Quick Search and Chat
Two ways to ask about your time instead of looking for it: Quick Search for instant, structured answers, and Vetroscope Chat for a real conversation about your time.
Quick Search
Section titled “Quick Search”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 total, a chart by day, how much was active versus background time, and the matching stretches of time. Press ↑/↓ to bring back recent searches, and click a video or song with a saved media link to open it again.
Quick Search’s built-in answers run entirely on your computer and work on every plan.
Vetroscope Chat
Section titled “Vetroscope Chat”The Chat tab holds a conversational assistant that knows your tracked data. Ask follow-ups, compare two periods, or check your alert history.
Chat can also make changes for you: create, edit, or delete events; create, rename, recolor, archive, or auto-tag tags and tag activity; create and pause goals; change an app’s category, name, or color; create or edit notes; and adjust settings like idle timeout, break reminders, ignored apps, and pausing tracking. Every change asks you to confirm first, and works exactly like making it yourself.
Replies stream in with charts — an interactive hourly chart for a single day, day-by-day for several days, and by month for longer ranges — and colored labels for the apps, tags, categories, events, and notes they mention. Click an app, breakdown, or tag to open its stats, use Open in Timeline or Open report, or tap a suggested follow-up question. Your recent conversations persist across restarts.
Chat is part of Vetroscope Pro (and the trial). When a question needs more than a built-in answer, the sparkle button in Quick Search sends it to Chat.
Privacy
Section titled “Privacy”Chat looks up your data on your own computer. Only the totals and details needed to answer your question are sent — through Vetroscope’s servers — to the AI 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 any of your data, don’t use Chat: Quick Search’s built-in answers never leave your computer. (Separately, activity-category classification can send app names when that feature runs.)
Monthly usage
Section titled “Monthly usage”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 use it all, Chat pauses until it resets; Quick Search’s built-in answers keep working.
