Pastok turns the conversations of your day into a memory you can actually search. You start capture from your wrist or your iPhone, and Pastok never starts listening on its own. Once you start a session, it keeps running in the background until you stop it, so you are not taking notes while you talk. HOW IT WORKS 1. Add Pastok to your Apple Watch face and start a session with one tap, or start one from your iPhone. 2. Record a quick thought, or let the session run through a walk, a commute, or a long conversation. 3. Pastok transcribes and organizes it. You review the result on iPhone or on the web. WHAT YOU GET BACK Clear summaries instead of raw transcripts Follow-ups and appointments pulled out of what was said, with contextual reminders Daily Highlights of what actually mattered Reflection on where your time and attention went Speaker separation in multi-person conversations Search by meaning, so you can find a conversation without remembering the exact words Chat with your own history, and ask it to look something up that came out of it PROGRAMMABLE MEMORY Custom Skills let you describe an analysis in plain language and have Pastok run it for you: on demand, on a schedule, or when it detects a situation you described. Output is Markdown or PDF. Custom diary sections keep the parts of your life you care about in their own place. WHERE THINGS LIVE Capture on Apple Watch or iPhone. Review on iPhone. Full transcripts, transcript export, and the complete view on the web app. ABOUT YOUR AUDIO Recordings are transcribed and analyzed on secure cloud infrastructure. Raw audio is deleted after processing and, by default, is kept no longer than 7 days. The transcripts and everything Pastok generates stay until you delete them or delete your account. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. LANGUAGES Transcription works in 110+ languages. The app interface is currently English only. ----------------------------------- Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
