10:42Doc1.21 gigawatts!? That's what it takes.
MeSo, Thursday at the clock tower?
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.
A pendant, a Plaud, your iPhone, Watch and Mac. Spool records from all of them, so there is nothing new to buy.
The iPhone app connects to the pendant over Bluetooth and copies the audio straight off it.
Recordings from the Note and the NotePin sync in on their own and land at the time they were made.
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.
The Mac records its mic and the system audio, so both sides of a call land in the transcript.
Each device records on its own clock. Spool lays the pieces out in the order they happened.
The pendant all day, the Plaud in a meeting, the Watch on a walk, a call on the Mac.
Every piece lands where it happened, whichever device recorded it. Scroll the day and it reads in order.
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.
Each answer cites the line it came from. Click a citation and the conversation opens there and plays.
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 .
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.
Each sentence in an answer cites a specific line in a specific conversation. If there is no source, the sentence is left out.
The conversation opens on that line and the audio starts at that second, on whichever device heard it best.
Names, topics, notes and reminders, built from what your devices heard.
Name a voice once. Spool knows it from then on, on every device and in every answer.
Long talks split where the subject changes, each with a title and a summary.
Record a call. Get the decisions, to-dos and follow-ups when it ends.
The beta is English-only. Later, lines in other languages get an English line underneath.
Heart rate, HRV and steps beside what was happening, if you allow it.
Promises made out loud become reminders, synced both ways with Apple Reminders.
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.
Delete any range, any time, from every device that heard it.
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.
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.
Every page, recording and answer sits behind your sign-in. Screen history and Apple Health stay off until you turn them on.

Prices are US list prices on the date checked and change often. Spool's own column describes the private beta as shipped on October 26, 2026. "Reported" means a figure from one outlet that the company's own page did not confirm when we checked. Spot a mistake? Tell us in the note field after you sign up.
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.
Yes. The iPhone, Apple Watch and Mac each record on their own, and the Mac can record both sides of a call.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
No. Spool doesn't train models on your recordings. They are transcribed, indexed and used to answer your own questions.
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
Spool keeps them: what was said, who said it, and when. So you can go back.
Leo is fictional and the photos are illustrations.
Leo One day we're gonna miss this parking lot.
Summer, a parking lot, nowhere to be.
Leo Sorry. I had a whole thing planned to say.
The night he met June and forgot how to talk.
Leo I'm telling you, this is gonna work.
3 AM, cold pizza, the people who stayed up with him.
Everyone It works. It actually works!
The second it finally worked.
Best man So. The first time Leo met June, he walked into a door.
His best friend told the story he hoped nobody would.
June Best dinner we've ever had.
No furniture yet. Didn't need any.
Leo She said it. She said “Dada.”
She said it first to him.
Leo That's my girl! That's my girl!
He cheered louder than anyone there.
Grandkids Make a wish, Grandpa!
Sixty candles, two helpers.
Leo And that is how I met your grandmother. Again.
Everyone already knew the ending. Nobody cared.
June We did alright, didn't we?
Nothing left to say, so they didn't.
Leo Tell her I'm proud of her. Always.
Years later, she can still hear him.
