I have been using Linux for a few years now. I don't think of any applications I miss from when I used to use windows other than ManicTime. I miss it every single day.

The best thing I can find for Linux (Hamster) simply does not come close to ManicTime. I just had to come here and let you know how awesome this thing is in comparison. I stopped using it just before it got a Pro version I think, but I haven't stopped wishing it worked on Linux. I know you don't have any plans to make a Linux or Mac version any time soon and it would be a lot of work. But I just wanted to say I miss you ManicTime! You rock!

Yes you are right, good memory! I did not like Vista too much. I think its probably a bit better these days but it's still windows.

It had such an impact because being able to just start working and not having to worry about starting my timer or stopping it or even worrying about what I was working on or for who I was working for was just awesome. Being able to come back later and tagging things... it's perfect! There is nothing better. At least not that I can find anyway and I did look for quite some time. Once I got so used to using ManicTime and then not having it nearly makes me want to start using windows again.

Linux is great, works perfect for me for doing web development and whatnot. Using Fedora at the moment but I tried all sorts of different distros until I settled on this one.

It's exciting to hear you might make a Linux version! I would pay double the price for it. I missed ManicTime so much I even started trying to make something myself but didn't get too far. I made something to recognize window titles and whatnot. It only worked in KDE at the time which I don't even use now and I gave up on it pretty quickly. But it did actually track the window titles and store them in a database with the time. So it is possible at least. I don't know if it would have worked in gnome or other environments or not but maybe.

Depending upon what kind of access you need to your linux env, as a stopgap, maybe you (the wanting linux users) could use ManicTime from a separate Windows box which serves as little more than an X Windows Server terminal.

I'm assuming that there is some Windows X-Server that will properly convey the window titles of your various remote linux application to the Windows desktop. Combined with the window title parsing capability in ManicTime, you may even be able to extract some "Document" info. It would also not seem to be limited to use on Linux, but SunOS, HP, whatever.

Aesthetically displeasing as I'm sure it would be, maybe even from a unix-based Mac, too? :)
