in the menu "add [secondary tag customized label]" below "add tag" option. potential use cases are:
* tracking your mood separately from activities
* keeping a sepcific project on a separate timeline
* tracking your location (using tags such as "home", "work", "bus") independently of activities
* tracking your company (alone / co-workers / with partner, what have you)
... and countless others.this would make manictime more customizable.
75 votesToo much of expert feature. It increases complexity too much. For each tag user would have to choose on which timeline they want it, different tag sources for different tag timelines... There are a lot of things to change.

Merge multiple tagged times together
It would be nice if I could merge multiple selected times with same tag (with all the notes concatenated together)
Maybe triggered by an right-click option after selecting a time frame
Or an option to use the concatenated notes while adding a new tag over a timeframe that contains already tagged time
So it would be possible to constantly add short notes everytime during the work, and later tag the whole time, joining the already taken notes together

Regularly reminds you to take short breaks for your eyes.
It would be great if ManicTime implemented a regularly reminds for eyes.
When you are working at a computer it is easy to forget about time. This leads to eye strain and other physical problems.
Screen dims and blocking long breaks every hour (displays the timer showing how much time is left before the end of the break and skip button).
Before the beginning of a long break in center of the screen displays a notice - "if you want to start a break? - start / take me 3 minutes/ skip". In "strict mode" such notice does not appear,…50 votesThere are a lot of other apps specialised for this, it would only make ManicTime even more complex.

Detect remote desktop connections
It would be nice if ManicTime could detect that a computer is controlled through a remote desktop connection such as through TeamViewer, and give the option to not track that time as active.
I have ManicTime installed on both my home and office computer, and sometimes need to do something on my office computer remotely when I'm at home. In effect, this time gets counted as doubly active, because my home ManicTime client will detect that I'm working in the TeamViewer application, while the office ManicTime client thinks I'm actually on the computer there and working in the local applications.…

Merge tags / autotags
I'm finding that I have lots of near-duplicate autotags in my system. I would like to clean this up by merging similar autotags, but there's no easy way to do this. Ideal workflow would be something like:
Select two tags.
Click "Merge tags."
Optionally update tag title.
All rules from both tags now appear under the one remaining tag.23 votesThis is already available through the "Replace" feature in the auto tag editor. Just select the two auto tags you want to merge, write the name of the one that is not correct in the "Find" field, write the name of the correct one in the "Replace with" field and after you press ok button of the window a prompt should pop up asking you if you want to merge the two auto tags, just press ok and there will be a single auto tag with all the rules from both previous auto tags. Note that tags (and auto tags) have 3 properties that make them unique, the title, notes and the billable property. If you want to merge auto tags with same name where one is billable and one is not for example all you need to do is edit one of those to match the other and they…

Auto ignore auto tags smaller than X seconds
Sometimes, I have several project windows for different customers open at once.
When I switch windows and get the wrong one, I switch again to the right one.
It would be cool if the resulting auto tag could be ignored in the same way as gaps can be filled.This could either be a global setting or a per-auto-tag setting.
Thanks!

How color is chosen: sub-tag could mix a new colour with parent tag colour
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,…

Divide time that is tagged with multiple tags
Imagine today I worked 14 hours on something that benefits client A and client B. I tagged this time with both tags, "Client A" and "Client B".
Currently ManicTime's timesheet tells me I have worked 28 hours today, which is oviously not true.
I would like to show the time as 7 hours for tag "Client A" and 7 hours for tag "Client B".

Go off the record until configured time
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 ??:??".…
10 votesGo off the record until tomorrow will work with Time shift. So if you set time shift to 5am, then MT will start tracking at 5 am and you can use "Until tomorrow".

Split Tagged Category and Add Across Other Tags
I use tags to keep track of time spent on billable projects during the day. I use other tags to track time spent on non-project specific tasks, that are still billable. I would like to be able to automatically split this non-project specific time across all billable projects for the day.

Enhancing Tracking schedule: Capture activity if user is active even though outside scheduled timeframe.
Enhancing Tracking schedule: Capture activity if user is active even though outside scheduled timeframe.
This is useful because the user can then track their "normal" daily usage and be prompted when they are away but still capture their "extra" usage which is outside the normal working hours.
An example would be when a crisis occurs.
Normal I work from 9am to 5pm. I want to be prompted when there are time gaps in my day so I have set up a tracking schedule for 9am to 5pm. THIS WORKS PERFECTLY!
However, an emergency has occurred and I am now working…

Linux Client - Fully Local UI
Currently, the Linux client lacks its own UI - it must be used with a separate server to act as its UI. The problem is, if you're already using a remote central server to coordinate multiple clients you can't run that server locally - and having to depend on a remote server as the only form of UI makes it impossible to work while offline (i.e. on flights, out in the field, etc). Furthermore, the only way to use screenshots is by syncing them - which will consume an immense amount of additional data, which may not be feasible if…

Arc for iOS location tracking support now that the Moves App has reached EOL status
I was disappointed to learn today that Facebook is discontinuing the Moves App, as I've relied a lot on it to log my on-site service visits. I've found what I consider is a suitable substitute, the Arc App for iOS. I would really like to see support for this.
