Follow this guide to configure your environment and capture your first thought.

​
1. Configure Audio

Before you start, ensure Algorhythm is listening to the right source.
  1. Locate the Microphone Menu in the top-right corner of the window.
  2. Click to select your preferred input device (e.g., MacBook Pro Microphone, AirPods).
  3. Optional: Toggle Studio Mode (waveform icon) for high-fidelity recording (48kHz stereo), perfect for meetings or detailed voice notes.
Studio Mode uses higher bandwidth but delivers crystal-clear audio quality, ideal for accurately transcribing technical terms or multi-speaker conversations.

​
2. Capture Your First Note

  1. Click the large Red Record Button or double-press the global hotkey (default: fn).
  2. Speak naturally. Algorhythm uses advanced speech recognition to handle pauses and corrections.
  3. When finished, click the Stop button.

​
3. Review

Once recording stops, your transcript will appear automatically.
  • Transcription: Your speech is instantly transcribed.
  • Edit: Make manual corrections if needed. The editor feels just like a standard text editor.

4. Ask the Agent

  1. Switch to Chat Mode (or press Cmd+K to open the Command Palette).
  2. Ask the Agent: “What did I say about the project timeline?”
  3. The Agent will search your notes and provide a contextual answer.
