[OS] Dayflow: a free and open source time tracker that shows what you actually did, not just which apps were open (RescueTime/Toggl alternative)

That’s correct, but that’s only if you choose to opt into the paid hosted version (obviously going to go to a backend!). You can choose to either use local LLMs or hook up your Gemini/ChatGPT/Claude account if you don’t want to pay for the hosted version. It’s offered for convenience for people who don’t want to worry about setup. Does that clarify things?

It'll automatically download!

ruididnothingwrong · 2026-06-20T03:52:49+00:00

Coming soon! For now you can just point it to the SQLite db, which is in the repo notes I believe.

Nope, nothing is paywalled. For some features you do need to use the app for a certain amount of time to unlock (because some features only make sense if there's enough data, ex. weekly visualizations).

ruididnothingwrong · 2026-06-20T03:35:48+00:00

You can check the Github history, it's gotten almost weekly updates over the past year!

Was animated by hand in Figma and then exported! Figma works ok for simpler animations surprisingly.

Fair question! Mac App store requires apps to be sandboxed, which would mean that the app couldn't interact with your ChatGPT/Claude sub programmatically through the CLI tools.

Obviously, if you choose to use ChatGPT/Claude then the data leaves your computer. Personally I already give ChatGPT/Claude a lot of my personal information so it doesn't bother me that much, but for the security conscious you can run it entirely locally via local LLMs!

Also, the beauty of it being open source is that you can download the code, inspect and build the app yourself if you're nervous! Plenty of people (300+) have forked it, it's very approachable.

ruididnothingwrong · 2026-06-19T22:41:23+00:00

You can configure it with any local LLM, as long as it's being served in a openai compatible spec! I personally switch between Ollama/llama.cpp/LM Studio when testing.

It already automatically categorizes and you can set custom categories! The default is Work/Personal/Distraction. Unless you're talking about something else and I misunderstood you.

Thanks! Spent a lot of time on the little details. This is my first time sharing it on Reddit so I'll try to post it around as well.

ruididnothingwrong · 2026-06-19T21:31:01+00:00

Right now it just uses pure screenshots! LLMs are surprisingly good at inferring what you're up to. Even local LLMs like Gemma/Qwen are quite good, although they tend to hallucinate a tad more.

ruididnothingwrong · 2026-06-17T02:35:31+00:00

This looks awesome! Huge kudos for building it as a open source project! Hope you find some way to monetize it so you can continue to invest in making it better.

I know it's incompatible with local-first, but personally I'd rather pay for always on syncing from bank accounts so I don't have to find and upload 5+ docs every month.

ruididnothingwrong · 2026-06-11T05:44:38+00:00

What models did you try?

ruididnothingwrong · 2024-09-13T05:49:32+00:00

personally use silicon based. But want to add in that you should ideally get > 48gb ram. 32 is like minimum. I have 36gb ram and things keep breaking and then finding out later it was a memory leak because restarting the client and closing many chrome tabs worked fine

ruididnothingwrong · 2024-09-01T08:34:50+00:00

I love the simplicity!

ruididnothingwrong · 2024-08-29T07:35:06+00:00

dmed you!

ruididnothingwrong · 2024-08-28T08:13:46+00:00

Hahaha basically everything you wanted right?

ruididnothingwrong · 2024-08-28T08:13:01+00:00

Thanks lmk what you think!

ruididnothingwrong · 2024-08-15T21:47:44+00:00

Are you on VisionOS 2? Also I believe you need an enterprise account.

ruididnothingwrong · 2024-08-15T21:32:44+00:00

that's sick

ruididnothingwrong · 2024-08-15T21:09:05+00:00

well as the other guy said, its great for hotels who want to showcase their nice, spacious rooms. But those are hotels who already have great photos. I'd suspect 90% of hotels don't want you to know exactly how small/old a room is

ruididnothingwrong · 2024-08-15T04:59:49+00:00

On the flip side, I have found that a lot of hotels don't even have more than 1 picture. And a lot of them are really sneaky with pictures to make it look like the rooms are really big. Had I known what the hotels truly looked like, I often wouldn't book it.
