What changed in each release of ManicTime Server, newest first.
ManicTime Server v2026.3 Beta
November 2, 2026
AI tagging: ManicTime tags your day with AI and saves the tags as drafts. You accept, change or reject each draft. You can also turn on daily AI tagging, which tags each day when it ends. See AI tagging.
AI assistant: ask questions about your time in a chat. The assistant can also tag time and write notes. See AI assistant.
AI note summaries: in the Add tag window, AI writes the note from what you did in that time.
AI administration: connect the server to an AI provider and choose how users review AI tags. On on-premises servers, you can set a daily AI usage limit for each user in the configuration file. See AI administration. On ManicTime Cloud, AI comes with the Ultimate AI plan.
Daily copy of autotags to tags: the server copies your autotags to tags when the day ends. See Autotagging.
New sign-in system for on-premises servers: Windows, Microsoft Entra ID and password sign-in, more than one sign-in method for each user, directory sync, invitations and self-service password reset. Update all ManicTime clients to v2026.3 before you switch. See Sign-in methods.
Developer page with API tokens and API clients. AI tools such as ChatGPT and Claude can now connect to on-premises servers that use the new sign-in system. See Developer page.
Email reports: the server sends a report when the reported period ends, and each user gets the Summary per user report only about themselves.
Azure Blob storage for screenshots on on-premises servers.
New languages: Danish, Finnish, Croatian, Hungarian, Lithuanian, Dutch, Polish, Romanian, Slovak, Swedish, Turkish and Ukrainian.

Bug fixes
ManicTime Server v2025.3 Beta
October 10, 2025
Data Retention (Experimental) - New feature that automatically deletes data older than a chosen time period from both the server and connected clients. This helps organizations comply with GDPR and similar data protection laws by ensuring older records are permanently removed. This feature is still experimental, if you'd like to help us test it, please let us know.
UI Redesign - We continued with UI redesign. Among the biggest changes you will notice in this release is the position of main menu. It has been moved from the top to the left side of the interface, providing a cleaner layout and more consistent navigation experience. We did not have time to make all design changes, so the work will continue in next versions.
Half-Day Leave Support - Some countries support taking half-day leaves and this version adds that capability. Once enabled, users can enter or request half-day leave on "Personal leave" or "Leave calendar".
Windows users have associated email - When ManicTime Server is running with Windows users, it now automatically attempts to retrieve each user's email address from Active Directory. This ensures users have valid email addresses for notifications and reporting. This was necessary feature for the feature below...
Per-User Email Reports - Previously, creating email reports for individual users was cumbersome - administrators had to generate and configure each report to user manually. With this update, administrator can now configure that email report is sent to each user with their own personalized data.
