Everything about Daylens.

Getting Started

Daylens starts working without setup because the point is to see what your day actually looked like, not to spend the first hour configuring categories. Download it, open it, and let it watch. By the end of the day you will have a timeline of named work blocks, session detail, and a clearer picture of where your attention went.

The Timeline

The timeline is the answer to a more useful question than Screen Time asks. Not which apps were open, but what you were actually doing. Daylens watches your apps and browser activity natively, detects when the work shifts, and turns the day into labeled blocks that read like real sessions.

A block like "Tax Filing and Email" or "Mixed Development and Research Work" is not something you typed in. It came from analyzing the evidence of the session itself, so the timeline feels closer to memory than to a raw activity log.

Session Detail

Click any block and the rough picture turns precise. This is where Daylens moves past "you spent time in this app" and shows what was really inside the session.

• The sites and pages that were open, with time spent on each
• Primary and supporting apps inside the session
• Context switches detected while the work was unfolding
• The AI-generated explanation of what the block was actually about

Context switches are counted every time the active tab or window changes. A high switch count usually means the work was fragmented, research-heavy, or both. That gap between effort and output is often sitting right there in the switch count.

Stats and Focus Score

The stats view compresses the day into the numbers that matter most: total active time, category allocation, switching behavior, and whether the day felt calmer or more fragmented than usual.

The focus score is based on your own switching behavior relative to your own history. It is not judging you against some external benchmark. It is measuring whether this day was more scattered or more settled than your normal.

The intelligence insight reads the actual shape of the day and surfaces one thing worth noticing. It is not a generic productivity tip generator. It is grounded in what Daylens saw happen.

AI Analysis

The AI layer is not a separate mode you have to turn on. It runs on every completed block automatically, building the understanding that makes the timeline useful in the first place.

It distinguishes primary tools from supporting ones, spots when you were researching versus actively building, and names the session from the evidence instead of from a template. The goal is to make the product already understand the shape of your day before you ask anything.

Insights Chat

The Insights tab is where the tracked history becomes queryable. Ask questions in plain language across any day, week, or custom range without having to reconstruct your context from scratch.

Answers are grounded in your actual activity data, and follow-up questions keep the thread alive. That is the broader direction of Daylens: help that starts with the picture already in view instead of making you relay it manually every time.

Web Companion

The web companion lets you view your Daylens data from any device — your phone, a tablet, another computer.

Privacy and Data

Daylens is built around a simple rule: the default is local. The product is meant to explain your work, not quietly export your life.

AI analysis and the Insights chat send session metadata to process queries. This data is your activity summary (app names, site titles, durations) — not the content of pages or files.
