Moments Now available

While a recording made in KolHive runs, each line you type in Quick Notes remembers the moment you started it. Later, tap the small sound mark beside the line and the recording opens a few seconds before that moment and plays, so you hear what was being said when you wrote it.

## Questions and answers

**How do I link my notes to a recording?**

Record in the app and type your lines in Quick Notes while it runs. Each line remembers the moment you started it, and the small sound mark beside it opens the recording a few seconds earlier and plays.

**Can I record on one device and write on another?**

Yes, when both are signed in to the same account, such as a phone on the table and a laptop. The devices do not talk to each other for this: the note and the recording each keep their own times.

**Which recordings and notes work?**

Recordings made in the app, from the version that has Moments on, and lines typed in Quick Notes. Imported audio and older recordings are not included, and KolDoc documents are not linked yet. A photo or file added during a recording offers the same way to hear that moment.

**Is Moments free, and does it use AI?**

It is free, runs on your device and uses no AI. It is part of KolHive and of KolWrite's recorder, and meetings recorded in KolWrite count too.
