What you can do with ManicTime reports
Create overtime, productivity, application usage, attendance, timesheet, and invoice reports from tracked data.
Multiple report types from one dataset
Overtime, productivity, attendance, app usage, and timesheets all pull from the same tracked data. There is no need to maintain separate systems for different reporting needs.
View reports at any level
Reports can be generated for individuals, specific teams, or the entire organization — giving managers the right granularity for each decision.
Rate apps by productivity
Label applications and websites as productive or unproductive, then generate productivity reports that show how time is actually being used across roles and teams.
Attendance, start and end times
Identify who arrived late, who left early, and whether daily work targets were met — using automatic tracking data, not self-reported check-ins.

Overtime report
In many workplaces, it's essential to keep track of employees' working hours to ensure productivity, compliance with labor laws, and fair compensation. To help with this, ManicTime enables you to set a specific target for the number of hours that an employee should work in a day. This target might be the standard full-time working hours for your industry or a custom requirement based on your business needs. Once you've established this daily working hour target, ManicTime will then look at all available data and calculate Overtime for each user per day, week or month.
Start / End
In a manner similar to tracking overtime, you can define the beginning and end of the workday. ManicTime utilizes all available data to indicate whether each user adhered to the specified work time limits.
Active time
Reveals the periods when users are most engaged and productive. You can view this data on an individual basis, for specific teams, or across the entire company.
Applications and websites report
This report provides insights into the most frequently used applications and websites. It allows you to track the usage of each application or website by showing the specific hours it was accessed and identifying the users who utilize it the most.
Productivity report
You have the option to categorize each application or website as either productive or unproductive. With these assignments, you can generate a productivity report for the entire company, specific teams, or individual users, helping assess how time is spent and optimize work efficiency.

Our customer opinions
This software automatically tracks the time you spend on your computer. When you step away from your computer for a certain length of time (set by user), it will prompt you to tag that time. For example, if I'm getting coffee and have a 20 minute chat about the weekend, I tag it as personal. But if I have a chat about an upcoming or existing project, I tag it about that project. For the tasks you do on the computer, it can save screenshots every X seconds (again, set by user), so that you can have a reminder when you go to do your billing what each task was for.
I like this application because with manic time we can verify who does their right job. And we also have better control because we can choose the best workers to increase production works very well and without errors.
Just wanted to let you know that I think your software has helped me capture $1000's of dollars in revenue that I just wasn't billing before, as I wasn't doing a very good job of tracking my time. With ManicTime I get it all, and if I were ever to be audited by a client, I could give them every detail. Thanks so much!
I like that it tracks inactive time on the computer so that you can remember when you started working and when you stopped, and when you took breaks. Very easy to use, I don't have to remember to log in and the app does everything for me without me even doing anything except installing the program. It shows exactly what page and project you were working on and for how long and when.
There is a lot to love about Manic Time. It was easy to use and did way more than I was expecting from it. The reporting was informative. The editing was awesome. Tagging and managing the time tracked is robust, yet simple. It is great at taking the tracking out of time tracking. It just does 90% for you. The last 10% is tagging and validating. It really does an amazing job at showing how much time is wasted on mundane tasks or mindless browsing. I handed in my time to a project manager. He asked how I knew I worked 3.28 hours on a specific task. "Manic Time" was my answer.
Just renewed my licence for another year Just thought I'd let you know that this is one of the best pieces of software I've ever installed on my computer, free or paid for. I run my own business which principally relies on writing technical reports. ManicTime has made it so much easier to track my time over the various projects and therefore manage my fees and costs. (And your support has been excellent when I have had the odd problem).
ManicTime’s ease of use is unmatched, thanks to its intuitive interface and flexible granularity in time-tracking. The power to dive as deep as you need into data with comprehensive tagging and reporting systems is a significant upside. Its vast number of features like document, application, and activity trackers streamline the process of managing and analyzing time efficiently. Moreover, ManicTime’s advanced search capabilities, coupled with the functionality to annotate tagged time, make it a vital tool for enhancing productivity and recalling information during discussions.

I do contract work and manage multiple projects where I bounce between projects on an almost by the minute basis. Once tagging is setup I can easily tag all my activities as I do them and my time accumulates in each project bucket. At the end of the day my timesheet is a breeze. This is the best tool I have found so far for a work style that involves heavy duty multi-tasking. I don't know what I would do without ManicTime. Well designed and thought out product.
The interface is very intuitive and easy to use. The ability to tag and color-code my work allows me to see at a glance how my day has been going. I can organize and structure things as much or as little as I like. What a great product!
It provides with useful reports which track and monitor the computer usage of employees, as well as the time spent on each computer program or application. Also the presence of an automatic screenshot feature resulted in an increase in my employees’ productivity. It runs automatically on my computer, great.
