ManicTime Cloud tracks time automatically for every team member in the background. No timers, no manual entries, no chasing people to fill in their timesheets. Set it up once and everyone's time is captured from day one.
Most time tracking tools assume either a solo user or an enterprise with an IT department. Small teams fall in between — and usually end up with half the team tracking inconsistently and the other half not at all.
Small tasks and quick context switches disappear when team members rely on memory at the end of the week. Across a whole team, those missed minutes add up to real lost revenue.
If some team members track carefully and others guess at the end of the week, any project report becomes unreliable. You cannot make billing or planning decisions on data you cannot trust.
Every Friday turns into a reminder loop. The data you finally get is late, incomplete, and reconstructed from memory — so the reports built on it are barely worth running.
Create an account and set up your team workspace in a few minutes. No server to install, no IT department needed — just a sign-up and you are ready to invite your team.
Send invites to your team. Each person installs the ManicTime client on their machine — available for Windows, Mac, and Linux — and their time starts being captured automatically from that moment.
Each person reviews and tags their own time to shared projects. As a manager or team lead, the shared dashboard shows time across the whole team — broken down by project, client, or person — without anyone having to submit anything manually.
Every team member's time is captured automatically in the background. No one needs to remember to start a timer — which means the data is actually there when you need it.
Learn more ->Define which projects and clients exist once, and every team member tags time to the same list. Reports are consistent from day one — no mismatches, no manual cleaning.
Learn more ->Export time reports across the whole team filtered by person, project, client, or date range. Suitable for client billing, internal planning, and project post-mortems.
Learn more ->Schedule automatic email summaries so the team lead always has a weekly overview of where time went — without chasing anyone for their timesheet.
Learn more ->Each person reviews their captured timeline and assigns time to the right project or client. Auto-tagging rules handle recurring patterns automatically.
Learn more ->Team members control what gets tracked in the first place. A tracking schedule limits capture to work hours, and off-the-record mode lets anyone pause tracking instantly.
Learn more ->ManicTime has been tracking time since 2008. Over 1 million downloads, 13,000+ customers, and 200,000+ licenses — many of them small teams, consultancies, and agencies who needed accurate project time without the overhead of an enterprise deployment.
Small teams often discover that the biggest obstacle to useful time data is not tool quality — it is adoption. When nobody has to remember to start or stop a timer, the whole team ends up with complete records. Automatic tracking removes the step that kills adoption in every other tool.
ManicTime Cloud requires no server, no IT involvement, and no configuration beyond client installation. Most small teams are fully operational within a single day.
