Start with the question.

Set up Ottto, understand its evidence boundaries, and trace cost, context, and agent work to sources you can inspect.

Install & setup

Set up Ottto and verify the data boundary.

Install the Mac app, inspect what the open runtime reads and can sync, then check which sources and fields are supported.
Install Ottto for macOS Download the signed Apple silicon app, connect your account, and detect supported local sources. macOS setup Audit the local runtime and privacy boundary Inspect the public daemon, connector, and privacy contracts: what stays on-device, what can sync, and which actions require approval. Runtime & privacy Check source coverage Compare collection paths, source-specific fields, freshness, privacy boundaries, and reconciliation rules. Coverage matrix

Cost & agent work

Explain the bill with the work behind it.

Keep billing bases separate, then trace recurring work, lineage, context, memory, caching, and quota evidence.
Reconcile cost and usage Compare subscriptions, metered APIs, supported local usage, and cloud billing without treating unlike bases as one total. Cost evidence Review agent operations Inspect recurring groups, recorded parent-child lineage, work patterns, prompt-cache economics, and quota pace. Operations Understand context and memory Distinguish conversation context, repository instructions, local memory, runtime state, compaction, and prompt caches. 10 min guide

Operate & decide

Automate checks, track changes, and review recommendations.

Use documented interfaces for repeatable operations while keeping provider facts, account evidence, and recommendations distinct.
Review provider changes Separate reviewed public changes from provisional items, then check private relevance only where connected evidence supports a match. Provider Impact Use the CLI Get readable output or structured JSON and NDJSON for status, diagnosis, evidence queries, and guarded actions through the local daemon. CLI guide Browse open agent skills Inspect reusable, public workflow instructions for operating Ottto with coding agents. GitHub repository Review Advisor recommendations Inspect source coverage, confidence, assumptions, caveats, and the recomputed analysis before acting. Advisor Build repeatable reports Move from the account overview to agent runs, then build and save cost or usage views for repeat review. Web app & reports

Choose the right reference

Match the question to its evidence.

Public guides explain workflows. The open repository documents local runtime contracts. Your account shows live availability, freshness, and metric definitions.

Product guides

Use public guides to understand supported workflows, terminology, and evidence limits before opening account data.
