  2. 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…

  4. 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…

  6. Minimal time for AutoTag entry

    Some activities that are auto tagged by location are taking more time in reality. So it would be great to be able to set a minimal value for auto expanding the time into it, or some padding values (+/- 3 minutes). For example my commute is always measured by the time that my vehicle is in movement (about 6 minutes), however, I'd like to automatically add to that time 3 minutes before and after the movement for the preparing, as it takes time to pack, to take my vehicle out of the garage, etc.

  7. Custom title: Easier creation / sharing and application to past data (of limited range, e.g. past 7 days)

    It would be great if the CustomTitle.txt feature would get a community source so that not every user has to re-invent the wheel and has to write a regex for every application.
    Similar to the plugin management, a searchable online repository that can be used to add lines to CustomTitle.txt would be great, with an online suggestion feature to add new entries.
    Please also keep the plaintext file and openness of this feature even with this addition.

    Similarly, it would be great to apply new CustomTitle.txt document/application regex rules to the recorded data of the past 7 days.

  8. Extend/Shrink start/end of a selected tag using keyboard shortcut

    Extend/Shring start/end of a selected tag using keyboard shortcuts.
    When selecting a tag on timeline, If I need to extend/shrink its start/end to a specific point in time, the normal way to do this is to mouse drag the start/end edge to the desired point on the timeline.

    It would be more easier and efficient if there exist the following keyboard shortcuts:
    - keyboard shortcut to move (extend/shrink) the selected tag's start edge to the current mouse's position on the timeline and another one for the end edge.
    - keyboard shortcut to extend the selected tag's start edge to the…

  9. ability to fill previous document timeline after loading new tracker plugin (by clicking a button or something like that)

    for example, i wrote a plugin for Autodesk Motionbuilder, the ProcessName is 'motionbuilder', and the Application Name showed in ManicTime is 'Autodesk Motionbuilder'.
    when i click a button, manictime let me select a tracker plugin and an Application. then search the recorded Application infos, apply the string split rules to and get Document info. finally fill them into previous Document timeline

  10. 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.

  11. Magnifying Cursor

    While it is relatively easy to 'zoom in' on the timeline to see individual slices, I'd like to have a 'magnifying cursor' UI element, which magnifies the timeline area locally around the cursor to ease selecting a slice, without having to zoom & drag the whole timeline.

  12. Total in Top Tags Statistics view

    I'd like to see a total in the Top Tags Statistic view exactly like how the Day view does. As a salary employee it will let me know if I've made my 40 hours of work for the week.

  14. Absorb/Append - Easier Navigation (Alphabetical Tag) List When Assigning Rule

    In the absorb/append rule window (Edit Autotag -> Advanced), the tags that can be absorbed or appended are listed in a random order - would it be possible to alphabetize them?

  15. OneNote plugin to track Pages instead of Sections

    It's really nice to have a OneNote plugin. I organise using OneNote intensively. My notes are organised in a few major sections and a lot of Pages in each section. The tracker actually takes the section name and not the page name. It would be nice if we had the option to pick either. As a workaround I can always use the App tracking to find my time on each of the Pages because the Pages are displayed in the titlebar. whoever it would be more convenient and quicker to just have them totalled automatically in the Docs section.

  16. Screenshots available in AutoTag timeline

    Screenshots are currently limited to Application and Document timelines it seems (this is logical)

    When I suspect my rules have incorrectly matched something, there is no way to see the screenshot captured at that point. I think that would be quite useful as a quick mechanism to confirm the auto tag in question

  17. Allow custom date ranges to be stored in statistics tab

    Two similar but independent features for the 'Statistics' tab to add custom date ranges:

    1. Allow the user to add new date ranges to the preset dropdown box.
      These can be 'fixed' ranges with a start/end date set by the user and a label.
      Additionally it would be great if the user could add 'relative' dates like "This week", etc.
      This would be helpful for countries with financial years end partway through the year (Eg Australia)
      It would also be useful for custom development 'Sprint' periods.

    2. Allow each 'statistics tab' to have its own date range that can be saved.
      Eg…

  18. Add Timesheet Date Option: "All to date"

    Similar to "Month to date", etc. I would like an option to view all timesheet data which is stored, even going back previous years.

    I can set this date manually (with some trial and error I can find the "start" date), but if I save the report with the date range, it will save today as the end date, so I'd always have to remember to update the end date when re-running the report, then re-saving.

  19. periodic poll what your working on

    I like the reminder to check what I'm working on. However I find it to be to open. Can ManicTime require a reponse? That way I activaly have to say what I'm working on.

    I would like to extend the request and also ask other questions; like whom I have consulted for the thing I'm working on, is it planned work or ad-hoc, is it my main work of a supporting task that I'm working on.
    I don't want a long survey, just small questions and hence at a different time interval

  20. Show which type of data will be deleted in confirm screen

    Currently when you highlight a timespan in the timeline you get the option to delete a number of things: tags, applications, screenshots, everything, etc. Once you clicked you get a confirmation dialog with title "Delete" and text "Are you sure?".

    It would be better if the type of data you're deleting is shown once more in the title of this dialog.

    (It's mostly "screenshots" and "delete all" which scare me because they're next to each other in the menu, and I'm not sure the "Undo" function restores screenshots once deleted.)
