The company sells a $129 credit card-shaped puck that attaches to the back of a phone to record and transcribe conversations offline, with no subscription required for basic use. Having sold over 130,000 units since launch, Pocket targets professionals like lawyers, doctors, and salespeople who need real-world (not just online meeting) transcription. A $200/year plan unlocks unlimited AI summaries and assistant queries. Enterprise features include webhook support, integrations with Google Calendar, Obsidian, Claude, Cursor, and an MCP server. The company competes with both software players like Otter and Fireflies and hardware rivals like Plaud. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
