Transcription History

Lagos automatically saves every transcription to a local SQLite database with full-text search. Your entire dictation history is always available, private, and searchable.

Accessing History

Click the Lagos menu bar icon and select History to open the history panel. You can also use ⌘+H while the Lagos popover is open.

Searching History

The search box at the top of the History panel uses full-text search (FTS5). Type any word or phrase to instantly find matching transcriptions. Search is case-insensitive.

History Entries

Each entry shows:

• Transcription text — the full text
• Timestamp — date and time of the recording
• Engine — which transcription engine was used
• Duration — how long the recording was

Storage Location

History is stored locally at:

~/Library/Application Support/Lagos/history.db

This is a standard SQLite database file. You can open it with any SQLite client (DB Browser for SQLite, TablePlus, etc.) for custom queries or data export.

Privacy

Your transcription history never leaves your device. It is not synced to any server. The database is accessible only by you and applications with access to your home directory.

Deleting History

To delete individual entries: swipe left or right-click an entry in the History panel.

To clear all history: Settings → Privacy → Clear transcription history.

Export

You can copy any transcription entry to your clipboard from the History panel. Full CSV export is planned for a future release.
