▸ The meter

Numbers, in the open.

A product whose whole pitch is a meter should show its own. Two ledgers, both counts only: what chanio ran on the founder’s Mac and what it sent off the Mac, and who visited this site — counted here, without cookies, IP addresses, or anyone else’s analytics.

The founder’s Mac, Oct 14

Published by the nightly job Oct 14, 9:45 AM MT. Numbers only: the job publishes counts, never a note, capture, or question.

The overnight run finished Oct 14, 5:00 AM MT, on rented (rented). 17 sessions were captured in the 24 hours before the job published. The raw file is /night.json.

Left the Mac, Oct 14, midnight to 9:45 AM MT: 4 calls · 45,300 tokens in / 24,778 out · sent by nightly.mjs 3, tutor.mjs 1 · to gemini-3.1-pro-preview 3, gemini-3.8-flash 1 · paid by Gemini on Google Cloud, paid from credits (4). Counted from chanio’s own two logs on the Mac; a run on a later day recounts the whole of Oct 14.

The record: 83 files · 290 KB. That is the memory every answer starts from (the canonical notes, the identity contracts, the memory pack), hashed as one root and chained night to night. 60 files changed since 2026-10-13. root ce2ac2660eff… · link 6c5f099e2b00… · prev 8657cd49150f…. The full hashes are in /night.json, so anyone can check the chain (each link is the sha256 of the previous link and the root); nobody can read a word of the record from it. Which files changed stays on the Mac.

Timestamped on hashcare.com on Oct 14, 5:45 AM MT by the same nightly job, which sends only the root and a label. Check it on hashcare.com.

Left the Mac counts every model call that went out through chanio’s own two logs, by day. Oct 14 is counted from midnight to 9:45 AM MT; a run on a later day recounts the whole day. A dash there means not counted in full: before Sep 30 the job read only one log, once, when it published. The record's chain begins on Sep 30.

What gets counted: the page, the referring site, the day, and mobile-or-desktop, added to that day’s totals. Not kept: your IP address, a cookie, a fingerprint, or anything about you. Browsers sending Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control are skipped. Crawlers are kept out of the totals.

Why publish this: the meter is the product. If we ask you to trust a number about what your AI cost and where it ran, ours should be on the wall too. Only daily totals are stored; there is no row per visit to keep or delete. Details in the privacy policy.
