One card per feature that has actually shipped, plain words, each one linking to the full story.
The full app is free for seven days, no card and no account, starting the moment you first open it, and after that the meter and the board keep working, free forever.
More: the free week and buyingPeddra reads your own Claude Code transcripts on your own Mac and prices every chat, free forever, whether or not you ever buy the full app.
More: your first look at the meterEvery limit row is named in plain words, like this 5-hour session and this week, with your reset time learned from your own history.
More: your first look at the meterEvery chat carries a light: green to keep going, yellow when it's getting expensive, red when it's time to move to a fresh chat.
More: what the three lights meanRight-click any chat to rename it or hide it, and hidden chats collapse into one line, with a red dot if one still needs you.
More: what's newYou can read a chat that's still in progress right inside Peddra, before it's finished.
More: the free week and buyingWith Apple Intelligence on, your Mac reads each chat as it grows, for zero tokens, entirely on device; without it, Peddra does not read in the background at all.
More: settingsOne click reads the chat straight from the files Claude Code already wrote, and writes the handoff: what happened, what was decided, what's next, and which files were touched. The next chat starts already briefed, instead of re-reading everything that came before.
More: finish fasterOnce a chat is finished, its ready prompt sits written and waiting, so you can copy it and start your next chat already briefed.
More: your first look at the meterOn a Claude subscription, your numbers show tokens instead of a dollar figure that was never real for you; paying by API still shows dollars, exactly as before.
More: what's newPeddra only calls a finish free when your Mac genuinely did every bit of the work; a cost it can't measure is never shown as free.
More: what's newThe finish faster button's price is your own measured mean once you've finished chats before, and on a fresh install it starts from a measured average for the cheapest helper until your first finish makes the number yours.
More: finish fasterA switch for Apple Intelligence sits beside your cloud model choice: none, Haiku, Sonnet, Opus, or Fable, with Haiku recommended because it already passes every check Peddra runs.
More: settingsPeddra checks for updates and shows you what changed, right in the app, and it asks your permission first so every update installs only when you click.
More: what's newThe statement is the full record of a finished chat, one document that never gates, even before you've paid.
More: the free week and buyingThe ledger is the running record of what resuming cold would have cost against what it cost instead: dollars on API billing, your window back on a subscription. It counts a real, completed click exactly once, and it stays quiet until there's something real on the books to show.
More: your first look at the meterThe free meter makes no network call of any kind, ever. The full app makes three kinds: your finish click, the update check it asks about first, and an automatic license check at launch and when settings opens.
More: your data stays on your MacOne license key runs the full app on up to three Macs at a time, with a 14-day offline grace period before it falls back to the free meter.
More: your license and your MacsA finished chat says what actually ran, in one line, like "Finished with Sonnet. Used $1.42," priced to its real final model, never one step's slice of it.
The menu bar drawer carries three doors along its bottom edge: desk, settings, and statement, always in the same place, each one closing the drawer behind it, and cmd-comma opens settings straight from the desk window.
Terms and privacy open in a real window inside Peddra, never in whatever app your Mac happens to associate with a text file, with every numbered clause kept exactly as written.
About Peddra is a real Mac about panel: the wordmark, your privacy sentence, and the font credit, instead of a plain alert box.
Right-click a chat to reveal its transcript in Finder, open its project folder, or copy its resume command and cost summary.
Brighter numbers mean pricier chats, and each chat's dot shows what Peddra is doing right now, reading in the background or a handoff ready to go, with red reserved for chats that actually need you.
The menu bar number shows the usage limit you're closest to on the full app, and the avoidable total on the free meter.
Drag the divider between the chat list and the reading pane to resize either one.
The start fresh chat button says exactly where it's going before you click: in Terminal.
A timestamp from another day says so, like "Updated yesterday 3:26pm," instead of a bare time that reads as today.
The free dropdown's resume list shows each chat by its own name, once you've given it one, instead of a generic id.
Peddra writes a digest of the chat while you're still working, the running draft your ready prompt is built from, already written before you need it.
