Recap
A daily work summary, written from your own day
Recap turns your checked-off to-dos, calls and dictations into a standup summary on your Mac, and asks about anything it isn’t sure you did.

Plan: Recap, Pro
This week’s recap: a short summary, then Definitely did, Might have done and On your list.
Sources
Built from your to-dos, calls, dictations and calendar.
What you checked off counts as done. Everything else it guessed waits for your answer.
Fig. 1: Recap reads your to-dos, meetings, dictations and calendar. To-dos you checked off and what you agreed to on a call go to “Definitely did”. Dictations, calendar events and call action items you didn’t accept go to “Might have done”, where you confirm them.
Did or didn’t
Checked-off to-dos count as done. Anything it guessed waits for you.
- “Definitely did” holds the to-dos you checked off and what you agreed to out loud on a call.
- “Might have done” holds what it guessed from a dictation, your calendar or an action item you didn’t accept.
- “Did” moves a line up, “Didn’t” drops it, “On my list” keeps it to add as a to-do.
It remembers your answer for that period.

5:30 PM — Copy for standup
Paste your day into standup without retyping it.
- “Copy for standup” copies the summary and everything under “Definitely did”, ready for Slack: a bold heading per category, then bullets. “Copy as text” copies the same as Markdown.
- Each category has its own copy buttons, so Fernhill goes to standup without Family.
- Things you weren’t sure about stay out until you answer “Did”.

Recap keeps a log of what you dictate and check off.
An AI model writes each recap from that period’s log, calls and calendar. Here’s how the app describes the log itself:
“What’s recorded: the text of your dictations, which category you complete todos in, and a rough sense of the kind of app (email, chat, message…) — never the app’s name. It stays on this Mac, auto-deletes after your retention window, and you can clear it or turn it off any time.”
