SAYF is a free, offline daily activity report (DAR) app built for security officers. Log the shift as it happens — guided, timestamped entries, photos included. When the shift ends, SAYF turns it into a clean, structured PDF and sends it straight to your supervisor or client, no extra steps. WHAT IT DOES • Guided, step-by-step shift setup • Timestamped log entries with optional photos • A live countdown clock so you always know how much of your shift is left • One-tap PDF export — officer, times, log, and photos, ready to send • Save recipients once, send in a tap • Works offline — except for when you send an email WHY IT'S FREE No account. No subscription. No cloud to bill you for. Reports, photos, and recipients are stored only on your device — SAYF never sees them. BUILT FOR THE JOB No fancy dashboards, no admin console, no per-seat pricing. Just a fast way to log a shift and produce a report someone can actually read. Available in English and Spanish.
