Submit IdeaCarry speaker identity across recordings
When I name or correct a speaker, Pocket should remember that person and recognize them in future recordings, not start with fresh unnamed labels each time. This would save repeated manual tagging and make transcripts, summaries, and speaker search more consistent. Please let users review, edit, and remove saved voice identities.

Note to myself mode
Add a "note to myself mode". Activated for example with push+hold of recording button. The idea is that i can make notes to myself through the day and at the end get one summary with resulting tasks instead of multiple recordings with only myself.

Listen to meetings that are via headset
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

Bring Dark Mode to Pocket Desktop. Help Make It a Priority.
You know that moment. It's 9pm, the room is dim, you open Pocket on your laptop to review a transcript, and the screen hits you like a flashlight. For those of us with light sensitivity, that's not an annoyance. That's the moment we close the app. A year ago I asked for Dark Mode on the Pocket app. 138 of you voted. The team listened, and it shipped on iOS. That's proof this board works. Your vote here is not a wish. It's a signal the team actually reads. Original request: https://feedback.heypocket.com/b/6m5or9o0/feature-ideas/dark-mode-for-pocket-app Here's the gap. Desktop is where the real work happens. Long transcripts. Back-to-back recordings. Notes you're cleaning up before they go to a client. It's the place we spend the most time in Pocket, and it's the only place we still don't get to choose how it looks. We have Dark Mode in our pocket and lose it the second we sit down at a desk. And it's not just a light sensitivity issue. Late night catch-up. A dim office. A long day where your eyes are already done. Every serious productivity tool gives you this choice. Pocket desktop should too. The ask: Light, Dark, and Follow System, consistent across recordings, transcripts, notes, search, and settings. If Follow System takes longer, a simple Dark Mode toggle is a great first step. We got this done once. Let's do it again, and bigger. If you use Pocket on desktop and you'd flip Dark Mode on today, upvote this. One click. The higher this climbs, the sooner it lands on the roadmap, and the sooner all of us get to work the way we want to. Let's make Pocket easier on the eyes on every device we use. Thank you 🙏

Lifetime Pocket Pro subscription
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!!

Some recording apps let you save voice profiles and recognize people in later recordings
Some recording apps let you save voice profiles and recognize people in later recordings Pocket’s help information is inconsistent: one page says naming a speaker can carry across recordings, while another says saved names don’t teach Pocket to recognize that person in new recordings

Label speakers BEFORE summarizing or Add an easier way to label
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.

Setting to auto delete “zero content” recordings
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.

Automatically add things to my Calendar
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

Double Tap to start recording
Double tap to start recording so you don’t turn on Pocket in your pocket.

Work with “Find My” App
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.

Sync Over WiFi (Pocket Device -> Your WiFi Router)
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.

Recording is USB-C cable
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.

Device Lock
Unintentionally recorded conversations when device is in my pocket. Would like the option to 'lock' it to avoid that.

Geo Tagging for Location Reminders (shopping, client site meeting, etc)
Uncertain whether the Pocket device hardware supports this, but a few feature ideas: • Receive notifications when driving past a store that carries an item from the shopping list. This works similarly to a feature in the AnyList app currently in use. When arriving at a Client site: • Automatically surface relevant notes from the last meeting, recent emails, and phone calls for a quick pre-meeting refresher. • Optionally, auto-tag the Client and have a note-taking template ready for recording meeting details.
