This is what I install on a new computer. Strong preference towards free and open source software. Hand picked.
What is ManicTime?
Track your computer usage and use collected data to accurately tag time. Auto tracking of computer usage (8 languages), during a day average user can switch back and forth between applications more than a 1000 times, which means ManicTime gathers a lot of data. Local storage, powerful statistics: see which applications you use the most or on which web sites you spend the most time. Also easily figure out how much time you spent working on projects to accurately bill your clients or just keep track of your work.
Beware that the Linux and Mac are not full ManicTime Windows ports. They are a tracker, which can send computer usage data to ManicTime Cloud or ManicTime Server, where you can view the reports. It requires you to signup for cloud version or install your own ManicTime Server. The android version uses stopwatch to track your time, send phone calls and stopwatch tags to ManicTime Server.


















Comments and Reviews
Perhaps not the most beautiful program but I always end up coming back to it since it does the job and the interface is actually quite clever. Competing solutions almost always have way too many bells and whistles, especially all kinds of crap involving bigger teams, etc.
Counterintuitive, poor interface, hard to use. Navigation is not good.
Commercial/trial. Not freemium.
It's a great app. I've used quite a few of these, and this is one of the most robust apps for tracking your computer usage. Definitely the most robust and the auto tag works, but I would also recommend Time Studio which looks quite similar, but has AI for autotagging which works decent and cloud sync. It's also free but sometimes has some bugs.
Big fan. I use it in my workplace. I haven't found a better activity tracker.
Perfectly fluent and enjoyable for offline W10. Free version is enough and fast for typical report of tracking used window names over multiple months. Supports web page tracking nicely.
No browser plugins for windows needed. Quite intuitive.
