    ActivityWatch auto tracks and categorizes activities and is free and open-source, manic time is expensive and may not be as private.

    ManicTime monitors the activities on the computer, Project Hamster does not monitor the programs in the foreground. In addition, every task change must be done manually. Is not the same thing.
