Overview
Dayflow is a Mac app that takes low-frequency screen captures while you work and uses an AI model you choose to turn them into a timeline of what you did. From that it drafts a daily standup with yesterday's highlights, today's tasks and blockers, shows a weekly review of focus and distractions, and answers questions about your day. Recordings and the database stay on your Mac, and analysis can run on a local model. It suits knowledge workers and freelancers who need to account for their time.
It records what you were doing, not just which app was open, so a timeline or standup update is ready without timers or notes.

Good to know
Let Dayflow record your screen activity while you work, then use the timeline it builds to write a standup, a client note or a weekly review. You choose whether a local model or a cloud provider does the analysis.
Limits
- With a cloud provider such as Gemini, ChatGPT or Claude, the activity data needed for analysis is sent to that provider; only a local model keeps the analysis on your Mac.
- According to the Dayflow privacy policy, the app sends anonymous usage analytics, which you can turn off in settings.
