  1. screenshot push only from specific site/workplace to save bandwidth

    The goal is to make screenshot upload only happen manually (when I click send now button) while I am remote. But as soon as I get back to the office screenshots can upload immediately without user interaction as usual.

    When running on limited data this would be a useful feauture and would allow using core features without screenshot when required.

    I am using the linux client primarily - if that makes a difference.

  2. Make timers more visual

    Visual timers are things we often use as children to learn about time, but they remain useful for many adults.

    They are especially recommended to those with time blindness (a common challenge for neurodivergent individuals - especially those with ADHD).

    Currently the timer features in Manic Time show only a numeric indicator (like how many minutes and seconds until the current pomodoro session is over. (this is true also when the window is minimised)

    Adding an optional/customisable display style for the existing timers would be a great option for everyone, but it can be of immense benefit for those who…

  3. App management

    I move all applications into folders and use auto tag (folder="XXX"). It would be nice to move those apps or documents to specified folders in bulk.
    In Statistics tab, there is the right opportunity to do so 1) or even add more options for data manipulation other than from the Search or Timeline window 2).

  4. Option to hide tags and notes in the recent tags list

    When I come back from idle I see all my recent tags and notes on the side, but I don't want anyone touching the mouse of my computer to see all my tags and notes. It would be nice to have instead some button to show this list.

    You can either disable the Away view from showing or you can password protect it (you have to enter a password every time before the Away view is shown). You can do both in the "Privacy and notifications" section of the settings.

  5. Modify the program name in the statistics

    Because of my personal hobbies, I have play some gal game. But sometimes, this gal will have same program name in statistics. I can't distinguish this. I'd like to be able to roll out a feature to change the name of a program in the stats

  6. Set default for "Go off the record" context menu on tray icon

    On Windows, the context menu of ManicTime's tray icon has "Go off the record" with a sub-menu for the desired duration. But if the user clicks on "Go off the record" directly, the default is "Until you turn on".

    The best would be to not do anything and force users to make a selection in the sub-menu, but now that it's been like that for a while, the best alternative would be the option to set which timeframe is used.

    The number of times I've lost a long period of tracking because of this...

    Or a setting to be reminded…

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  11. 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?

  12. 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.

  13. 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

  14. 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…

  15. 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.

  16. 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

  17. 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.)

  18. Thunderbird Lightning timeline similar to Outlook

    Add a timeline for Thunderbird Lightning calendars similar as is currently possible with Outlook. The events should be stored in a sqlite database (local.sqlite) so they should be rather easy to extract.

  19. allow to check specific items in advanced search

    please allow to check specific items in advanced search so I could use the calculator to calculate just those items and not all that comes up in the list.

  20. Ability to Filter the Productive, Neutral and Unproductive Column for Websites, Applications, and Documents.

    It would tremendously reduce the time spent categorizing Websites, Applications, and Documents, if there were a filter on the productivity column. Having this function would allow filtering out everything I've already categorized as productive or unproductive, and show mostly things I've yet to categorize if I hadn't purposely left them as Neutral.
