Explore DayflowFrequently Asked Questions
Does this website capture my screen?
No. Every product example on this site uses illustrative activity. Opening the browser preview does not install Dayflow or start recording.
What stays on my Mac?
Dayflow’s activity timeline is local-first. Provider analysis and optional hosted features introduce additional data paths; local-first does not mean that all processing stays on the device.
What is sent to an AI provider?
Relevant activity context is sent to the provider selected in Dayflow for analysis. Claude Code and Codex CLI require their own installation and authentication. Provider terms and usage limits apply.
Can I pause recording?
Yes. Capture can be paused in the Mac application. The switch on this site’s privacy overview is only an illustrative control and cannot change recording on your Mac.
How does optional hosted Wiki fit in?
Optional hosted Wiki is cloud-backed and has an offline mirror. Context can sync from the Mac directly to the hosted service; it is not simply an entirely local feature.
Can hosted features use screenshots?
Optional hosted features can upload screenshots and use cloud storage. Review the specific feature and its settings before choosing to use it.
Does grounded chat take actions for me?
The verified chat experience is grounded and read-only. Its purpose is to help you understand activity and follow supporting citations.
Is this a legal privacy policy or certification?
This is a product data-handling overview. It does not establish a legal policy, compliance certification, security audit result, or service commitment.
