There are many ways to export the data from ManicTime. You can:
- export all data by timelines from Tools -> Export. Keep in mind that if you select a big date range (a year or more worth of data) this could be a lengthy process and a big file.
- Shift or Ctrl select lines at the bottom left of day view. Then copy and paste to some other app like Excel.
- export data from Advanced search.
- export data from Timesheet.
- export data and images from Statistics.
- export data using command line interface
- get all data from ManicTime server via services
Exports from Tools and settings → Export also contain additional tracked properties when the exported timeline has them: remote client address, virtual desktop, workplace, Git repository, and Git branch. They are added automatically, there is no separate option to turn them on. A field is empty if that property was not tracked for the selected activity.
For direct database access, open the database folder from Tools and settings → Advanced → Open DB folder. Current versions store data in the SQLite files ManicTimeCore.db and ManicTimeReports.db. Close ManicTime and work on a copy of the files with a SQLite viewer. Prefer the export options above for a stable data format; the internal database schema can change between releases.
