Cache, logs, history, and stats

NoteWise stores persistent state under <state>, where <state> is NOTEWISE_HOME or ~/.notewise.

Cache

The cache database is <state>/.notewise_cache.db. SQLite sidecars may include .notewise_cache.db-wal and .notewise_cache.db-shm.

notewise cache info
notewise cache show VIDEO_ID
notewise cache prune --older-than 30
notewise cache clear --yes

cache clear deletes the local SQLite DB and sidecars. It does not delete generated notes, quizzes, transcripts, HTML, PDF, or DOCX output files.

notewise history
notewise stats
notewise stats --model gemini/gemini-2.5-flash

history shows recent cached videos and run details. stats summarizes totals, tokens, costs, and model breakdowns from the cache database.

Logs live under <state>/logs and use filenames like notewise-YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS.log.

notewise logs
notewise logs --tail 100
notewise logs --open
notewise logs clean --older-than 7
notewise logs clean --all

Logs are structlog key-value logs, not JSON. They should not include raw prompts, provider payloads, OAuth tokens, API keys, or cookies.
