Would be helpful to have a screenshot test tool alongside the api test tool. The app didn't create an application support folder yet. Possibly not enough time has passed but would be great to be able to troubleshoot sooner.

Thanks, yeah I do need to flesh out the debugging options. In the menu bar you can click the Dayflow icon which should allow you to view the recordings folder. The sqlite db is in that folder too if you want to poke around there as well.

Thank you! I can see that now. Checked, I have recordings. The SQLite seems to have very little data, despite recordings being present, and no cards show up in app. Possibly an LM Studio issue. I'll fiddle around with it and send an email if I can't get it working. Will test with Ollama in case there's some LMStudio error the API tester isn't catching.

This is the error I got: reason: No valid observations generated from frame fallback

Great project! I’ve had a similar experience with Rewind and the related privacy concerns. A quick thought: if I recall correctly, Rewind performs OCR locally, so it only needs to send textual data. Since you’re focusing on macOS, you could rely on VNRecognizeTextRequest and skip the extra OCR complexity. It might also help to detect and mask sensitive information with lightweight models (e.g., BERT), especially when…

Woah didn't know about VNRecognizeTextRequest, that's super cool thanks for flagging!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

One of my first ever bug reports, was a submission to a company that made legal software. In particular, it was a document management system built as a plugin for MS Outlook. (ew) Most users, had no issue. However for one user, a lawyer, in particular, she would open and close a bunch of documents (using the built in pdf viewer) and then the application would crash, taking outlook with it, often requiring a restart.…

Were they porn-themed golf games, or golf-themed porn games? This is an important distinction.

Digging deep in to my memory, I recall that the user had at least one instance of Strip Putt Putt. I cant conceive of how that answers your question but its the best I can do.

Nicely done.

Funny enough, I had a similar idea a few weeks back; I jotted it down in my idea sketchpad. It felt a bit ambitious for an open-source side project, and I wasn't sure if it could even work with a local LLM. I was genuinely excited about it, nonetheless.

Now that I know it's totally viable, I've got even more reasons to build a Linux version myself.

You should sell this to Lawyers and other professionals who bill per hour to reconstruct their billables for the day without missing anything. They would pay big money for something that recovered forgotten(unbilled) work throughout the day.

I'm a litigation legal admin - I have been for 25-30 years. I instantly brought this up to an associate, telling them, "Maybe not now, but before you retire, this'll be the norm in the industry."

She had been complaining the day before about having to reconstruct a huge bunch of little 0.1 entries involving e-mails to various individuals in cases. If it could be done automatically, through a local LLM? chef's kiss

Trust me, law is definitely where you want to land this thing.

In all honesty, I have absolutely no negotiating power or decision-making authority for my firm, but it's a big one -- if that's a direction you want to go, can't guaranty I can swing enough weight, but I probably could find you the right people to talk to, give you an introduction.

I'll also have to add, though, that you'd have to figure out a way for it to be cross-platform or live outside just macOS. Unfortunately, that's a very uncommon choice in the legal world (or anywhere else).

I've been using today and it seems like it's using 1 euro of credit per hour, is this normal ? Seems a bit expensive. I'm not running the trial of Gemini anymore. Would be nice to detect when there's no mouse movements / keyboard activity and stop recording in those case. And also stop recording when a media player is at fullscreen.

Wow this is awesome! Wish I could try this on Windows. This is genuinely one of few time tracking solutions that piqued my interest. For now, I'll stick to manual labeling activities with my custom, simple tool: https://github.com/Klaster1/timer-5

my custom simple tool is a stopwatch on a phone ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
