Trail — know how you work

Replay your essays, see your homework time by class and plan your next piece. A private record on your laptop, never a detector.

Trail keeps a private record of your schoolwork on your own computer and turns it into a weekly look at how you work: how each essay was written, where your homework hours went, and how long the next piece will take you. WHAT YOU GET EACH WEEK • Replay: watch any essay rebuild itself keystroke by keystroke, with pasted text highlighted and labelled with the site it came from. • Patterns: your best hour, how long your sessions last, how much of the final text you typed, and how much you rewrite. • Homework time: how long you actually spent on each class and assignment in the writing tools and school sites you already use, for you alone. No teacher view, no limits. • Streaks: days in a row and days this week with real work in them. • Your pace: type a word count and a due date, and Trail forecasts how long it will likely take you, from your own past essays, then suggests sessions in your own best hours. It needs four recorded essays first. • An honest AI-use statement, drafted from what actually happened, that you edit and attach. IF ANYONE EVER ASKS Every ten minutes the extension has a fingerprint of your record signed and logged publicly. If a teacher ever questions a piece, export a signed record in one click; anyone can check it at the verify page, in their own browser, without trusting us. Trail is not a detector and gives no score: it shows how the text was made, and says plainly what a record cannot see. Free during early access. WHERE IT RECORDS Your writing is recorded only inside the document editors it supports. On course sites and practice sites it keeps time only, never what you type. It runs nowhere else. The exact list of supported sites is on the install page and in the extension's permissions. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Nothing records until you press Start recording. You can stop it from the toolbar button at any time. • Your text and your record stay in your browser. Our server never receives what you write. • What leaves your computer: a fingerprint (a hash) of each record every ten minutes, and only if you sign in; and, unless you untick the box next to Start recording, anonymous daily usage counts (minutes recorded, sessions, which features you opened) under a random id, never your text, sites, titles or email. • Optional: turn on "Know where pastes come from" and Chrome will ask for access to all sites, so a paste copied from any site can be attributed. Only a fingerprint of what you copy is kept, never the copied text. • No ads, no analytics on your writing, no selling or sharing of data, no teacher dashboard.
