DailyTrace
Daily life, clearly seen.
Record activities in a tap, use calendar events as a reference, and look back through timelines, heatmaps, and shareable summaries. Your records stay on your device.
CALENDAR-ASSISTED RECORDING
Your plans, beside your records
Choose which calendars appear on Home. Tap an event to prefill a past record, review the times, and select an activity before saving. Or use its play button to choose an activity and start timing now.
Events stay unchanged. DailyTrace does not classify or record them automatically. If you stop or switch a timer by mistake, Undo on Home restores the original timer.
Calendar access only lets DailyTrace read events. They are read on your device and never uploaded, and you can change calendars or turn the feature off in Settings. Privacy Policy
