Quick Search and Chat

Two ways to ask instead of browse: Quick Search for instant, structured answers, and Vetroscope Chat for a real conversation about your time.

Press Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+V anywhere (or the Search button on Home) for a spotlight-style window. Ask things like “what did I do yesterday” or “how much time on After Effects this week” and you get a composed answer: the headline number, a per-day chart, the active/passive split, and the matching sessions. Recent searches are a ↑/↓ away, and results that carry a media link reopen the video or song directly.

Quick Search’s templated answers run entirely on your machine and work on every plan.

The Chat tab holds a conversational assistant that knows your tracked data. Ask follow-ups, compare periods, or have it do things for you — Chat can create tags, log events, and tag activity, always showing a confirmation card before changing anything. Replies stream in with charts and colored chips for the apps, tags, and events they reference, and your recent conversations persist across restarts.

Chat is part of Vetroscope Pro (and the trial). The sparkle in Quick Search switches into Chat when a question needs more than a template.

Chat looks up your data locally, on your machine. Only the specific rows a question needs are sent — through Vetroscope’s servers — to the AI model that writes the reply; nothing is used for training, and nothing is sent when you’re not asking. If you’d rather no AI service ever sees fragments of your data, simply don’t use Chat: Quick Search’s templated answers stay fully local.

The ring in Chat’s header shows your monthly AI allowance. Click it for the detail — how much is used, and when it resets. If you hit the cap, Chat pauses until the reset; templated search keeps working.
