What is Dayflow?

Dayflow is an automatic time tracker and work journal for Mac. It runs quietly in the background and turns your day into a visual timeline, so you can see where your time went without starting timers, writing notes, or tagging apps.

Dayflow groups work into activity cards and creates daily and weekly summaries. You can search and chat with your work history, review focused and distracted time, and export summaries as Markdown. It uses periodic screenshots to understand context, rather than recording continuous video.

Your timeline, recordings, and app data are stored locally. Analysis can run on-device with Ollama or LM Studio, through your own AI provider, or through optional Dayflow Pro processing. Pro deletes screenshots after processing.

Dayflow is a native SwiftUI app for macOS 14 or later. The Mac app is free and open source under the MIT license.
