Weekly recap & Home

#Home

Home is the first page you see when you open Veda's window (click the Veda icon, then Open Veda).

• This week — an estimate of the time Veda has saved you so far this week, how that compares with last week ("up 20% on last week"), a bar for each day, and the week's messages, words, busiest app and today's count. Hover over the time saved to see how many messages Veda has written since you started.
• Brief — when memory is on. See Brief.
• Ask Veda — the box at the bottom of Home. Type a question, or press the mic. See Ask Veda.
• Your plan — a strip that appears when something needs your attention, like a trial that has ended. Manage goes to Settings → Plan & usage.

#How "time saved" is worked out

It's an estimate: typing the words Veda wrote at about 40 words a minute, plus a few seconds per message for fixing it up. It's worked out on your computer from your own usage, and the recap itself never leaves it.

#The weekly recap

On Monday morning (at or after 9:00), Veda sends one notification with last week's numbers:

Veda saved you about 1h 40m last week — 86 messages, mostly in Slack.

It's sent once a week, and only if you used Veda at least once that week. Click it to open Home. It needs notifications: on a Mac, setup asks for them, and if you skipped that, Veda asks the first time a recap is due. On Windows it appears as a tray notification. You can check either in Settings → Privacy, under Permissions.

Switch it off with Weekly recap in Settings → General, under While Veda works.

#Activity

Settings → Activity is a log of everything Veda has done, newest first: each rewrite, reply, edit and dictation, which app it was in, and anything that went wrong.

• Filter by All, Replies or Problems, or search.
• Reveal the log file, or clear it.

The log is about what Veda did — which app, which AI answered, what went wrong — not about your messages. For dictation it notes only the length of the recording. It stays on your computer.
