Story of Your Day
App Usage
todayInsight: Your peak focus window is 10–12 AM — protect it for deep work and defer meetings.
No setup. No timers to start. No manual logging. Rymot works in the background and surfaces patterns you'd never notice on your own.
Download and run the installer. No account, no email, no setup wizard with 12 screens.
Rymot runs quietly in the background. It tracks the apps you use and when you're active or idle — without any input from you.
Within a few hours you'll see your first activity timeline and cognitive heatmap. After a day, focus patterns begin to emerge.
After seven days Rymot generates your first Weekly Intelligence report — where your cognitive energy went and what patterns showed up.
Not a todo app. Not a surveillance tool. Not just a time logger. A system that understands how you work — privately.
Pattern analysis
Rule-based insights
Rymot analyzes uninterrupted work sessions, application switching frequency, idle periods, and historical patterns to surface your real focus windows — no guessing, no manual input.
Illustrative daily pattern
0 bytes
Of activity data uploaded
All data lives in a local SQLite database you fully own. Your activity never uploads anywhere, insights are computed on-device, and no account is ever required.
1-min precision
Idle detection built-in
See exactly how your day unfolded — app by app, minute by minute. Idle detection built in. No manual logging.
Session outcomes
Post-session debrief
Start an intentional session — Pomodoro, Deep Work, or Flow State preset — and get a debrief showing actual active vs idle time, interruptions, and how close you came to your goal.
Daily blocks
Built-in planner
Block out your day around the work patterns you want to build. Create recurring blocks, set intentions, and see how your actual activity compares.
Every Sunday
Auto-generated
Every week Rymot generates a behavioral debrief — where your cognitive energy went, which patterns repeated, and what changed. Auto-generated every Sunday.

there is no server to share it from
Session screenshots — stored locally, never uploaded
Rymot will optionally capture periodic screenshots for your private session review — helping you see exactly what you were working on during each focus block or app session. All images stay on your device. No server. No cloud. Planned as an opt-in premium feature.
Actual screenshots from Rymot Local running on a real workday.
Cognitive Atlas
Your day, replayed — narrative, timeline, and context switches
Insights
Top opportunity, top risk, top win — from your real behavior
Focus Sessions
Intentional deep work with a post-session debrief
Not for enterprise compliance. For individual cognitive performance.
Developers
Track coding depth and context switching. Understand your real output — not just hours logged.
Students
Study smarter. Discover your peak learning windows and eliminate invisible time drains.
Knowledge Workers
Turn awareness into action. Know when you're at your best and protect that time.
Privacy Advocates
No account, no payment details, nothing to sign up for. Your activity data is never uploaded, and analytics are optional.
The free core — tracking, insights, and the Cognitive Atlas — stays free. What comes next goes further: protecting your focus, proving your work, and opening the platform to the community.
One toggle blocks distracting apps and websites — automatically during Deep Focus sessions, or all day when you choose. Native blocking, no browser extension, no VPN tricks.
This is the feature that turns awareness into protection.
Click any app or website and replay its full history — when, how long, in what context. Optional local screenshots attach visual proof to every session, and you can export any time range.
All of it stays on your device. Proof for you — not for anyone else.
An Obsidian-style plugin system: community-built views, exporters, and themes on top of your local database. Your data, your extensions — no gatekeeping.
The plugin API and community hub will always be free.
Rymot learns which project you're working on — not just which app — and connects to the tools you already use, so insights map to the work that actually matters.
Shaped by early-user feedback. Tell us what you'd connect first.
Everything above is planned, not shipped. Premium features will fund development — the core tracker and your data stay free and local, always.
Other tools count hours. Rymot understands work patterns.
