Limitless AI Voice Recorder

The hardware is well made. Their are some fixable software issues that are not deal breakers. I lose some conversations and meetings that are just missed by the pendant. The app seems overloaded sometimes with more data than it can process - it is just constantly churning and updating. When it starts churning I know it is about to lose data. Their is a glitch here they need to figure out. It would be cool if the software had integration with Apple’s Journaling app so it would create automatic journal entries for me every night. It’s a work in progress and I think the software will get better with time. I’m happy with it overall given it’s a small business and it is very hard and expensive to launch both hardware and software at the same time. I think it will eventually come together.

I backed this project about a year ago at this point and I feel like my experience as someone who was an early supporter of the pendant has not been up to par. Specifically there was no transparency around the fact that I would have to pay at minimum $20 a month for my pendant to even be useful given that the transcription minutes are consumed passively by just random noise, there's no student discount or anything available, and the app itself is quite buggy with some features like AI chat not being functional at all. The core concept of recording everything and having it transcribed is really great and I think this has been more useful than I anticipated it would be, but it just makes me think that everything on top of this layer (search, organization, chat) has not been executed well. I would gladly pay for the subscription if all of these things worked well: if the interface for viewing in the conversations were better and if whatever kind of segmentation of the conversations they do behind the scenes were cleaner, but right now it is kind of just a mess. Sometimes I will have one conversation that is split into multiple blocks, making it even more confusing when I have to scroll through all of them, and then the organization features that are supposed to make it so you don't have to scroll through everything are just not functional. on the other hand I would be totally fine with the current shortcomings if there weren't this subscription that is necessary to use the hardware at all.

Old Rewind Pro yearly plan just downgraded to 6000 min per month, 3.3 hrs per 30 days, 5hrs costs $1. Eek! VERY overpriced, comparable for meetings on Mac, but useless for Pendent without spending far far more. (Account broke for a day for old users, they had to manually reconnect us) App is very basic, UX doesn’t even allow notes, and UI looks like a notepad. No integration with ecosystem, no support outside a few basic services, must have Google Calendar. Not a good alternative to Bee, Otter, or even Apple Notes which can do all of this and more at their free tiers. Cannot even change models like SuperWhisper or go offline. Price changes, high prices, barely usable app, do not recommend at all. High price, no features to justify it for an overpriced digital recorder (pendant) that’s locked down. Better to run Apple Notes and buy a wireless mic. Also just saw that their price for the lapel recorder Pendant is $499! This is Humane AI levels of junk. I paid $59 on an $89 regular price, shipping costs later snuck in after purchase, they modified my receipt years later to show fake regular price of $199. Support, this all looks like a giant scam. You all are joking with a near 1000% markup for essentially a locked down Bluetooth digital recorder that can’t even be used with other apps, right? Also, trying to delete out all my data to abandon this, and app refuses to delete history now after my account was reconnected to billing correctly.
