Where logs live

EddyLoop writes one text file per day, named by date, in a folder you choose during setup. The default is an EddyLoop folder in your home directory:

~/EddyLoop/logs/2026-08-21.txt

Each line is a timestamp and the words heard at that time. 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 days are written to the new folder.

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