Feature Ideas

Can we get an option to buy a lifetime subscription at a deal to pocket pro as early adopters? I see value in the upgrade but hate having subscription fees. Many other products I have used had the lifetime option and got all the features on their device and devices they upgraded to later. Let’s go for premium so we can refer even more to the service and device!!

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 🙏

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.

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

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

It would be really awesome if we could configure an access point for pocket to connect to (e.g., your home’s wireless router) for auto syncing to pocket cloud instead of directly to your phone via the app. This would be significantly easier, faster, and additionally an option to have it always sync or on while charging would be incredible! Yeah, battery life would probably take a hit but worth it in my opinion. I saw other idea posts here but they seemed to just be talking about connecting the device to the mobile app via WiFi and NOT the pocket device itself connecting to an access point. Unless I’m missing some aspect of security or hardware limitations, this seems like it would benefit a lot of pocket users who aren’t around their phone all day.

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.

The Problem (Everyone’s Thinking It, Few Are Saying It) Pocket is powerful… but the moment you share a link with a client or prospect and they click into the transcript, things can get uncomfortable fast. Transcripts are often: slightly offmisrepresenting what was actually saidlacking clarity in tone and intentnot aligned with how we actually communicate professionally In a sales or client-facing scenario, this matters. Because now instead of reinforcing authority… it can unintentionally create friction or doubt. What I'm Already Doing (Manual Workaround) Right now, the workaround looks like this: Open Pocket on webCopy your speaking linesPaste into GPTRefine for clarity and professionalismPaste back into Pocket We’re literally fixing transcripts manually before sharing them. That’s time, friction, and missed scalability. 💡 The Opportunity (This Is a No-Brainer Feature) Instead of trying to make transcription perfect… give users control to refine what was captured. Proposed Feature: “Refine Transcript for Clarity” Add a simple, powerful layer: Dual-Layer Transcript System Original transcript (unchanged, for reference)Refined transcript (clean, readable, client-ready) One-Click “Refine” Button Refines selected lines or full transcript Improves:claritytonegrammarprofessionalismPreserves original meaning and intent Edit + Approve Flow Users can tweak refined text if needed Gives control without losing speed 🔥 Regenerate Outputs From Refined Version This is the multiplier. After refinement, allow users to: regenerate summariesregenerate meeting notesregenerate frameworks / outputs Based on the cleaned transcript, not the flawed one Why This Will Blow Up (For Users + Pocket) This hits multiple high-impact levers: ✔ Trust Users feel confident sharing links again ✔ Professional Image No more “that’s not what I meant” moments ✔ Shareability More links sent = more exposure for Pocket ✔ Retention Once users rely on refined outputs, switching cost increases ✔ Viral Loop Better shared experiences → more inbound curiosity → more users Real Talk Transcription will never be 100% perfect: background noiseinterruptionsoverlapping voices That’s normal. But refinement bridges the gap between raw capture and real communication. 🚀 Why Founding Members Should Care If you’re using Pocket for: sales callsconsultingclient meetingsdeal flow Then this is not a “nice to have”… This is a client-facing trust layer. Call to Action If you’ve ever: hesitated to send a transcriptedited one manually before sharingor felt like it didn’t fully represent you 👉 Upvote this. Let’s help Pocket evolve from powerful tool → polished, client-ready platform.

Pocket already does a great job capturing conversations. But right now, once you share a recap, the value mostly stops there. The client reads it. Then the follow-up starts somewhere else. Email.Slack.Text messages.Another meeting. 👉 Right now, follow-up lives everywhere. This would keep it all in one place. The missing layer What if a shared Pocket recap didn’t have to be one-way? What if the shared link itself became the place where the conversation continues, but in a controlled way? For example: A consultant shares a recapThe client can ask follow-up questions tied to that sessionThe consultant controls how much interaction is includedAccess can be limited weekly, monthly, or by plan Now instead of: “Here’s your recap” It becomes: 👉 “Here’s your session, and you can continue the conversation here” Why this matters This would reduce: • repetitive follow-up emails • scattered conversations • unnecessary meetings And increase: • clarity • continuity • value from each session Why follow-up questions matter Most follow-up questions aren’t random. They’re usually tied to: • clarifying a decision • understanding a solution • moving something forward In many cases, they’re the moments where decisions actually happen. But right now, those moments get lost across email, Slack, text messages, or separate conversations. Keeping them tied directly to the original session makes them more useful, easier to manage, and more valuable over time. Where this gets powerful This opens up a new way to structure client access. For example: Free consultation → limited follow-up questionsPaid client → ongoing access each week or monthHigher-tier client → extended interaction tied to sessions Now the recap is no longer static. 👉 It becomes structured, ongoing access Consistency over time If all follow-up questions and answers stay connected to the original session: • you can see everything in one place • nothing gets lost across channels • responses stay consistent Over time, this also helps build a clearer pattern of how questions are answered, making each interaction more aligned and easier to manage. What this becomes This shifts Pocket from: a note-taking or recap tool Into: 👉 something you can actually deliver services through Why this matters for Pocket If follow-up stays inside the recap: • people use shared links more • conversations stay organized • workflows become easier to manage • the product becomes harder to replace Bigger picture (simple) Meeting → recap → follow-up everywhere Becomes: Meeting → recap → follow-up stays connected Related thought I’ve also been thinking about how this ties into making shared Pocket links feel more client-ready in the first place. That’s a separate idea, but it connects closely to this one. Happy to share that as well if useful. Curious whether others would use shared links this way, especially if it helped reduce follow-up and made each conversation more valuable over time.

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 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.

It’s possible to bump the record button or even click to record and then change your mind and cancel before any content is recorded. The system still processes and saves this. It would be good to have a setting that automatically deletes this if no content was recorded or a recording is less than “0” seconds long. For future hardware, it might be good to have a toggle lock to avoided accidental button presses.

I want to have Pocket automatically add things to my calendar and learn what things I want and don't want added. For example, if I just finish a meeting and there are ToDo's, I want them to show up automagically on my calendar. I want to be able to select when they should show up, i.e., immediately, tonight, tomorrow, select a time, etc. Another example, as simple as "Siri (Alexa, etc) remind me to call Mark tomorrow at 9am and discuss xxxx". I want this to happen automagically

How about a companion Watch app, with a watch complication that would allow you to start recording a meeting by tapping the complication on the watch, rather than taking out your phone and using the app. In some meetings with execs or clients, they don't want to see you using your smartphone. Using a watch would provide a more discreet way to start your recording.

Sometimes I am on a call wearing headphones connected to my computer and it is not always feasible to play audio through my speakers. We often have multiple people on a call within our cubicle area so there is a lot of background noise, and our policy is to wear headphones to avoid chaos of everybody utilizing their loudspeakers. It would be great to plug in the Pocket provided USB – C cable from Pocket to the computer and be able to record meetings this way.
