- What it is
- The README of Amanu, a free, open-source app that records, transcribes and summarizes online meetings on Mac and Windows. It describes where recordings are kept and when audio is discarded or retained.
- How much weight it carries
- The maker's own repository, linked as the source code from amanu.me. It describes the app's documented behavior at the version it covers (v0.6.5 downloads). It does not state a retention period in days, and the separate analytics retention it links to concerns usage events, not voice recordings.
