FIRST-LOAD
Input is processed locally and a draft is saved automatically in this browser profile when storage is available. Reset to sample clears that draft; Pro history has its own clear button. A state link encodes your inputs in its URL: share only non-sensitive rows. Browser history, clipboard and anyone receiving the link may retain it. Optional AI use below leaves this device; it is not required.
Data note: Everything runs in this browser tab on the post-production chart: your raw recording session | raw audio minutes | edit ratio multiplier stays on this device, nothing is uploaded, and the reading is rebuilt only when you press run.
Perspective: Before: Listening, cutting mistakes, levelling volume, and exporting take multiple passes. After: the post-production chart shows the working beside each named row so the reader can change the assumption and inspect the consequence.

Optional AI formatting, not calculation
For this post-production chart, use the free AI Studio interface only if available to you, with no paid API key. Manual entry completes the same workflow for free. Supply only fictional or non-sensitive notes. Review its output against the source; never paste unresolved questions into the numeric rows.
Format my non-sensitive notes for a post-production chart. Return plain rows only: raw recording session | raw audio minutes | edit ratio multiplier. Preserve supplied quantities exactly. Do not guess missing values; list questions separately. Do not calculate or add advice. I will check every row before pasting into the local tool.
Accepted schema: raw recording session | raw audio minutes | edit ratio multiplier. No AI response is executed as code.
