Follow these steps to go from install to your first report. Each step links to a deeper guide if you want more detail.
1

Install Daytalog

Download the latest macOS build from daytalog.com and move Daytalog to your Applications folder.
2

Launch and verify it's running

Open Daytalog. You’ll see the icon in the macOS menu bar (top-right). Daytalog runs in the background so it’s ready when you are.
3

Create your first project

From the menu bar icon, choose “Projects” → “New Project”. This creates a project folder you can configure anytime. Learn more about your project folder and how project vs shared settings work.
4

Customize your workflow

Make it yours with templates and presets for export and email. Start with Templates and Presets.
5

Capture a shooting day

Click the menu bar icon → “New shooting day” to add data from today’s shoot. Edit the entry later in the dashboard.
6

Share your first report

With your project set up, export or send a report from the menu bar or dashboard.
