Private beta · iPhone, Mac and web
Spool records your day from the pendant, recorder, phone, watch and Mac you already own, and turns it into one timeline you can search and ask. Every answer links to the second it was said.
Two optional questions. Your answers help us decide who gets in first.
Thanks. We'll email you when your spot opens.
How it works
Each device hears part of your day. Spool transcribes all of it and lays it out on one timeline, with names on the voices it knows. If your pendant and your phone both heard the same chat, you see it once.
Keep wearing the pendant or carrying the Plaud. On days you don't, the iPhone, Apple Watch or Mac can record by themselves.
Spool splits the day into conversations and topics, recognizes voices you've named, and lines up audio from devices that heard the same thing.
Scroll the day, search a phrase, or ask a question. Each answer cites the moment it came from, and one tap takes you there.
What you get
Timeline
Each conversation shows who was there, how long it ran and what it covered. Star a moment while it's happening and come back to it later. The day starts at 4 AM by default, so a late night stays with the evening it belongs to.
Two devices, one conversation
Wear the pendant and record on your phone, and Spool joins the two recordings into one conversation with a channel per device. It lines the audio up, so you can play either device or both together.
Named speakers
Tag a speaker in any conversation and Spool learns the voice, then puts that name on their lines across your history. When a new voice keeps turning up, it asks you who it is.
Topics and recaps
An hour of talk is split where the subject changes, with subtopics inside. Every day gets a short written recap with what's still open, and so does every week. Each recap sentence links back to the lines it came from.
Ask
Spool searches your transcripts, people, places and meetings, writes a short answer and cites every claim. Tap a citation to jump to that line and play from that second. Try the numbers in the example.
Take 10 mg in the morning for two weeks, then go back for bloodwork . Some dizziness in the first few days is normal; call if it lasts past a week .
Spool records your mic and the call's audio as separate channels, keeps your notes with them, and writes a summary with decisions and to-dos when the call ends.
Lines in another language keep the original, with English underneath. That includes Nepali in Devanagari and typed in Latin letters, mixed into English.
Heart rate, steps and workouts sit next to what you were doing, so a recap can say when you were calm, worked up or out on a run.
To-dos from your conversations go to Apple Reminders. Check one off on any device and it's done everywhere.
Turn it on and Spool keeps the text of what was on your screen, so you can search it next to what was said. It's off until you switch it on.
Add Spool as a connector and ask Claude about your days. Claude gets read-only access, and only after you sign in and approve the connection.
Privacy
A recorder you wear all day has to be easy to edit. You can cut anything out after the fact, and location and screen history stay off until you turn them on.
