Journal & Activity
Capture daily context, timelines, screenshots, and corrections for your work.
The Journal & Activity system captures your desktop context throughout the day — active apps, window titles, screenshots (opt-in), and derived daily summaries — so you can reconstruct what you worked on and generate timesheets.
Where to Find It
- Open the main Snipset window → Journal in the left sidebar.
- The page shows pages of journal entries with search, pagination, pinned contexts, and pending screenshots.
How It Works
- Activity Runtime — Enable/disable/pause from
enable_activity_runtime/disable_activity_runtime/pause_activity_runtime. Status viaget_activity_runtime_status. - Screenshots (opt-in) — Pending screenshots are stored locally; generate thumbnails via
get_screenshot_thumbnail. Pin important contexts withpin_activity_context. - Daily Summaries — Trigger generation via
trigger_journal_generation/generate_journal_now. Entries are stored locally and searchable viaget_journal_entries.
Corrections & Privacy
- Submit corrections with
submit_journal_correction; edit or delete entries viaupdate_journal_entry/delete_journal_entry. - Privacy shields redact sensitive detector hits before storage (
database/privacy.rs,sensitive_detector). - Clear all history via
clear_all_activity_history(requires confirmation). Export a timesheet viaexport_activity_timesheet.
Settings
- Journal language & tone are stored as preferences (
journal_language,journal_tone). Configure under Settings → General & Desktop or the Journal page header. - No cloud upload is involved — everything is local SQLite (
activitytables).
Tip: Pin a context (e.g. a client project) to keep it at the top of the Journal for quick reference.
