Daily recall, not surveillance theater.

Bello Tracker is designed around practical review: sparse screen recording, app context, active time, and clear encryption status.

Screen timeline

Jump through low-FPS recording chunks when screen capture is enabled.

Active time

Separate real keyboard and pointer activity from AFK periods.

App context

Use foreground app and window history to remember what you were doing.

Private vault

Recordings and metadata stay in an encrypted local vault on your Mac.

The main window keeps review work focused.

The daily view puts recordings, activity, preview controls, and selected-session context into one workspace so review does not become another search problem.

Record screen only when you need visual recall.
Keep activity tracking as the core daily history.
Use the timeline to navigate by time and context.

The menu bar is the fast check-in surface.

The popover shows today's activity clock, active and AFK totals, top-app context, and recording controls without forcing the full app into focus.

Open from the status bar.
Review the 24-hour activity clock at a glance.
Start or continue recording from the same compact surface.
