🎙️ Recording & Transcription

Wearable Devices

Device Notes
Limitless Pendant https://www.limitless.ai/ Wear it to record everything. Note: Meta acquired it — Dave modified the Bluetooth protocol so it sends data directly to his computer instead of Meta’s servers.
Bee Computer https://bee.computer/ Alternative wearable recorder. Only available for purchase in US.
Legend Memory
http://legendmemoryai.com/ Another wearable option.

⚠️ Always let people know you’re recording. At a public event like a meetup, it’s generally fine.

Desktop Recording Apps

App Notes
Granola https://www.granola.ai/ Dave’s top pick. Shows real-time transcript during meetings. Copy the live transcript mid-meeting and paste into Claude Desktop to instantly diagram something you can’t explain.
Amie https://amie.so/ Another solid recording app, running alongside Granola.
Little Bird
https://littlebird.ai/ Records your screen activity (mouse movement, app usage). Ask it “how much time have I wasted this past two weeks?” or “what am I building, what drives me?” — it maps your whole computer life.
Screen Pipe https://screenpi.pe/ Free, open-source alternative to Little Bird.

🎤 Voice Input

Tool Price Notes
Hyper Whisper https://www.hyperwhisper.com/en $40 lifetime Dave’s top pick. Press one key, speak, let go — text appears anywhere. Records audio too.
Wisprflow https://wisprflow.ai/ $140/year Good but pricier than Hyper Whisper.
Super Whisper http://superwhisper.com/ Another option in the same category.
