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.

Pretty nice. How does it handle multiple displays? I've set it up with local Ollama, and it seems to only record and analyze one of my two secondary displays. It would be ideal if I can select which one is used if the recording is limited to a single display, or even better if it can record and analyze the entire multi-monitor desktop surface. edit Nvm, it seems it always records the display that is currently in focu…

Yep, you figured out how it works! That was the easiest solution I could come up with. I'm sure theres additional context on other screens but this was a good 90/10 solution.

Similar Idea to screenpipe. That gives you more customization: github.com/mediar-ai/screenpipe

screenpipe founder here, love to see more products in this area, ideally OSS, local, no lock in, API/MCP friendly kind of sad it's macos only, i'm mostly windows user now :)

side effect of working for enterprise customers. congrats on the fund raise.

This is amazing and yet I think it would need an existential angst mode to capture those days when I am doing video calls with various teams all day.

Maybe patching https://github.com/JerryZLiu/Dayflow/blob/main/Dayflow/Dayfl... to say "Describe what you seen in this computer screen in the style of Werner Herzog" would do it...

Earlier quoted context omitted.

If I had to put a grade on my own experience and evals, Gemini 2.5 pro produces A- results and qwen2.5vl is maybe like B-/C+. Obviously everything's nondetermistic, so it's hard to guarantee a level of quality. I'm reading through papers that suggest it should be possible to get SOTA performance on local models via distillation, and that's what I'll experiment with next.

Any insights on qwen-3 omni yet?

Looks awesome, but a 30B model is too big. Vast majority of people probably have 32GB of RAM or less unfortunately.

I've used https://github.com/ActivityWatch/activitywatch before on Linux, it's actually quite good but takes a fair bit of fiddling to get good results.

There's no plugin for screenshot or recording in 1fps.

Yeah, but it's written in a modular way and extending it is not as painful as one would expect. I actually went that way and wrote a couple of custom watchers for things like that.
