Hi. I like the app so far, but have a question: she chats about hearing keyboard clicks - I was just scrolling through files and my mic was not set to active for chatting. Or she tells me something about a race car when the PC fans get noisy - again, is she listening constantly?

Hey and thank you! If System Audio Awareness or the MIC weren’t active, CielChan won’t be listening. In that case, it’s possible the AI was hallucinating from other context, like memory, current window/screen awareness, or past observations. She should only react to live audio when those audio settings are enabled in the app and allowed by your computer’s permission settings.
I’m currently getting v1.6.6 ready, which will include an improved model if you’re using the standard local option, along with better memory and context handling. That should help reduce edge cases like this.
Yes, System Audio Listen is currently disabled on app restart by design. Watch Together behaves the same way. These features are session-based opt-ins. This avoids a situation where someone enabled them in a previous session, forgot they were on, and CielChan starts listening again automatically next time.
