  1. Provide a Synology NAS AddOn to allow the server to run from these devices

    There are many SMB's running their office tools on their Synology NAS. It would be pretty nice to have the Manic Time Server running on this platform too. MT is just the kind of tool/facility to run from a NAS, providing secure access from everywhere.

  2. Track which Chrome profile is in use.

    I use separate Chrome profiles for work and not-work. When I access a site like, "mail.google.com", I currently can't tell if it's for work or not. Having the added information about the Chrome profile would completely fix this.

  3. Screenshots Text Searchable / OCR

    I desperately want to be able to search the text within screenshots. This would make my life 100000x easier. As I switch between many clients I have to work my way through each screenshot working out what client that bit of time was for etc.

  4. trigger screenshot shortcut

    The ability to trigger a screenshot on demand.

    Sometimes I need a screenshot of something in case I need to refer to it later, it would be good if this could be in manic time instead of having dozens of windows Snip tools open.

  5. Improved Virtual Desktop Tracking

    I organize my client projects into virtual desktops on Windows 11, with each desktop dedicated to a specific project.

    It would be very helpful if the app could better support tracking these virtual desktops. Currently, it’s possible to see which desktop is used, but it’s subtle and not easy to identify. Hovering over the activity status in the timeline shows the active desktop, but this is cumbersome.

    Could you add a feature to make the active virtual desktop more visible, perhaps with a color-coded bar or indicator? This would greatly improve usability for tracking project times.

    Thanks for considering this…

  7. easier access to tag editor

    Current design: the tag editor is hidden away as the only item of an unnamed drop down menu at the left side edge of the tags timeline, which also means it takes two clicks to get to it. This also leads to a slightly confusing unused vertical area across all tag lines.

    Proposed solution: add a tag editor button to the Tags group in the Day ribbon.

  8. Machine Learning Tags

    I'd like tags to be suggested based on machine learning, so I don't have to come up with rules, I work on many small projects, so creating rules manually is too time-consuming.
    I'd like some machine learning to look at past tagging and suggest the correct tag (tags can be those found via the Jira integration, rather than AI making up text)
    The machine learning should take into account adjacent tags, and how I've tagged things in the past. there should be a huge wealth of data.
    It could also use the screenshots, often a client logo appears on those.

  9. Colorblind Mode

    I don't know if this is the only instance of this, but colors like this make it impossible for me (and approx. 10% of the population) to use this feature efficiently.

    Offering a colorblind mode, or a way to customize colors when they are used, would be be great.

  10. Copy one entry from advanced search result to allow pasting in tags timeline

    I do a lot of manual tagging, and sometimes I can't quite remember what tag I used last time I did something half a year ago. I then use Advanced Search to find the previously used entry in the Tags timeline.

    I would like to be able to right-click a single entry from the results list and press Copy, or select it and press Ctrl+C on the keyboard. I could then switch back to the main window, select a period of time and use the existing Paste operation.

    I know that the activity Details list in the Day view has…

  11. Responsive or mobile friendly design for Server Frontend

    The Website is currently unusable from mobile. Adding a Tag or changing some values are not doable, timeline view is too small.
    IT would be great to make at least a few features more mobile friendly.

  12. integrate with gpt-4o

    I've just tested a CSV export of part of my day in chat gpt and it correctly identified which parts of my day were productive, what software I used and the total time I spent in work. I then asked it to include relevant support tasks, like explorer operations, and it did that too. I found this far quicker than assigning tags or autotags.

    I'm not sure what an integration would look like, but a dump to clipboard of csv data of the current day might be a start. The possibilities are amazing, especially if you throw screenshots into the…

  13. Disable tracking for the weekend/till Monday

    Hi

    I'd like to have the option to pause Manictime from tracking by right clicking on the taskbar tray icon.

    We currently have the option to pause for:
    - 15 minutes,
    - 1 hour,
    - till tomorrow
    - till manually enabled again.

    I think that "Pause till Monday" will be a nice extra option to have to disable tracking during the weekend.
