Dayflow

A private, automatic work journal for Mac.

Dayflow understands the work you do on your Mac and turns it into a clear timeline of your day. Built from the ground up for privacy, it’s open source, local-first, and can run entirely with local AI.

Automatic Timeline

Dayflow turns raw screen activity into a chronological timeline of what you actually did, so you can reconstruct the day without timers or manual notes.

Daily Standup

See a GitHub-style activity grid of your day, plus yesterday's highlights, today's priorities, and blockers, so you can walk into standup with the update already written.

Weekly Review

See your week at a glance: when you were focused, where time went, which apps dominated, and what pulled you off track.

Chat With Your Work Journal

Ask questions about your day/week/year and get answers grounded in your timeline instead of digging through notes, screenshots, or memory.

What Dayflow Does

Dayflow runs quietly on your Mac and builds a useful record of your day from your screen activity.

Why People Use It

Most time trackers tell you which app was open. Dayflow tries to understand what you were doing.

Cursor for two hours could mean shipping a feature, debugging auth, reviewing a PR, or getting lost in setup. Dayflow gives you the context, not just the window title.

Privacy

Dayflow is local-first and open source.
