Dayflow

What Is Dayflow?

Dayflow is a macOS application in the **Design** category that generates an automatic timeline of user activities by analyzing screen content. It records the screen at low frame rates and processes footage with AI to create concise summaries of daily workflows, fitting into design workflows for time tracking and reflection. Dayflow operates on a freemium pricing model, with core features available for free and potential premium options.

What Dayflow Does

• Records screen content at 1 FPS in 15-second chunks to capture activities with minimal impact on CPU and storage.
• Analyzes footage every 15 minutes using AI models, either cloud-based like Google's Gemini or local models via Ollama or LM Studio.
• Generates timeline cards with semantic summaries of activities, such as app usage and context-aware tasks.
• Displays activities as a visual timeline or timelapse view in a native SwiftUI interface.
• Automatically cleans up storage by deleting recordings older than 3 days.
• Highlights distractions and off-task periods based on activity analysis.

How Dayflow Can Be Used

• Designers review daily screen timelines to identify time spent in tools like Figma or Sketch during project sprints.
• Teams use distraction highlights to analyze workflow interruptions in collaborative design sessions.
• Freelance designers track client project phases by exporting timeline data for billing or progress reports.
• Developers integrating design handoffs examine timelapses to reconstruct UI iteration processes.
• Individuals reflect on workdays by querying the dashboard for trends in design tool usage over time.
