Tota automatically archives older transcriptions as Markdown files for long-term reference or use with AI models of your choice.
How It Works
- Transcriptions older than 3 days are moved from active storage to archive files.
- Each day produces one file named
YYYY-MM-DD.md. - Files include YAML front matter with metadata:
---
date: 2024-03-10
transcription_count: 42
total_words: 1234
total_duration: 3456.5
archived_at: 2024-03-11T10:00:00Z
---Default Archive Location
~/Library/Application Support/Tota/archives/transcriptions/Custom Archive Path
- Go to Settings > General > Archive.
- Click the folder picker to choose a custom directory.
- Future archives will be written to the new location.
You can also click Open in Finder to browse the current archive folder.
Disabling
Toggle Archive transcriptions off in Settings > General > Archive. Transcriptions older than 3 days will simply be removed from the active list without archiving.
