Desktop history
Understand local conversations, refresh behaviour and history controls.
Storage
Conversation history uses the local OpenSS history service. SQLite is the default for the shared CLI/engine implementation, located under ~/Library/Application Support/OpenSS/data/openss.db.
Use history
- Open History to list previous sessions.
- Select a session to continue its conversation.
- Refresh if another surface changed history while the page was already open.
- Raw voice audio is never stored in chat history; only a submitted transcript can appear.
Alternative backends
The CLI can set history to sqlite, mongodb or off. MongoDB is an optional advanced configuration and changes the privacy boundary because conversation data is no longer confined to the local SQLite file.
