A real timeline, not a timer log

See your day reconstructed

One row per session with the application you were using — plus the current URL and other open tab titles when you're in a supported browser. End-of-day review takes minutes instead of the manual reconstruction that typically drags into Friday afternoons.

Why DayReplay

Built for fragmented workdays

Tunable categorization

Sensible defaults out of the box — browsers, IDEs, mail clients, chat apps all detected. Pro lets you refine that with two kinds of rules:

  • Domain rules for browser activity — linear.app → Planning, github.com → Development
  • Process rules for desktop apps — OUTLOOK.EXE → Communication, code.exe → Development
  • Your own categories & colours — add, rename, and recolour so the timeline reads in your palette

Every session lands in the right bucket, so the timeline reads as project work instead of generic app names.

Passive capture

DayReplay samples the foreground app, window title, and active browser tab every five seconds. There are no timers to start, stop, or remember — context-switching no longer erodes your records.

Browser tab context

Beyond the application name, DayReplay records the active tab's URL and the titles of other open tabs in the focused window. Sessions are grouped by domain so the timeline reads as project work rather than “Chrome, 4 hours.”

Invoice-ready exports

Pro CSV export produces one row per session with start, end, duration, application, domain, and tab list — a structured artifact you can hand to a client or import into a billing system directly.

Local-first storage

Captured activity is stored in a SQLite database under your user profile, with file mode 0600 on macOS. The data does not leave your device; the only outbound network calls are update checks and license validation.

Lightweight license validation

The app verifies your license with Lemon Squeezy on activation, then revalidates at most once every 24 hours in the background. A seven-day offline grace window keeps Pro features available during travel or intermittent connectivity.

One license, both platforms

Native Windows and macOS builds, with the same license key activating on either platform — up to five devices per key. Manage active devices any time from the activation portal in your purchase confirmation email.

Download

Pick your platform

Both builds are self-contained — no .NET runtime install required.

Windows

The direct MSI installer (Windows 10/11, x64) is the full DayReplay experience — Authenticode-signed by Zaahr Inc. via Azure Trusted Signing. SmartScreen may show a one-time reputation warning on early installs until Microsoft Defender accumulates download data; click More info → Run anyway. The Microsoft Store button is also available and skips SmartScreen, but the Store-distributed build is feature-reduced (no in-app Pro upgrade, no in-app updater) per Store policy. See the FAQ for steps and SHA-256 verification.

macOS

Signed & notarized .dmg, macOS 13+ (Apple Silicon). Open the .dmg, drag DayReplay to your /Applications folder (one admin password prompt to copy in), then grant Accessibility when DayReplay asks. Runs as a menu-bar utility, so you won't see a dock icon. One-click uninstall from the in-app Updates dialog, with optional history + Keychain wipe — no Terminal. See the FAQ for details.

Pricing

Pay once, own it forever

Free covers the timeline replay (7-day history), day navigation (← →), the built-in category rules (read-only), and the diagnostics panel. Pro adds 90-day history, custom categories & colours, category-rule editing, and CSV export — as a one-time lifetime license or month to month.

Same license works on Windows and macOS — up to five devices. Compare plans →
