Overview

Dayflow automatically creates a visual timeline of your day. It records your screen at 1 frame per second and uses AI to analyze activity every 15 minutes, distinguishing between productive research and leisure. Unlike traditional trackers, it provides context-aware summaries without manual tagging. Built for developers, freelancers, and knowledge workers, it operates as an open-source tool (MIT license) available for Mac. Data is stored locally, ensuring privacy, while supporting both local and cloud AI models for analysis.
