Whether you're sitting in a doctor’s office or debriefing with a physical therapist at home, care conversations are full of important details. Innerhive’s new automatic note-taking tool makes it easy to record, transcribe, and summarize those moments—so you never have to rely on memory alone.


Here’s how to get started, tips for beginners, and why it can be a game-changer for caregivers both near and far.


When to Use Innerhive's Note-Taking Tool

Pull Innerhive out anytime you want to capture key care conversations and turn them into clear, actionable notes. Common use cases for caregivers include:

  • Medical appointments (doctor visits, telehealth, therapy sessions)

  • Conversations with specialists, care managers, or pharmacists

  • Family meetings about care plans or transitions

  • In-home care check-ins or nurse visits

  • Care discussions you can’t personally attend (but someone else can record and share)

Whether you’re supporting a loved one in person or from afar, Innerhive helps everyone stay informed, aligned, and empowered.


📱 Innerhive Note-Taking: Step-by-Step

Step 1: Tap the Blue Microphone Button

When you’re ready to record a conversation, open the Innerhive app and tap the blue microphone icon.

Be sure to get permission from everyone in the room to record. Here are some suggested scripts for asking:

  • “Is it okay if I record this? I’m just trying to take better notes so I can follow through on everything.”

  • “Would you mind if I recorded this for my notes? It helps me stay on top of things.”

💡Tip: Put your device into "Do Not Disturb" or Silenced mode before recording! Incoming calls or notifications will pause your recording, so these settings will prevent disruptions.

If you do get interrupted by a call, just be sure to resume the recording after it ends!

Step 2: Tap 'Save' when Ready to End Recording

When the conversation is done, just tap "Save" in the recording drawer (or the now red recording button again) to end the recording and start processing!

Step 3: Review Your Instant Note Summary

In just seconds, Innerhive will generate:

  • ✨ An easy-to-read summary of the discussion

  • ✅ A list of action items (what to follow up on)

  • 📄 A full transcript

  • 🔊 An attached audio file for reference

No typing, no scrambling for details later. Just tap, go, and breathe easier.


🌟 Pro Tips After Recording!

Once your audio note is summarized, you can make it even more powerful:

  • Share with your support network: Follow the Set up community sharing! steps to keep family, friends, and care teams in the loop and aligned.

  • Add tags for easy organization: Tags make it simple to search, filter, and organize your notes. You’ll even see recommended tags to help you get started—like Medication, Follow-Up, or Questions for Doctor.


🔐 Privacy & Sharing: You’re in Control

Every note you record is set to private by default—only visible to you and other co-owners in your care recipient’s community.

Want to share with your wider support network? Simply:

  • Edit your note

  • Unmark it as private

  • See it shared with your trusted community to keep them updated and engaged

This is perfect for long-distance siblings, adult children, or close friends who want to help—but often feel out of the loop.


🌎 Use It When You Can’t Be There

You don’t have to be in the room to show your support. If someone else—like a sibling, partner, or professional caregiver—is with your loved one, they can record the conversation in Innerhive and share it with you. That means:

  • No more second-hand summaries, missed details, or forgotten questions

  • Everyone stays on the same page—save time with fewer back and forths!


Innerhive is here to help end caregiver burnout, one small win at a time.
Your time and energy matter. Let Innerhive note-taking do the heavy lifting, so you can focus on what matters most—being there.
