How to Use Pocket (Start to Finish)
This guide matches the video step-by-step, so you can follow along without watching.
Step 1 — Record with Pocket
1) Use the main button (side button)
- Quick click once: starts recording
- Quick click again: stops recording
- Long press (5 seconds): turns Pocket on/off
2) Know what the light means
- Amber light = recording
- Blue light = stopped / ready
3) Choose the right recording mode (slider switch)
- Slider DOWN = Normal Mode (default)
- Best for everyday use: conversations, meetings, personal notes
- Attach it to your phone or place it nearby and record
- Slider UP = Call Mode
- For phone calls
- Designed to record calls clearly without speakerphone (works best when Pocket is attached to the back of your phone)
Call Mode quick checklist
- Slide switch UP (Call Mode)
- Start your call
- Click the main button once to start recording (amber light)
- Click again to stop (blue light)
- Slide switch DOWN to return to Normal Mode
Step 2 — Connect + Sync to the Pocket App
If Pocket was already connected while you recorded
- Your recording should appear in the app automatically, and Pocket will start processing it.
If Pocket wasn’t connected while recording
- Open the Pocket app with Pocket nearby
- Pocket will auto-connect via Bluetooth
- Tap Sync (top-right) to import your recordings
- When sync finishes, Pocket will automatically process + summarize everything
Step 3 — Review Your Notes (Summary + Mind Map)
After Pocket finishes processing, you’ll see:
- A summary of the conversation
- Main points and important next steps
- Tap into a conversation to view it as an easy-to-understand mind map
Basic workflow recap:
Record → Connect → Sync → Pocket organizes everything
Optional: Faster Transfers for Big Syncs (Pocket Wi-Fi)
If you have long recordings or many files at once, use Pocket’s faster Wi-Fi transfer:
- Make sure Pocket is connected in the app
- Tap Uploading Files
- Choose Connect to Pocket’s Wi-Fi
- Let the transfer complete (faster than Bluetooth)
That’s it: record something, sync it, and Pocket handles the rest.
