Daily 1.2.0

Daylens is now Daily — a new name, a new sun, and two new ways to look back on your day. Free, no account, everything stays on your PC.

New

• Replay — your day as chapters: what you worked on, which apps, and the windows you saw, so you can backtrack to anything you did.
• The Island — a small pill at the top of the screen with today's total. It speaks up for moments worth knowing (you keep going back to the same app, a new personal best, your report is ready), and you can tap a follow-up question that the on-device model answers. It steps aside for full-screen apps and calls.
• Screenshots for Replay — optional and off by default. Saved only on your PC and erased after 1, 7 or 30 days.

Upgrading from Daylens

Run Daily-Setup.exe. It upgrades Daylens in place and moves your history across; nothing is lost.

Install

Download Daily-Setup.exe below. The installer isn't code-signed yet, so Windows may say it protected your PC — choose More info → Run anyway.

Windows 10 (1903+) or 11, 64-bit.

Daylens 1.0.1

A small update to Daylens with real app icons, a clearer startup choice and a few layout fixes.

Download

Daylens-Setup-1.0.1.exe (below). Run it over 1.0.0 to update in place; your history and settings are kept.

The installer isn't code-signed yet, so Windows may show "Windows protected your PC". Choose More info → Run anyway.

What's new

• Real app icons. The Today cards, Reports and Insights show each app's actual icon instead of coloured initials.
• Start with Windows, asked up front. The last onboarding step now has a Start Daylens when Windows starts switch (still on by default, and still in Settings → Tracking).

Fixes

• Today's bar in the weekly chart no longer shows as an empty outlined pill early in the day.
• The 7-day trend on the Today screen no longer shows a horizontal scrollbar.
• The time on each Today card is back to a centred pill instead of an off-centre circle.

Daylens 1.0.0

The first release of Daylens — a private, on-device companion for Windows that shows where your screen time goes, writes you daily and weekly reports, and nudges you toward healthier habits.

Download

Daylens-Setup-1.0.0.exe (below) — one-click install, just for you, no admin rights needed.

The installer isn't code-signed yet, so Windows may show "Windows protected your PC". Choose More info → Run anyway.

Requirements: Windows 10 (1903+) or 11, 64-bit. Optional on-device models download on first use (Laya ≈ 1.7 GB, writer ≈ 1.1–2.5 GB); 8 GB RAM or more recommended for on-device reports.

What's in 1.0.0

Understand your day

• Automatic tracking of apps and windows, grouped into Work, Learning, Communication, Entertainment, Social and Other
• Today view with a timeline, daily goal, 7-day trend and a screen health score
• Optional on-device screen understanding (text only, never screenshots) with the Laya classifier

Reports

• Daily report and weekly Insights, written on your PC (Qwen3 4B / 1.7B) or in the cloud with your own API key
• Search past reports, export or auto-save PDFs, draft an email in one click

Coaching, breaks and reminders

• Pop-ups for eye breaks, stretching, wind-down, doom-scrolling and goals — held during calls, full-screen video and focus blocks
• Water, lunch, tea and dinner reminders, plus up to 20 of your own
• Hand-drawn animated break screens that play for the length of each break

Travel

• Follows your Windows time zone automatically; travel mode with a short jet-lag plan after a 3+ hour jump

Privacy

• Everything stays on your PC: no account, no analytics. Export or delete all activity any time.
• The cloud writer is off unless you add your own key, and never receives screen text.

Uninstalling

Use Settings → Apps. You'll be asked whether to also delete your history and downloaded models — the default keeps them.
