What Calliday is

Calliday is a paid macOS app that records activity across apps, windows, websites, and documents, then creates daily summaries. It captures activity second by second and handles idle periods without manual timers. Rules can sort new or existing activity into projects using names, globs, subdomains, or regular expressions. Timelines and project reports support exports, billable rates, and printable invoices or spreadsheets. AI options include on-device Apple Intelligence, personal Claude, Gemini, or GPT keys, plus other OpenAI-compatible servers. A local MCP server lets Claude Desktop or Claude Code query tracked time and focus metrics. Integrations include Raycast, a command-line tool, calendar meeting logging, and Claude through MCP. Activity history stays on the Mac without an account, activity server, or telemetry. Optional sync uses the user’s cloud folder with AES-256 encrypted files. Pro can exclude selected apps, sites, window titles, and incognito browsing. macOS 14 or newer is required.
