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.
