Data and history

Nock keeps a local voice history for dictations and spoken requests, unless you choose not to keep it. This history is distinct from chats, account records, provider-side processing, and the in-memory Paste Last Transcript recovery text.

Choose voice-history retention

1. Open Settings → Privacy.
2. Find Keep voice history.
3. Choose Forever, 90 days, 30 days, 7 days, or Don’t keep.
4. Use Delete voice history to remove the existing history, or delete an individual item in its history list.

The default is 90 days. Don’t keep stops new history entries and removes existing voice-history entries. Shortening the retention period can remove entries older than the new period. Deleting a history item also deletes its associated screen pictures, if it had any. Deletion affects this local history; it does not delete agent chats, memory, or data that has already been sent to a provider.

Paste Last Transcript

The Paste Last Transcript shortcut pastes the most recent completed recording again. It is a temporary in-memory recovery feature, not the voice-history list. It is replaced by a later recording and cleared when Nock quits. If focus changed or the original paste failed, click the intended field before using it. The default appears in Settings → General → Shortcuts (Control + Command + V on Mac, Win + Alt + V on Windows).

Chats and other saved information

Voice history is not your agent-chat history. In Settings → Agent, Keep chats for controls chat retention (90 days by default; 30 days, 1 year, or Forever), and Start a new chat after controls when a quiet conversation starts a fresh chat (Never by default; 1, 4, or 24 hours). Deleting a voice-history entry does not delete a chat or forget a saved fact. The history list itself stays on this computer; a voice request may separately send audio or recognized text to the speech, model, voice, or connected-app service selected for that task. The Where your requests go card in Privacy is a general statement, not a per-request destination log. Local deletion cannot revoke processing that has already occurred at a provider. See privacy and data and privacy controls.

Start fresh

For a broader reset, open Settings → About → Start fresh. Reset settings restores preferences without deleting chats; Clear chats and memory removes local conversations and voice history; Erase everything on this computer also removes saved apps, keys, and other Nock data on this computer and signs out. Each choice shows a confirmation listing what it will remove. The reset does not delete your Nock account, plan, billing, or connected-app accounts. Use Save a copy first if you want a supported export before erasing local data.

Review a problem report

Problem reports are separate from voice history. In Settings → About → Report a problem, review any prefilled summary and open See what’s included to inspect optional diagnostics before you press Send report. Local voice-history entries are not the report form; do not attach a transcript or recording unless it is needed and you choose to share it.
