Feature Ideas

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

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 🙏

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!!

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

Instead of updating each speaker manually, Pocket should recognize speakers with that voice and offer to update all speaker blocks for that speaker instead of one by one. A one-hour meeting can have 30+ speaking blocks from each party, making it impossible to manually go through the entire transcript to update them all.

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 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 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

THE REQUEST Allow us to automatically or manually attach our unique Pocket affiliate/referral link to any shared recording, AI summary, or conversation link - so when someone clicks "Get your Pocket" on a shared page, it uses OUR link by default, not a generic one. SIMPLE OPTIONS TO IMPLEMENT: • Global setting: "Attach my referral link to all shared pages." • Per-share toggle: "Use my referral link on this page." • Personalized CTA block reusing the existing "Get your Pocket" button, but wired to my referral code. WHY THIS MATTERS: THE GROWTH LEVER YOU ALREADY BUILT BUT HAVEN'T FULLY ACTIVATED Pocket has already built a natural referral loop. Founders, consultants, coaches, and agency owners share recordings and AI summaries with clients, teams, and partners every single day. Right now, that organic distribution is not consistently connected to the referral or affiliate program mechanics - and that is a massive missed opportunity for both Pocket and its most passionate advocates. This feature would: Turn every shared conversation into a product-led acquisition channel Every client or collaborator who opens a shared link is already primed - they're seeing real outcomes Pocket creates (summaries, action items, mind maps) in the context of their own work. Adding our referral link at that exact moment converts pure curiosity into a low-friction "I want this for myself" click. This is contextual proof at the highest-intent moment possible. Align incentives with your most committed advocates Founders, consultants, and agency owners are already introducing Pocket inside deals, workshops, and ongoing retainers. If those shares automatically include our referral link, we become financially and emotionally invested in rolling Pocket out across entire client portfolios and teams - essentially turning early adopters into a distributed, motivated sales force. Accelerate product-led growth with zero extra marketing spend You've already proven there's demand for referrals and affiliate links. Letting us "switch on" affiliate CTAs inside the product compounds that demand without new marketing spend - just better placement of what already exists. HOW IT SHOULD WORK (SIMPLE VERSION FIRST) Affiliate/Referral Settings in Account Profile • Field to paste unique referral URL (from affiliate/referral program) • Toggle: "Use this link on all shared recordings by default" Smart CTA Block on Shared Pages • Reuse the existing "Get your Pocket" button design on public share pages • When an affiliate URL is set, that button quietly swaps to our referral link instead of the generic signup link • Optional social proof line: "Shared with you by [Name/Company Name] - powered by Pocket" Per-Share Control for Edge Cases • When generating a share link, add a simple checkbox: "Include my 'Get your Pocket' affiliate CTA on this page" • Gives us control for internal-only or private shares Analytics (Nice-to-Have Later) • Views of shared pages with CTA • Clicks on "Get your Pocket" • Signups/purchases attributed • This lets founders and agencies double down on use cases driving the most adoption THE SUBSCRIPTION OFFSET EFFECT: WHY THIS DRIVES PAID UPGRADES This feature directly increases the appeal of upgrading to Pocket's paid monthly or yearly plans for both early adopters and new users, because affiliate rewards can realistically offset - or even surpass - the subscription cost over time. When founders, consultants, and creators know that sharing real conversations with clients can help "pay for Pocket," it reframes the subscription from a pure expense into a revenue-generating asset. This psychological shift is one of the most powerful conversion levers in SaaS: the product pays for itself. This turns your most passionate early users into aligned sales representatives who are motivated to showcase Pocket's capabilities in every client deliverable, demo, and project recap, driving both higher retention and a compounding wave of product-led growth. Early adopters become early investors in Pocket's success, not just passive users. For Pocket, this means: • Higher paid plan conversion rates (monthly AND yearly) • Lower churn: users who earn affiliate revenue never leave • Organic enterprise penetration as founders bring Pocket into entire organizations • A self-funding growth engine powered by advocates who are already doing the selling SALES PSYCHOLOGY: WHY THIS CONVERTS AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL This feature combines the most proven conversion levers in behavioral psychology and SaaS growth: • Contextual Proof: Prospects see Pocket in action on a real conversation that matters to them. This is exponentially more convincing than any landing page or ad. • Low-Friction CTA: "Get your Pocket" is a one-click, curiosity-driven step. The mental cost is tiny compared to booking a demo or sitting through a sales pitch. • Reciprocity & Trust Transfer: When someone opens a shared link from a founder or consultant they already trust, that relationship authority transfers directly to Pocket's CTA. • Loss Aversion: Seeing a colleague's AI summary, action items, and insights triggers immediate FOMO. The referral CTA captures that emotion at peak intensity. • Identity-Based Motivation - Reframing Pocket as something that "pays for itself" shifts the identity from "user" to "partner" - a far stickier psychological state. • Social Proof at the Moment of Interest: The share itself IS the testimonial. No extra work required. This is not just "more referrals." It is engineered intent: people see Pocket solving their problem in a live, real-world context, then are given a single, obvious next step to get the same outcome for themselves. WHO THIS UNLOCKS VALUE FOR • Founders & Consultants: A scalable, trackable way to roll Pocket into every client and team, while being rewarded for advocacy already happening. • Early Adopters & Power Users: They become visible champions inside companies, driving internal adoption with a built-in "here's how you can get it too" button on every share. • New Adopters: Seeing the affiliate offset potential makes the paid subscription an easy yes, especially on annual plans. • Pocket's Growth Engine: Every recording shared outside a workspace becomes a product-led acquisition channel that feels native, not bolted-on. COMPENSATION STRUCTURE: CLEAN, FAIR, AND NOT AN MLM To be crystal clear on how this should work: this is a single-level revenue share, not a multi-level marketing scheme. Keep it simple and keep it clean. Here is the proposed model: • You refer someone: they sign up for a paid Pocket account. You earn a revenue share for the lifetime of that active account. • You also earn a share for each additional seat/account holder added under that referred account, as long as they remain active. • If your referral goes on to refer someone else, THEY get compensated for that new referral - not you. No deep levels, no chain compensation. • One level only. You referred, you earned. They referred, they earned. Clean, transparent, and legally straightforward. This model: • Avoids all MLM optics and legal complexity • Rewards genuine advocacy without exploiting downstream networks • Creates lifetime passive income tied directly to the value Pocket delivers • Motivates referred users to also become active referrers, multiplying Pocket's word-of-mouth growth organically at every level of the user base • Gives early adopters and new subscribers a compelling financial reason to upgrade to paid monthly or yearly plans - because the affiliate revenue can realistically offset or fully cover the subscription cost, turning Pocket from an expense into a self-funding asset This is geared towards users that Love Pocket. If you are a founder, consultant, coach, agency owner, or early adopter who would use affiliate-powered shared links, please UPVOTE this and drop a comment with your use case. The more use cases the Pocket team sees, the faster this moves to the top of the roadmap. A NOTE ON SCALABLE, RESPONSIBLE ROLLOUT This feature request comes from someone who has watched fast-growing platforms stumble - not from lack of demand, but from failing to anticipate what demand generation actually costs at the infrastructure level. Pocket is scaling fast. That is exciting. But the risk is real: activating a viral referral and affiliate engine on top of a platform already under server and processing load pressure could amplify the exact pain points some users are already experiencing - degraded performance, slower processing, and device sync delays, and AI response lag during peak usage. This is not a reason to shelve the feature. It is a reason to build it with a phased rollout strategy: Infrastructure First: Before enabling affiliate-powered shared links at scale, ensure server capacity, processing queues, and AI workloads can absorb a significant spike in new account activations and shared link traffic without degrading the experience for existing users.Gated or Waitlisted Rollout: Consider launching this feature first to a limited cohort of power users and early adopters who can stress-test it without overwhelming the system. This also creates scarcity and exclusivity, which drives even higher perceived value.Usage-Based Throttling on Shared Links: Build in rate controls on shared page rendering and CTA click processing so a viral moment does not create a cascading server load event.Capacity Scaling as a Prerequisite, Not an Afterthought: Tie the public launch of this feature to a defined infrastructure readiness milestone, not just a product development milestone. The worst outcome would be a viral affiliate launch that introduces new users to a degraded Pocket experience on day one. Pocket's early adopters are its most valuable asset. Protect their experience first. Then open the floodgates with confidence.

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?)

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.

if mixed language is used, eg in Dutch we use a lot of English words, certainly in a technical environment. Pocket might get the language wrong and does not seem to adjust during the conversation?

It wou;d be great to integrate with M365, also with co-pilot and the ability to make the experience more agentic

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.
