Feature Ideas

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

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!!

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.

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.

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.

When Pocket is toggled to call, it will automatically record calls without pushing "Record" manually

It would save me many hours if I could swipe a conversation left to on the dashboard to delete accidental recordings, of which I have at least a handful every day.

Timeout for the LED status light after say 10 minutes of no use. It can draw unnecessary attention and can be a disturbance at night even though it isn't super bright.

Add an “enhanced recording mode” option that would record audio on the Pocket device and from mobile phone at the same time. It will take both recordings, sync, and enhance transcript accuracy. It could also provide opportunities for extended recording range. I could lay my pocket device at the end of one side of the conference room and lay my phone down on the other side with me. Because it’s recording from both devices, it can pick up conversations a lot clearly over a larger range.

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.

while I love the buzz when you start and stop recoding there are times when you need absolute silence (no buzz). Can there be an option to toggle a silent mode on?

auto device shut-off if no speech detected after X minutes (I leave mine on accidentally after a meeting is over lol) allow us to set the number of minutes it shuts off after... (let's say at least 5?)

I would love a “Daily Capture” or “Running List” mode built directly into the Pocket hardware. The idea is that a specific click pattern on the power button, like a double-click or long-press, would tell Pocket that I am not trying to start a brand new note. Instead, I am adding something to one ongoing daily entry. This would be especially useful throughout the day when I am driving, working, running errands, or just moving between tasks. For example, while driving I could quickly say, “Pick up milk after work.” Later at work, I could add, “Meeting at 10 AM.” Then later I could brain dump something like, “I had a cool idea for a house project, remind me to follow up when I get home.” All of those small captures would go into one daily note or capsule instead of becoming separate recordings. Pocket could then organize the entry into sections like To-Dos, Reminders, Ideas, Follow-Ups, and Random Thoughts. At the end of the day, it could generate a clean summary and action list. The biggest benefit is reducing clutter and friction. Sometimes a thought is too small to deserve its own note, but still important enough that I do not want to forget it. A hardware shortcut for a running daily capture list would make Pocket feel more like a real daily assistant, especially for people who think out loud, have ADHD, work across multiple tasks, or need to quickly capture things without stopping what they are doing.

I have really bad dyslexia and ADHD and can’t keep focused… I find listening a lot easier so if we could have a read aloud Button to listen to the summaries that would be amazing 🙌🏼🙌🏼

hey there, after notion the connection to Evernote would be great! best, Wilhelm
