This is where a sleek, accessible, and intelligent solution comes in—an open-source, AI-powered pocket recorder. It syncs recordings locally, provides summaries, and runs on low-power ESP32-S3 hardware with Bluetooth and WebSocket support. The device attaches to a phone via MagSafe or works as a standalone unit, effortlessly capturing conversations, meetings, and spontaneous ideas.

The first prototypes were developed in a San Francisco garage, and the project is now being made open-source to let others build and customize it.

Your feedback on the device is highly valued!

If you’re in San Francisco, you’re welcome to see it in action! Located in Presidio, the creators are happy to meet in person and demonstrate the product.
