## 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.

## What Dayflow Does

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

| Feature | How it works | Why it's useful |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Automatic timeline | Dayflow captures lightweight screen chunks, analyzes them with your chosen AI provider, and turns the day into activity cards. | You get an accurate work journal without starting timers or writing notes. |
| Context-aware summaries | It looks at what you were actually doing on screen, not just which app was active. | Cursor, Chrome, YouTube, or Slack become meaningful work context instead of vague app usage. |
| Daily standup | Dayflow pulls yesterday's highlights, today's tasks, and blockers from your timeline. | You can write updates in minutes and stop relying on memory. |
| Chat with your work journal | Ask natural-language questions about your timeline and recent activity. | You can recover details, explain where time went, and turn raw activity into useful answers. |
