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

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!!

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.

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’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.

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.

I need the ability to rename or correct the name of a recording before it uploads the file into OneDrive.

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.

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

Based on this post :https://community.heypocket.com/t/i-created-a-new-calendar-item-it-duplicated-it-and-added-to-unknown-calendar-video-attached/525/4?u=sm7 I'd like to be able to select which calendar to add an event to. I currently have 3 calendars Pocket can read from. If I create a new event, I want to select which calendar to the event to
