Feature Ideas

I’ve been heavily using Pocket Record Conversations inside operational workflows, meetings, strategy sessions, assessments, and execution tracking, and honestly it’s become one of my favorite tools for capturing organizational memory and conversations in real time. There are a few friction points I’ve run into around speaker identification and transcript organization, but they honestly feel less like complaints and more like opportunities for future evolution because the platform already has so much potential. One of the biggest workflow challenges right now is speaker attribution in larger meetings and recurring team conversations. The biggest underlying issue is that multiple real people can accidentally get grouped under a single speaker identity, which makes transcript cleanup extremely manual and difficult at scale. Right now, the workflow is mostly: • Rename one speaker globally or • Manually correct transcript sections one at a time The problem is that “rename all” can unintentionally relabel multiple actual people because they were initially merged together under the same speaker label. Once that happens, there’s currently no efficient way to split those speakers back apart across the transcript on either mobile or desktop. This becomes especially difficult in long operational meetings where speaker accuracy matters and recurring voices should ideally become more identifiable over time. A few things that would make a huge difference: • Better recurring voice recognition and speaker fingerprinting • True post-transcription speaker splitting • Ability to isolate and reassign selected transcript ranges without affecting unrelated sections • Better speaker reassignment workflows across both desktop and mobile • Speaker learning/profiles for recurring teams • Confidence indicators where attribution may be uncertain • Dedicated transcript review/validation mode Another area that feels like a major opportunity for growth is the organizational and file management side of the platform. As conversation volume scales, organization becomes just as important as transcription itself. I’d love to see deeper file and folder organization capabilities evolve, especially for users managing large numbers of operational conversations, recurring meetings, assessments, and cross functional workflows. Things that would make a huge difference there: • Nested folder structures/deeper file hierarchy • Bulk tagging and categorization tools • Multi-select organization workflows • Easier grouping of related conversations and recurring meeting threads • Better filtering/search across tags, speakers, projects, or teams • Ability to organize identified speakers or recurring groups more efficiently • Faster bulk management for large transcript libraries The platform already has really strong foundational functionality. It mostly feels like the next evolution is making large scale workflow management, transcript organization, operational retrieval, and institutional memory more scalable and intelligent. Really impressive product overall and excited to see where the platform evolves next. Curious what features or workflow improvements other people would love to see too.

Editing transcript is similar but trimming the recording would be a bulk way to edit as well as shrink file size.

I pay a monthly fee for chatGPT access ... and it would be useful if this device could attach to it for reference purposes and then it would allow me to ask questions across my content stored in that account as well.

One feature that would make this software even better would be an automatic recording or auto-answer mode. For example, when someone walks into your office, the recorder could automatically activate, or when you receive a phone call, it could switch to the phone microphone and begin recording automatically. I imagine a lot of people run into the same issue I do — there are plenty of times when an important conversation gets missed simply because I forgot to turn the recorder on, or I left it in phone mode and forgot to switch it back. Adding automation like this would make it feel like the perfect device. Honestly, that’s my biggest frustration with it right now — not the quality, but simply having to remember to manually turn it on or change modes at the right time.

Ability to use Ask Pocket within folders. The idea being that it is using the summaries/recordings within that folder as context and not everything else.

Right now, when you sync, there's a button you click to generate a summary and a pop-up happens asking you to choose a template. I feel like here it should also have you label the speakers, so that when it's summarizing it will summarize with names instead of "speaker 3". In order to change it from "speaker 3" to "john" you have to go into the transcript and tap on them. It would make a lot more sense to be able to access the speaker labeling functions quicker and easier.

It would be incredibly powerful to sycn the mind malling to Notion spaces.

Having summaries and transcriptions is great. But I should also be able to easily just hit a play button and listen to the original sound file This isn't just a convenience. It is what allows me to validate and then trust that the transcriptions are correct which then means that the summaries are high quality. Right now it takes a lot of effort to go listen to the original sound recording

I'd love to see Pocket support uploading text-based documents — specifically .txt, .docx, and MS Teams transcripts (both the .docx and .vtt exports) — so they get indexed, summarized, and become searchable alongside audio recordings. The gap I'm running into is that a lot of work conversations happen in Microsoft Teams meetings that I can't realistically capture with the Pocket device. Those transcripts and notes end up scattered across OneDrive, Teams, and various files, completely outside the brain I'm trying to build inside Pocket. The ideal experience would be to drop an uploaded document into my library and have it treated exactly like a recording — same transcript view, same summary, same action items, and pulled into Ask Pocket so I can query across my voice notes and my Teams meetings together as one searchable layer. I noticed there's already a thread from February about PDF uploads failing validation, so document ingestion seems to be on the roadmap. Extending that to cover .txt, .docx, and Teams exports would close a big gap for anyone whose meetings happen on Teams or Zoom rather than in person. A nice bonus would be auto-detecting Teams transcript format so speaker attribution carries through.

The magnet doesn’t hold very securely and it kept falling off my phone, so I used double-sided tape to fix it, which worked well but made it bulkier and prevents wireless charging.  pixel 10 pro XL

adding picture support to be added to a summary just highlights and strengthens a conversation.

Why This Matters, I love what Pocket is doing, it’s a brilliant tool that’s become part of my workflow. But after using it for a few hours, especially at night or in low-light environments, the bright white interface can be tough on the eyes. For people like me who deal with photo sensitivity or light-triggered eye strain, a Dark Mode isn’t just a preference, it’s a necessity. It allows us to stay productive, focused, and comfortable without having to step away because of light fatigue. Why It’s Worth Adding • Dark mode improves accessibility for users with light sensitivity. • It reduces glare and blue light strain, especially during long sessions. • It matches the user experience expectations set by most modern productivity tools today. • It would make the Pocket app more inclusive while appealing to design-conscious and night-owl users alike. The Ask Let’s get Dark Mode on the roadmap! It’s one of those “quality-of-life” upgrades that everyone benefits from, plus, it’s Sexy, whether you’re working late, presenting in a dim setting, or just prefer a calmer interface. If you’d like to see this happen too, upvote this suggestion so the dev team can prioritize it sooner. Every click helps push this closer to implementation. Let’s make the Pocket app easier on the eyes. Thank you 🙏

Most of my meetings are virtual and I'm wearing a headset. This makes pocket way less useful for me as it's unable to record meetings that are not happening live or if it cannot hear the other people speak. A pocket app that can listen in on meetings or be able to import transcripts would be awesome

In reading through the community chat, it appears there is no way to listen to the audio files on the device itself. I have a similar device I can do this with and it's very helpful as I may record several different things each day one right after the other without stopping to name the files. During my review time, I like to listen to the beginning of the conversation to see if I even need to keep the file (and have it transcribed, summarized and mind-mapped) and then transfer it to my iPhone or Mac.

It would be helpful to be able locate it if misplaced, or to be notified if you leave the device behind. Find My app for iPhone would be really helpful for all Apple Users.
