Pearl listens to your day so you don't have to remember it. Start it in the morning and forget about it. Pearl runs on your wrist, captures the conversations you actually have, and turns them into something you can ask questions of later. Not a recorder you have to remember to press. Not notes you have to write. Just your day, kept. ASK IT ANYTHING Double tap your fingers and speak. Pearl listens until you stop, then answers out of what it heard you say โ who you promised what, the name you forgot, the thing your sister said about August. What was said most recently counts most, the way memory actually works. When the answer isn't in your day, Pearl goes and finds it. It knows where you are, so "somewhere to eat around here" means something. BUILT TO BE TRUSTED Recording people is not a small thing, so Pearl is deliberate about it. The gem on the watch face is lit whenever Pearl is listening and grey when it is not โ a recording is never a secret from the person across the table. Audio is transcribed and then deleted; it is never stored. Your conversations are yours, readable by no one else, and you can erase every trace of them from inside the app in one tap. There is no sign-up. No name, no email, no password. Pearl gives itself a random key on your device and that is the whole of your account. WHAT IT'S FOR The meeting you half-remember. The name you were told twice. The idea you had walking home that was gone by the time you sat down. The promise you made on Tuesday that mattered on Friday. Jewelry that you can trust. โ Requires an Apple Watch and an iPhone. Double tap requires Apple Watch Series 9 or later on watchOS 11 or later.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pearl at none against CatAuth's 3. CatAuth's advantage is iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
