Background
The KnowledgeC app intents stream records app intents and Siri-donated user actions, capturing the owning application together with the intent class and verb, for example sending a message, starting a call, or playing media.
Data Collected
This collector gathers structured data about donated app intents, including the application, intent class and verb, and timing. Results are recorded in app_intents.
Collection Method
This collector reads KnowledgeC databases under user profiles and records application intent events into app_intents.
Forensic Value
Donated app intents reveal user actions such as messaging, calling, and media playback even when the originating app’s own logs are unavailable, aiding activity timeline reconstruction.
