📂 Managing Folders

Add Waves to Folders

  • From List View: Swipe -> Add to Folder

  • From Details Screen: Tap the folder icon

  • Tap the pencil icon

    • Rename

    • Change color

    • Delete (⚠️ recordings remain in your library as "unsorted")

Swipe to remove a session from a folder.

Deleting a session in a folder, deletes it entirely.

  • Tap a folder to see all included Waves.

  • Folder view shows total recordings.

  • Tap the back arrow to return to all folders.


⚡ Power Features

🗂️ Unsorted Filter

  • View all recordings not yet in a folder

  • Perfect for regular cleanup

  • Find it in the filter bar on the home screen

💬 Chat with Entire Folders

Chat with AI about every recording in a folder — like having a summary assistant for your entire project or meeting series.

How:

  1. Go to the Chat screen

  2. Tap the session selector

  3. Select a folder instead of a single recording

  4. Ask your question!

Example Prompts:

  • “Summarize all decisions from these meetings”

  • “What action items came out of this project?”

  • “What themes show up in my journal entries?”

The AI uses transcripts from all recordings in that folder to generate a holistic response.


🧩 Folder Best Practices

Smart Ways to Organize

  • By Project: e.g., “Q3 Marketing Push”

  • By Type: Meetings, Personal, Ideas, Lectures

  • By Time: Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly

  • By Priority: To-Dos, Reference, Archive

Tips for Staying Organized

  • Use names that make sense weeks or months later

  • Use similar colors for related content

  • Review your Unsorted recordings regularly

  • Avoid over-organizing: aim for 5–15 main folders


⚠️ Folder Notes & Limitations

  • A recording can be in multiple folders at the same time

  • Deleting a folder does not delete its recordings, but deleting a recording from a folder, does delete it entirely.

  • Folder names/colors can be edited anytime

  • Unlimited folders – syncs across all your devices
