And so this has to be charged frequently in order to just maintain this coordination with the holiday glasses.

That's not very effective.

Okay.

Out comes something called the Index 01.

and it's named index of course because you're supposed to wear it on your index finger like this in order to allow your thumb to be in position to press the activator but it takes a totally different approach and instead of being a smart ring it's a dumb ring okay and this ring has only one function you press and record

a voice note that gets then transcribed by your phone app on the Index01 phone app and added to notes.

Okay, so you can add it to Notes out of the box, and I use Notes every day.

In fact, to decide what I'm going to actually talk about on this show, I use the Notes application within the Mac OS, which is also on iOS, right?

And it syncs between those two.

So I can be, if I come across something during the day, I can add it to my Notes app,

on the phone and it shows up on my mac os version of notes it's synced so that's really convenient so i use notes every day well this index-01 ring that's coming out will be like this one but the only thing it has in it is a microphone and a hearing aid battery you never charge it

But it's advertised to be good for a couple of years, a total of 14 hours of recording, which doesn't sound like a lot.

But if you're just doing, you know, like a 15 second voice note, 14 hours, you know, that probably stretches out over, you know, at least a year or so.

And it's only $75 right now, and it'll be $99 when it goes off of its initial promotion.

But you're not going to recharge it.

You just have to toss it out and get a new one.

But all it does is record a voice note.

But in its integration with the Notes application, you can also ask it to set a reminder for you.

In your calendar, you can create an alarm and you can create a timer.

It also says you can play, pause, and skip your music application if you want to.
