Record meetings on Apple Watch

The Circleback app on Apple Watch lets you capture in-person meetings and conversations from your wrist, without your phone. It records audio only.

Getting started

1. Download the Circleback app on your iPhone from circleback.ai/mobile and log in to your account.
2. If Circleback isn't on your watch yet, open the Watch app on your iPhone, tap My Watch, and tap Install next to Circleback under Available Apps.
3. Open Circleback on your watch. You'll be logged in with the same account as your iPhone. If your watch asks you to log in, open Circleback on your iPhone.

Record a meeting

1. Open Circleback on your watch.
2. Tap Record, or select a meeting under Today. Selecting a meeting links the recording to the calendar event so you get the right meeting title and participant names.
3. To pause, tap Pause. Then tap Resume to keep recording, or Finish to end the recording.

While recording, you can tap the meeting name at the top of the screen to switch to a different meeting, or to New meeting if the recording isn't for a meeting on your calendar.

When you finish, your watch uploads the recording and you'll get notes, action items, and a transcript in Circleback. Recordings that are still uploading appear under Uploading.

Start recording from your watch face

Add the Circleback complication to your watch face to start recording with one tap.

1. Touch and hold the watch face, then tap Edit.
2. Swipe left to the complications, then tap the one you want to replace.

2. Tap Action Button, tap Action, and select Control.
