Managing a team requires more than just goals and deadlines — it requires insight. You need to know how time is spent, where it's being lost, and how to help your team work more effectively.
ManicTime gives you the tools to manage based on real data, not estimates. Whether you're leading a small team or managing across departments, ManicTime helps you guide performance without micromanaging.
Productivity and Categories
Each website and application can be assigned a productivity level (e.g., productive, unproductive) and a category (e.g., communication, development).
You can view company-wide productivity scores, compare individuals or teams, and understand what types of work take up the most time.
Overtime
ManicTime allows you to set required work time for the company or individual users. Once configured, it will automatically calculate overtime.
You can set different requirements per user, see who consistently works overtime, and identify overload or underperformance trends.
Track Time on Projects
With accurate tagging and timeline data, it’s easy to see how much work has gone into a project — and who contributed.
This helps with accurate billing, project status reporting, and internal resource planning.
Late Arrivals & Early Leaves
You can define expected start and end times for your team. ManicTime then shows who arrives late, who leaves early, and patterns that emerge over days or weeks.
This helps reinforce accountability without manually checking timesheets.
Detailed View of Team Activity
ManicTime tracks each activity down to the second — including which applications, websites, and documents were used. Optionally, it can also take screenshots at regular intervals.
What gets tracked is fully configurable: you can enable or disable screenshots, limit tracking to specific hours, restrict tracking to certain applications, or even choose to track only computer usage (active vs. away) and nothing else.
This level of detail is ideal for managers who want complete visibility. Whether you’re managing freelancers, junior team members, or remote staff, you’ll have access to all the information needed to supervise effectively.
Accurate and Easy Timekeeping on Tasks
Your team members can accurately tag their time to specific tasks or activities. Thanks to timelines and autotags, most of this can be automated.
Manual tagging is fast, visual, and user-friendly — reducing the friction of traditional timekeeping.
Remote Work Tracking
ManicTime can track time across different locations. Use location-based insights to compare productivity at home versus in the office, or in the field versus headquarters.
You’ll clearly see how work environments affect focus and performance.
Work Summary Emails
ManicTime can automatically send performance summaries via email on a daily, weekly, monthly or yearly basis. These reports can be delivered for individuals, teams, or the entire company. Each summary includes total time worked, productivity scores, and any logged overtime — giving stakeholders a quick snapshot of performance without needing to log in.
Integration with Other Systems
ManicTime integrates with the tools your team already uses:
- Jira
- Azure DevOps
- Scoro
- FreshBooks
- Asana
- Harvest
- QuickBooks
- ConnectWise PSA
Import tasks directly into ManicTime so your team can tag work without duplication. Keep project tracking unified and effortless.
Full Control and Access to Your Data
ManicTime offers two deployment options: a fast, cloud-based setup that gets you up and running quickly, or an on-premise installation where you keep all your data on your own servers. The on-premise option gives you full compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, and client confidentiality requirements by keeping everything under your control.
You also get unrestricted access to all your data. Export it to Excel, connect it to BI tools like Power BI or Tableau, or build your own reports and dashboards. There are no limitations — you stay in full control, with full visibility.
Final Thought
ManicTime helps you lead with insight, not oversight. From tracking productivity to managing attendance and overtime, you’ll have the data you need to guide your team — while keeping control of your systems and protecting your company’s data.
