Private Work Memory For Mac

DaySpire for Mac: reviewed time, meeting notes, and answers.

DaySpire turns the activity and evidence you choose to capture into reviewed time, meeting minutes, and a searchable memory of your workday — with AI that runs on your Mac, so work content stays off DaySpire servers.

Inside The App

Your day, already sorted. You just approve.

The Review surface as it works on your Mac: captured time grouped into suggested blocks with confidence and evidence, one click from your ledger.

Illustrative recreation of the Review surface. Names and projects are examples.

How It Works

Three steps. The first one is just working.

DaySpire stays out of the way while you work, then hands you the finished result for review.

01

Work like normal

Choose when DaySpire can sample permitted work context, record a meeting, or accept evidence. Capture is visible, privacy controlled, and pausable from the menu bar.

02

Review in minutes

On-device AI drafts your day into project time blocks with confidence and evidence. You approve, fix, or discard — nothing counts until you say so.

03

Report & ask

Export client-ready timesheets and invoices from approved entries, or just ask: "What did I ship last week?" — answered locally, with citations.

Capture Boundary

Know exactly what DaySpire can see.

Your meetings, notes, and client work are sensitive — so DaySpire keeps them on your Mac instead of asking you to trust a cloud policy. It starts metadata-first: screen content, microphone use, and evidence retention require explicit user action inside the app. Full details live in the privacy & trust documentation.

Data type Default Optional Leaves Mac?
App/window metadata No Collected with optional screen summaries, or as metadata-only meeting-detection probes; exclusions apply No
Raw keystrokes No No No
Clipboard contents No No No
Meeting audio No Start/import manually, or approve a detected meeting when DaySpire asks No
Screen summaries No Opt-in, visible, privacy controlled No
License metadata Trial is local License-only account check Only activation data
Calm By Design

Four surfaces. One question away from everything else.

The app opens with just Today, Review, Meetings, and Reports. Ask DaySpire (⌘K) answers questions, explains features, and does the work for you — every advanced surface stays one tap away under More.

01

Today

Your day at a glance: what was captured, what needs review, and the next best action.

02

Review

Approve, edit, or discard suggested time blocks — with confidence scores and evidence attached.

03

Meetings

Start or import a recording manually, or let DaySpire detect a live meeting and ask — no meeting audio is captured until you approve. Transcription, speaker names, minutes, decisions, and tasks stay local.

04

Reports

Client-ready timesheets and invoices, exported only from entries you approved.

⌘K

Ask DaySpire

Ask what you worked on, how a feature works, or tell it to approve, export, and file for you. It proposes; you confirm.

Search, Projects, Calendar, Tasks, Notes, Focus, Evidence, Insights, Privacy, and Settings — nothing removed, just out of the way.

How does DaySpire stack up?

Compared with the main categories of tools people use for time, notes, and meetings. Based on publicly available product information as of mid-2026 — capabilities vary by product and change over time.

Wikis are great at notes and timers are great at clocks — DaySpire is built to review, understand, and report the work context you choose to keep on your Mac.

Technical Operations FAQ

Architected for a visible local data boundary.

How DaySpire balances useful macOS work memory with a clear local processing boundary.

Does any meeting audio or transcript ever leave my Mac?

DaySpire's runtime meeting intelligence uses bundled local transcription and local speaker identification. Audio recordings, transcripts, summaries, and task extractions are processed on your device, so work content stays off DaySpire servers.

How are my files and databases secured?

Your daily timeline, window activity counts, meeting transcripts, and project indices are written directly to an encrypted local database. Access keys are managed safely inside the macOS Keychain. The database attaches directly inside your app’s user container path and is invisible to other user accounts.

What does local-first mean in practice?

DaySpire is built so that work content stays on your machine. There are no runtime cloud AI calls for transcripts, screenshots, notes, project context, or approved time entries.

What macOS permissions does the app use?

DaySpire asks for each permission when a feature needs it and works in a reduced mode if you decline. Accessibility reads app and window titles for time review and meeting detection. Microphone is used when you start or approve a meeting or room recording, or invoke voice search — meeting detection can be automatic, but meeting audio never starts automatically. Screen Recording supports optional screen summaries, deliberate screenshot evidence, visible-attendee extraction, and system audio during a recording you started or approved; if already granted, it can also provide a meeting-detection fallback. Calendar (optional) links meetings to projects. Watched-folder access covers only folders you add. DaySpire never monitors raw keystrokes or clipboard contents, and projects you mark as highly sensitive have screenshots disabled by default.

Does DaySpire record meetings automatically?

No. DaySpire can detect that a live meeting is happening and may store a metadata-only detection probe, but it never starts meeting-audio recording on its own. When meeting detection is enabled, it asks first — a notification with a “Record this meeting” button and an in-app prompt appear, and no meeting audio or transcript is captured until you choose to record. If the meeting ends before you answer, the request is withdrawn. Approved recordings show a visible recording indicator, can be stopped with one click, and stay on your Mac.

Is my license verification offline-safe?

Yes. DaySpire license keys contain signed tokens that the native application validates locally. Online account checks are license-only, and offline codes are available for secure zones.

Requirements & Setup

What DaySpire needs, honestly.

The app itself is small. The private AI that makes it useful is not — and it lives on your disk, not on a server.

Mac

Compatibility

Apple Silicon (M1 or later), at least 16 GB of RAM, and macOS 14 Sonoma or newer. Intel Macs are not supported.

Disk

App + on-device AI

The app is a 39 MB download. Private AI setup downloads about 12 GB of on-device models only when you choose Install, with pause, resume, and cancel in Settings. Plan for about 13 GB of free disk space for the models plus your local database.

Ready

Before models finish

Activity capture, projects, review, and manual time entry work right away. Meeting transcription, minutes, and Ask DaySpire unlock as their model packs finish downloading.

Ask

Permissions, when needed

Accessibility for app/window titles and meeting detection; Microphone for recordings you start or approve and voice search you invoke; Screen Recording for optional summaries, deliberate evidence, visible attendees, approved-meeting system audio, or an already-authorized detection fallback; Calendar optional. Each permission is feature-gated and revocable.
