Open the original- What it measures
- Read on the developer's README on 2026-10-21. A session holds the transcript file (context.md) and any screen images (context-1.png and so on), so the row is coded as transcripts. The same section says the speech model runs locally.
- What it does not show
- This is a maximum, not a fixed period. The README describes an experimental release and says the rule may change in later versions. It describes the Mac app only.
