read a screen recording

no export in imessage? record your screen while you scroll the chat. the reader goes through the whole conversation and tells you what is going on in it — the verdict, the shape of it, who carries it, where it turned, and what to watch.

this is a reading, not the numbers report. a recording cannot give exact waits or month-by-month counts; what it can give is the conversation itself, read start to finish.

  2. start a screen recording
  3. scroll up slowly, as far back as you care aboutimessage stamps the time whenever the chat went quiet, and that is what the reading needs
  4. stop, then drop the file here
