Listener

The Listener lets you record ambient audio — a meeting, a brainstorm, a call — while your companion listens in the background. When the session ends, your companion processes the transcript and creates a note with the content.

First-time setup

The first time you open Listener, you’ll be walked through a consent flow explaining what the Listener captures and how it’s used. You need to accept this before starting a session.

The Listener only records when you explicitly start a session. It does not run in the background automatically.

Starting a session

Open Listener from the sidebar. Pick a capture mode, confirm everyone present is okay with being listened to, and tap Start Listening.

Listener ready screen with Microphone / Mic + Computer modes and a consent checkbox

  • Microphone — just your mic (in-person meetings, brainstorms, voice notes)
  • Mic + Computer — your mic plus system audio from your computer (Google Meet, Zoom, anything playing through your speakers)

You can continue using the app while the Listener runs — it operates in the background.

During a session

While listening, you can:

  • Send messages in the chat alongside the session
  • View a live transcript as speech is captured

Ending a session

Tap Stop to end the session. Your companion processes the recording, generates a transcript, and creates a Listener note in your Notes app with the content.

Browser requirements

System audio capture (capturing meeting audio, not just your mic) requires Chrome 105+. Your microphone works in any modern browser.

Recordings

Past Listener sessions are stored in the Recordings tab, where you can review transcripts, summaries, and any content your companion extracted.
