ManicTime for Linux records computer usage, applications, window titles, and supported browser URLs and documents. View the recorded timelines and tag time in connected Cloud or Server. The Linux app has a tray icon and an Away window for tagging away time, but no local Day view. On Wayland, available tracking depends on the desktop environment; see ManicTime on Wayland.
Browser URLs
To include visited URLs in the Documents timeline, install and enable the matching ManicTime browser extension. For Chrome and supported Chromium-based browsers, use the ManicTime URL Tracker for Chrome. The Firefox extension also supports Zen, Waterfox, LibreWolf, and Floorp. If ManicTime records the browser application but not its URLs, check that the extension is active.
Files and Git context
When a document tracker supplies a full file path, ManicTime can detect its Git repository and branch. This information is sent with the tracked document and can be viewed in Cloud or Server. A document without a full local path will not have Git context.
Screenshots
If an administrator manages your client through Cloud or Server, the screenshot format can be set to JPEG, PNG, or WebP in Client settings. The selected format applies to newly captured screenshots. For capture requirements on Wayland, see Screenshot tracking.
