Your turn
Your history is already on your disk. Caprock reads it.
Your number is there on first run, from every session still on disk, and kept after your agents delete their own transcripts, at API list price. A free desktop app for macOS, Windows and Linux that keeps the ledger of every agent you run, Apache-2.0, local by default.
