Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to my chat history?

Your chat history is stored only in your browser's local storage (IndexedDB). It never leaves your device unless you explicitly save it. The server processes your messages in real-time and immediately discards themβ€”we fundamentally cannot access your conversations.

How do I clear my local chat history?

Use the /clear command to clear the current display and reset your session, or /rm [name] to remove saved conversations. You can also clear all browser data through your browser settings.

What are sessions and why do they expire?

Sessions are temporary authentication states that expire after 24 hours by default. This ensures no residual data remains on the server. You can check your session status with /status or adjust the timeout with /timeout [minutes].

How do I check my usage and quota?

Type /usage to see your current message count, remaining quota, and token usage for the billing period. Use /account to view your plan details and billing information.

Can I use Tutle.ai on mobile devices?

Yes! The terminal interface is responsive and works on mobile browsers. However, the keyboard-first design is optimized for desktop use. Local history storage works the same way on mobile.
