Recording notes

A recording note is a solo capture—your screen and mic, or just your voice—that becomes a first-class page in your vault. Talk through a bug repro, narrate a walkthrough, or leave yourself a voice memo. When you stop, Hyprcore transcribes it, writes a structured document from what you said, and breaks it into chapters you can jump to.

Recording notes reuse the meeting capture and transcription pipeline, but they're built for one person. There's no calendar snapshot, no live summary, and no attendee list—just you, the recording, and the page it produces.

What you get

When a recording finishes processing, the page holds:

• A media player—video for a screen recording, an audio player for a voice-only capture.

• An AI-generated doc (the ## Doc section): a clean, third-person write-up of everything you covered, with headings, paragraphs, and step lists. It never invents facts and keeps your original language.

• A chapter list (the ## Chapters section): timestamped [mm:ss] entries the model derives from the transcript. Click one to seek the player.

• A transcript panel alongside the player. Click any line to jump the player to that moment.

• A Notes section (## Notes) that's yours to type in—untouched by generation.

Everything renders on one page: player on top, the editable doc body below, and the chapters plus transcript in a side panel.

Start a recording

Open the recorder

Start a new recording note from the vault. Choose a destination folder if you want—otherwise it lands in Inbox.

Pick screen or audio-only

Toggle Record video on to capture your screen, or leave it off for a voice-only recording. Screen recording needs macOS Screen Recording permission; audio-only just uses your mic and system audio.

Give it a title (optional)

Type a name, or leave it blank. If you leave it blank, Hyprcore names the file from the timestamp and then auto-titles the page from what you said once processing finishes.

Record, then stop

Talk through whatever you're capturing. When you stop, Hyprcore tears down capture, mixes and transcribes the audio in the background, then runs the doc pass.

What happens on stop

After you stop, Hyprcore works in the background:

1. Finishes mixing and (for screen recordings) muxing the media, then batch-transcribes the audio.

2. Auto-titles the page—but only if you never named it. A title you typed is always kept.

3. Runs the Recording Doc pass: one model call that returns the ## Doc write-up and the ## Chapters outline together.

4. Writes both sections to the page and stamps when the doc was generated.

The doc and chapters are managed sections, so re-running never disturbs your Notes. If you'd rather generate on demand, the page shows a Generate doc button until a doc exists; you can also re-run it later to refresh the write-up.

Note: Doc generation uses your post-processing provider and model, set in Settings → Models → Post-processing—the same one meetings use. On Hyprcore Cloud it costs tokens.

Where it lives

A recording note is a folder in your vault—by default under Inbox, or wherever you chose when you started. Inside sit the page (index.md, with kind: recording in its frontmatter), the transcript, and the media file. The page is indexed and searchable like any other vault page.

Editing

The doc body is a normal editor—rewrite headings, fix a step, add a screenshot description. Edits autosave. Because generation refuses to clobber unsaved changes, you can safely tidy the doc while nothing gets overwritten underneath you. Rename the page from its title, and it stays a first-class page you can link to and share.

Tip: Chapters and transcript lines are both seekable. Skimming a long walkthrough? Click through the chapter list to land on the exact moment, then read the transcript around it.
