Spool app icon

Every word. Found.

Spool pulls recordings from the devices you already wear into one searchable day.

Private beta. iPhone, Apple Watch, Mac and the web.

Works with Limitless Pendant, Plaud Note and NotePin.

Works with the recorders you already own

A pendant, a Plaud, your iPhone, Watch and Mac. Spool records from all of them, so there is nothing new to buy.

Limitless Pendant

The iPhone app connects to the pendant over Bluetooth and copies the audio straight off it.

Plaud Note and NotePin

Recordings from the Note and the NotePin sync in on their own and land at the time they were made.

iPhone and Apple Watch

Tap to record on either one. Speech detection runs on the device, so silent audio is never uploaded. Voice Memos you already made come along too.

Mac

The Mac records its mic and the system audio, so both sides of a call land in the transcript.

Every device on one timeline

Each device records on its own clock. Spool lays the pieces out in the order they happened.

What each device heard

The pendant all day, the Plaud in a meeting, the Watch on a walk, a call on the Mac.

One day, in order

Every piece lands where it happened, whichever device recorded it. Scroll the day and it reads in order.

Two recorders, one conversation

When the pendant and the Plaud hear the same moment, Spool merges them into one conversation and lines up the audio. You can switch between them mid-sentence.

Answers that point to the exact second

Each answer cites the line it came from. Click a citation and the conversation opens there and plays.

Example: Spool on the web answering a question with three citations. Activating a citation highlights its line and moves the player to that second.

What did Deep Thought say about the answer?

The answer is forty-two . Deep Thought said it will make sense once you know the question , and you said you'd work out the question by Friday .

Ask in plain words

What did Deep Thought say about the answer? Where did I leave my towel? Spool searches everything your devices heard, plus your Mac meetings and, if you turn it on, your screen history.

Every sentence has a source

Each sentence in an answer cites a specific line in a specific conversation. If there is no source, the sentence is left out.

Click a citation to hear it

The conversation opens on that line and the audio starts at that second, on whichever device heard it best.

More from a recorded day

Names, topics, notes and reminders, built from what your devices heard.

Every voice has a name

Name a voice once. Spool knows it from then on, on every device and in every answer.

Topics inside each conversation

Long talks split where the subject changes, each with a title and a summary.

Meeting notes on the Mac

Record a call. Get the decisions, to-dos and follow-ups when it ends.

Other languages, translated under each line After beta

The beta is English-only. Later, lines in other languages get an English line underneath.

Context from Apple Health

Heart rate, HRV and steps beside what was happening, if you allow it.

Reminders from what you said

Promises made out loud become reminders, synced both ways with Apple Reminders.

Your day in Claude

A read-only connector you approve. Claude can ask Spool questions with the same citations. It can't change anything, and you can remove it at any time.

Your recordings stay in your account

Delete any range, any time, from every device that heard it.

  • Delete a stretch of time

    Pick a start and an end. The audio and the transcript are removed from every device that heard it, at once. You have fifteen seconds to undo.

  • Private places stay off the map

    Mark a place private and nothing recorded there is stored with coordinates or an address. It never reaches a recap, a map or an answer.

  • Nothing is public

    Every page, recording and answer sits behind your sign-in. Screen history and Apple Health stay off until you turn them on.

Selecting 38 seconds of an argument with a smart-home assistant, where a Wi-Fi password was said out loud, and deleting it from the two devices that recorded it

Unlimited, fair use. No hour cap. Past about 300 hours of speech in a month, summaries for the extra time are made overnight. Nothing is cut off.

Hours mean speech, not time worn. Spool detects speech on the device and in the pipeline, so silence never counts. English only at launch. Nobody is charged during the beta.

How Spool compares

Questions before you sign up

Which devices work today?

The Limitless Pendant, Plaud recorders, iPhone, Apple Watch and Mac. The iPhone app connects to the pendant over Bluetooth and copies the audio off it. Plaud recordings sync in on their own.

I don't own a wearable. Is Spool still useful?

Yes. The iPhone, Apple Watch and Mac each record on their own, and the Mac can record both sides of a call.

I have a Pocket, Bee, Fieldy or Omi. Should I sign up?

Yes, and pick it in the questions after you sign up. Those answers decide which devices we look at next. We can't promise support yet.

How does Ask know where an answer came from?

Every sentence in an answer points to a line in a conversation. Tap the number and that conversation opens on the line and plays from that second.

Other languages?

The beta is English-only. Non-English speech is still recorded and transcribed as best we can, but proper support for other languages, with an English line under each one, comes later.

Can I delete something I said?

Yes. Pick a start and an end, and that stretch is removed from every device that heard it, audio and transcript, with fifteen seconds to undo.

What does Unlimited mean?

No hour cap. Unlimited is $47.99 a month or $399.99 a year. Past about 300 hours of speech in a month, summaries for the extra time are made overnight. Nothing is cut off. Silence never counts, and nobody is charged during the beta.

Do you train AI models on my recordings?

No. Spool doesn't train models on your recordings. They are transcribed, indexed and used to answer your own questions.

Is it legal to record conversations?

It depends on where you are. Some US states and many countries require everyone in a conversation to agree before it is recorded. You are responsible for following the law where you record and for telling people when you do; see the Terms. Spool makes it easy to delete any part of a conversation.

A life, recorded

The best moments only happen once.

Spool keeps them: what was said, who said it, and when. So you can go back.

Leo is fictional and the photos are illustrations.

  1. Four teenagers laughing on the hood of an old car at night

    Age 16

    Leo One day we're gonna miss this parking lot.

    Summer, a parking lot, nowhere to be.

  2. A young man and a red-haired young woman laughing in a diner booth over milkshakes

    Age 19

    Leo Sorry. I had a whole thing planned to say.

    The night he met June and forgot how to talk.

  3. Friends studying late around laptops and a pizza box

    Age 21

    Leo I'm telling you, this is gonna work.

    3 AM, cold pizza, the people who stayed up with him.

  4. Leo and two friends cheering at a laptop

    Age 27

    Everyone It works. It actually works!

    The second it finally worked.

  5. Leo and June laughing at their wedding table during a toast

    Age 30

    Best man So. The first time Leo met June, he walked into a door.

    His best friend told the story he hoped nobody would.

  6. Leo feeding June noodles on the floor of an empty apartment among boxes

    Age 31

    June Best dinner we've ever had.

    No furniture yet. Didn't need any.

  7. Leo lifting his baby daughter, both smiling

    Age 33

    Leo She said it. She said “Dada.”

    She said it first to him.

  8. Leo and June cheering at their daughter's graduation

    Age 55

    Leo That's my girl! That's my girl!

    He cheered louder than anyone there.

  9. Leo blowing out birthday candles with two grandchildren and June

    Age 60

    Grandkids Make a wish, Grandpa!

    Sixty candles, two helpers.

  10. Leo telling a story at the dinner table to his grandchildren

    Age 70

    Leo And that is how I met your grandmother. Again.

    Everyone already knew the ending. Nobody cared.

  11. Leo and June, older, holding hands on a porch at dusk

    Age 78

    June We did alright, didn't we?

    Nothing left to say, so they didn't.

  12. A young woman with headphones smiling at her phone beside a framed photo of Leo

    Years later

    Leo Tell her I'm proud of her. Always.

    Years later, she can still hear him.
