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

    WorkPuls is more precise and stable. Although I was satisfied with ManicTime as monitoring solution, I couldn't cope with often stop of responding and data loss.

    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.
