Where logs live

EddyLoop writes one text file per recording session, named for the moment that session started, in a folder you choose during setup. The default is an EddyLoop Logs folder in your Documents:

Documents\EddyLoop Logs\2026-08-21_09-14-02.txt

Start a session at 09:14:02 and you get that file. Start another after lunch and you get another one. A session is never appended to a file an earlier session wrote, and an existing file is never overwritten. In the rare case that a name is already taken, the new session becomes 2026-08-21_09-14-02_2.txt instead.

Each file opens with four comment lines recording the session start, the microphone, the speech model and the input gain, and closes with the end time and the duration:

# EddyLoop session 2026-08-21 09:14:02
# device: Yeti Nano
# model: GPU - Large-v3 (q5_0)
# gain: automatic

[00:00:12] call the supplier back about the hinge tolerance
[00:00:31] the second batch measured zero point four over
[00:02:04] note for the drawing, move the datum to the flange

# session ended 2026-08-21 09:47:11, duration 00:33:09

Every speech line is stamped with the time since that session began, not the time of day. A line at [00:02:04] is two minutes and four seconds into the recording; the wall clock time the session started is in the header, and the file name carries it too.

Nothing is stored in a database and nothing is encrypted, so any text tool can read the logs: grep, a sync client, your editor, a script.

To move the folder, open Settings and pick a new location. Existing logs stay where they are; new sessions are written to the new folder.

Deleting a log file is the whole story of deleting your data. There is no copy anywhere else.
