Feature Ideas

I’m currently testing Pocket intensively and already see a lot of value for my daily work, especially as a central place for thoughts, notes and action items. One feature would make Pocket significantly easier for me to integrate into my daily workflow: support for AirPods or other Bluetooth headsets as the audio input. I travel a lot and frequently work from my car, airports and airplanes, where I almost exclusively use AirPods. Currently, I need to hold or position the Pocket device itself to record something. This is inconvenient while travelling and, particularly while driving, not ideal from a safety perspective. My ideal workflow would be very simple: press the button on Pocket to start a recording, while the actual audio is captured through the microphone of my connected AirPods. Being able to record phone calls conducted through AirPods would also be extremely valuable, although I assume call recording is already a known use case. Is support for Bluetooth microphones / AirPods something that is currently on your roadmap?

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’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.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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

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.

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.

When adding recording from a file to the app, detect the recording date and time automatically from the metadata.

Feature Add a Dark Mode option to the Pocket Desktop application, similar to the dark mode that is already available in the Pocket mobile application. Description The Pocket mobile app already supports Dark Mode, but the Desktop app currently does not offer the same option. Adding Dark Mode to the Desktop experience would provide a more consistent experience across devices and improve usability, especially for users who spend extended periods working with Pocket recordings and transcripts. Why this would be helpful Reduced eye strain: A darker interface can be more comfortable when using Pocket for long periods, particularly in low-light environments.Better consistency across devices: Users who have enabled Dark Mode on their phone would have the same visual experience when switching to the Desktop app.Improved nighttime usability: Dark Mode is particularly useful when reviewing recordings, transcripts, notes, or other content in the evening without a bright white interface.Better integration with system preferences: Ideally, the Desktop app could support Light / Dark / System Default, automatically following the user's operating-system appearance setting.Improved accessibility and personalization: Giving users control over the interface theme allows them to choose the display mode that best fits their environment and visual preferences. Suggested implementation Add an Appearance or Theme setting in the Desktop app with: Light ModeDark ModeSystem Default – automatically follow Windows/macOS dark-mode settings The implementation should cover the entire Desktop interface, including navigation, recording lists, transcript views, search, settings, and other application screens. Since Dark Mode is already available in the Pocket mobile application, the existing design language could potentially be reused to maintain visual consistency between the mobile and Desktop experiences. Expected benefit This would be a relatively small UX improvement that brings the Desktop app closer to feature parity with the mobile application while making Pocket more comfortable for extended daily use.

Textual transcripts lack the emotional delta present in vocal delivery. I want audio-native interpretation to capture sarcasm, excitement, and friction that words alone mask. Specifications: Tonal Distribution: Provide a percentage-based breakdown of emotional states (e.g., 40% Engagement, 20% Sarcasm, 10% Reticence).Temporal Markers: Identify specific vectors where the emotional tone shifts, noted by precise timestamps (e.g., "Shift to annoyance at 08:42").Acoustic Inference: Analyze pitch, cadence, and inflection to synthesize intent rather than just transcribing syntax. Objective: Transform transcripts from flat records into high-fidelity intelligence.

I love the add attachment feature, use it often. But it’s only available during the meeting and after summarizing. I want to add attachment also after transferring from Pocket to the app, so the summary can take into consideration the attachments. That would stop the need to redo the summary in many cases.
