A clear guide to local timeline storage, provider analysis, and optional hosted features.
The timeline starts on your Mac.
Dayflow stores its timeline locally on your Mac. That is an important part of the product, but it does not mean every feature runs entirely offline.
Analysis uses a provider.
Dayflow supports Claude Code and Codex CLI using an existing account. Relevant activity information is sent to the selected provider for processing, under that provider’s terms and usage limits.
Hosted features are a separate consideration.
Optional hosted features can upload screenshots and use cloud storage. Pro Wiki is cloud-backed and includes an offline mirror. An offline mirror is not the same as exclusively local storage.
Make an informed choice.
Before capturing sensitive work, consider both the capture itself and the processing destinations. Pause capture where needed, and review the requirements that apply to your work.
