Dayflow

What it does

Watches what happens on screen and builds a timeline of what you actually worked on, so you can reconstruct a day without timers or manual notes, and see at a glance where a week went. You can also ask questions about your own history and get answers grounded in the timeline. It is local-first and can run entirely on a local model. Mac only, and because it captures the screen continuously it will also capture password prompts and anyone visible in a video call - check your employer's rules before using it.
