No-Logs Mode (Ephemeral Mode)
No-logs mode is a privacy toggle that prevents Whisperer from saving the transcript and LLM responses after a session ends. Data exists only in memory during the meeting and is deleted immediately when it finishes. Minute quota is consumed in the normal way.
When to Use
- Confidential negotiations, NDA meetings, deal discussions.
- Interviews where you do not want to retain a record of the conversation.
- Conversations with clients or patients in regulated industries.
- Any meeting after which leaving traces in the system is undesirable.
How to Enable
In the Desktop Client
- Click the Settings icon (gear) on the Whisperer panel.
- Toggle "No-Logs Mode" (or "Do Not Save Data") on.
- The indicator on the panel will change color — you will see the mode label.
- Start a session as usual.
In the Web Dashboard
- Open Settings → Privacy.
- Enable "No-Logs Mode".
- The setting applies to all subsequent sessions from this device until turned off.

What Is Not Saved
| Data | Standard Mode | No-Logs |
|---|---|---|
| Meeting transcript | Saved to history | Deleted after session |
| LLM responses | Saved to history | Deleted after session |
| Minutes consumed | Counted toward quota | Counted toward quota |
| Analytics / mind map | Generated after session | Not generated |
Common Errors
| Error | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Session does not appear in history | No-logs mode is enabled — this is expected behavior | This is not an error; data was deleted by request |
| Minutes were deducted but session is missing | Same reason — minutes are always counted | Check quota in the subscriptions section |
| Toggle does not persist | Settings data is cached — try signing out and back in | Re-enable the mode after restarting the client |
Best Practices
- Check the indicator before the meeting starts: the panel should show the mode label.
- Do not confuse with pause: in no-logs mode, pauses and resumes do not appear in history, but minutes during recording are still consumed.
- Use no-logs as the default for regular confidential meetings — you only need to enable it once.
