▸ 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 24

Asked a bigger AI. The overnight run finished, and 4 trips went to a bigger AI since midnight.
The last 14 nights, oldest first. Teal: nothing left the Mac. Amber: at least one trip to a bigger AI. A frown: the run did not post that it finished.

Published by the nightly job Oct 24, 5:45 AM MT. Numbers only: the job publishes counts, never a note, capture, or question.

The overnight run finished Oct 24, 5:01 AM MT, on rented (rented). 10 sessions were captured in the 24 hours before the job published. The raw file is /night.json.

Left the Mac, Oct 24, midnight to 5:45 AM MT: 4 calls · 36,977 tokens in / 19,053 out · sent by nightly.mjs 3, ask.mjs 1 · to gemini-3.1-pro-preview 2, gemini-3.8-flash 2 · 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 24.

The record: 84 files · 297 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. 6 files changed since 2026-10-23. root 188305ff45dd… · link c87cece52ed3… · prev 00033c34f0e0…. 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 24, 5:45 AM MT by the same nightly job, which sends only the root and a label. Check it on hashcare.com.

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.
