Export Dayflow activity data to markdown transcripts for consumption by Claude or other LLMs.
Generates daily markdown files from Dayflow's SQLite database containing:
- Timeline cards with category, apps/sites, and activity summaries
- Detailed observations with timestamps (when available)
- Screenshot links (sampled, up to 5 per observation period)
- Distractions noted during each activity period
git clone https://github.com/obra/dayflow-export.git
cd dayflow-exportNo dependencies required - uses only Python 3 standard library.
# Export all days not yet exported (incremental)
./dayflow-export /path/to/Dayflow
# Export a specific date
./dayflow-export /path/to/Dayflow --date 2025-12-17
# Export a date range (overwrites existing files)
./dayflow-export /path/to/Dayflow --from 2025-12-14 --to 2025-12-17The Dayflow data directory is typically:
- macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Dayflow
Creates a transcripts/ directory inside your Dayflow data folder:
Dayflow/
├── chunks.sqlite
├── recordings/
│ └── *.jpg
└── transcripts/ # Created by dayflow-export
├── 2025-12-14.md
├── 2025-12-15.md
└── ...
Each markdown file contains the full activity log for that day, with relative links to screenshots in ../recordings/.
