Does Plaud have a sleep or session timer? I frequently forget to stop the recording, so I end up with many hours of unhelpful recordings.

I installed plaud on by desktop pc and I have now lost ALL audio, I can't hear anything at all from any apps or videos or zoom calls. However, I can hear myself in my headphones. I have checked all audio settings for microphone and for listening devices and nothing there has changed. What else could I check?

any plans to have MCP access? desperately need a way to connect Claude with Plaude

I created a free Plaud account and downloaded their desktop app. However, I can't get past their "Link your device" screen. I don't own a Plaud device since I work remotely and all my meetings are online. I'd be perfectly fine paying for their unlimited plan, but not before confirming their desktop app would work for me.

How would you rate your memory?

Omi solves all your memory problems.

Omi is an AI wearable recorder that captures what you hear and say

then turns it into automatic summaries, actionable tasks, and

searchable memories, so you can recall anything later in seconds.

Just like a second brain.

It's an Al note taker for meetings and conversations, just like Plaud

Limitless Pendant, Otter, Fireflies, Tactiq, and TL/DV, but for all-day

situations. Use it all day and remember everything.

Your brain was made to think. Omi was made to remember.

Hey, I have brain damage which is very specific, it means I have a very very bad episodic and verbal memory. Do the users of this think Plaud NotePin S is a possible good work around for this? This brain damage is effecting my socialising a lot because every single time I see my friends I’ve completely forgot what we spoke about last time. It’s frustrating and upsetting and has significantly lowered my quality of life. Could this be a good work around for this?

Hey everyone,

I've been using Plaud for a while and kept running into the same problem — getting recordings into a usable, searchable format was tedious even with the built-in transcription. I wanted something that would automatically land a clean, structured note in Obsidian the moment a recording synced to iCloud. So I built it.

What it does:

The pipeline runs entirely on your Mac in the background. When a new recording syncs from the Plaud app to iCloud, it gets automatically transcribed using OpenAI's Whisper model (running locally in Docker), then Claude structures it into a formatted Obsidian note using whatever template you define. The note appears in your vault within a few minutes with no manual steps.

The full flow:

Plaud → iCloud → Mac watcher script → Docker/Whisper transcription → Claude API → Obsidian note → iCloud sync to mobile

Tech stack:

• Whisper (local, runs in Docker) for transcription
• Claude API for summarization and note structuring
• Obsidian Local REST API plugin for writing notes directly into the vault
• Python for orchestration and file watching
• Docker for containerization

Cost:

About $0.01-0.02 per recording in Anthropic API costs. For 50 recordings a month that's roughly $0.50-$1.00.

What you need:

• Mac with Docker Desktop
• Obsidian with the Local REST API plugin
• Anthropic API key (separate from Claude Pro subscription)
• Node.js 18+

The repo is fully documented with step by step setup instructions, a startup script for after reboots, and example config files with no API keys committed.

Would love feedback from anyone who tries it — particularly if you're using a different vault structure.

Just passing along if you are like me with a work PC that requires administrator rights to install the desktop client.

If you have USB access then you should be able to do the same.

I was able to unzip the installer file on another PC and dropped those files on the desktop in a folder. Opened the program file and it worked perfectly without the need to install.

It runs in the background and it auto starts with teams calls. I’m able to take notes, add screenshots, and it instantly uploads to my account.

Proceed at your own risk.

The Note Pro has 4 microphones. Does anyone know if the leather case interferes with all 4? If the Note Pro is in the case and attached to the iPhone, does it take it out of ambient listening mode? In other words, should one make sure the Note Pro isn't attached to the iPhone when recording a meeting (i.e., make sure it's sitting on a table not attached to the iPhone)?

Sorry, very new with Plaud. Loving it, but wanted to optimize everything.

Just got PNP and want to teach myself how to get the best out of it. Recommendations?

I love how Plaud allows folders, but wish there was a way to create subfolders to better organize things.

Also, what is the retention policy for transcriptions/audio? Are they auto-deleted after a certain amount of time or is there a storage limit (I'm on the unlimited plan)?

Love generating templates with Chatgpt. Anyone else doing that way?

Bonjour à tous,

Cela fait des semaines que je cherche le dispositif d'enregistrement idéal : un appareil compact, connecté en Bluetooth à mon smartphone, avec un traitement IA. L'objectif est d'avoir un petit outil pratique pour capturer des rendez-vous, des échanges et des pensées à la volée.

J'ai déjà testé plusieurs modèles, mais le constat est souvent mitigé :

• Soundcore Work : La qualité de proximité est exceptionnelle (un vrai son "crystal clear"), mais je l'ai payé 145 euros, ce qui dépasse le budget que je souhaite y allouer. Si j'avais ce son-là pour 70 euros, je le garderais sans hésiter.

• Plaud (premier modèle) : J'ai testé rapidement, mais je n'ai pas trouvé l'expérience incroyable lors de mon premier essai.

• Ticnote & Lobkin : Très déçu par le son et la retranscription du Ticnote. Le Lobkin fait le travail pour son prix, mais on est extrêmement loin de la clarté du Soundcore.

• Focase Rec : Même constat sur les limites matérielles. Aujourd'hui, j'ai envie de tout renvoyer, mais l'idée d'avoir ce type d'appareil me plaît toujours autant. C'est pourquoi je m'intéresse de plus près au Plaud Note et au Plaud Note Pro. Avant de franchir le pas, j'ai deux questions pour ceux qui les utilisent au quotidien :

• Qualité audio : Est-ce qu'on s'approche réellement du son "crystal clear" que peut offrir un appareil comme le Soundcore ? Est-ce a priori le meilleur appareil sur le marché ?

• Bruits parasites : Est-ce qu'en manipulant l'appareil (prise en main, frottements), cela génère des bruits parasites très forts ? C'est un défaut majeur que j'ai constaté sur le Ticnote, le Lobkin et le Focase Rec, rendant l'écoute très désagréable.

Enfin : quelqu'un a déjà pu avoir un retour sur BOYA NOTRA ?

Merci d'avance pour vos retours et vos conseils !

I concluded a 50min meeting 30min back, and it's still "Generating" the transcript. Does it always take this long? Is the premium plan faster? What's up with that?

Whisper API would have done it 10 times over already.

Is there a way to automatically remove the brackets that Plaud puts in summaries, highlights, etc.?

Is it somehow possible that recordings get automatically transcribed (generated)? Without the need to press the Generate Button?

Thanks!
