ManicTime automatically collects data on your computer usage. It records active and away time, as well as which applications you used and for how long you used them. The data ManicTime collects is stored in a local database on your computer. Collected data is private, which means it is not transmitted anywhere or shared with anyone. Having a local database also enables you to use ManicTime offline, without an Internet connection. Collected data is presented using timelines. There are three predefined timelines: Activity: Shows your active time and away(idle) time Applications: Shows which application you used, when and for how long Tags: Shows tags you created. This timeline is not automatically generated it is filled with time tags you entered. When you move your mouse over a timeline, each timeline shows you a hint about an underlying activity. Hint displays detailed information about an activity such as title, application name, start and end times and duration. Once data is collected you can use our simple click and drag feature to accurately tag how you spent your time. For example you can easily select time between when you came to work and when you left for lunch break. Because there is so much data available about your computer usage, you are able to tag spent time for days in the past. You can also select and tag the time a computer was not running or when you were away(idle). Based on this data you can also generate various statistics. You can easily find out how much time you spend behind a computer or how much time you spend browsing the web. Time tagging allows you to see how you spent your time based on your own time tags. So based on your time tags you are able to see for example how much time you spent on a certain project or even a specific feature. If for example you tagged the time it takes you to get to work, you would be able to see how much time you loose in transit.
