Journal & Activity

The Journal & Activity system captures your desktop context throughout the day (active apps, window titles, opt-in screenshots, and derived daily summaries) so you can reconstruct what you worked on and generate timesheets.

Platform note: on Linux, screenshots and input-density metrics (keystroke and mouse counts, tracked duration, and focused duration) are not collected, so those numbers in your tracker always read zero. Active app names and daily summaries still work.

Where to Find It

• Open the main Snipset window → Journal in the left sidebar.
• The page shows pages of journal entries with search, pagination, date filtering, style selection, language options, and activity summaries.

How It Works

• Activity Runtime: Enable, disable, or pause tracking from enable_activity_runtime / disable_activity_runtime / pause_activity_runtime. Status via get_activity_runtime_status.
• Screenshots (opt-in, Windows only): Pending screenshots are stored locally; generate thumbnails via get_screenshot_thumbnail. Pin important contexts with pin_activity_context. Linux builds never record a screenshot, so there is nothing to thumbnail.
• Daily Summaries: Trigger generation via trigger_journal_generation / generate_journal_now. Entries are stored locally and searchable via get_journal_entries. Click any entry card to view the full narrative recap with options to copy, edit, or delete.

Corrections & Privacy

• Submit corrections with submit_journal_correction; edit or delete entries via update_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 via export_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 (activity tables).
