**You can read a day of your work timeline, and pause capture from any device. While capture is paused, nothing is stored.**

- **Read a day.** Your Mac's records are folded into stretches of time, so you read a day as a short list. Agents read it with `GET /v1/timeline`.
- **Pause and resume.** Pausing is a setting on your account, so it holds for every device. Agents use `/v1/timeline/pause`.
- **While paused,** uploads from the Mac are refused (HTTP 423), and records captured during the pause stay out of your log.

Where: the `/v1/timeline` routes with your API key.
