See your day at a glance with Insights

Updated 16 Aug 2026 · Web

Insights is a web-only view that maps your recordings onto the clock: one 24-hour dial per day, with each recording drawn at the time it happened. The page's own words: "Your day, mapped in time." It answers "what did my Tuesday actually look like" the way a list of titles can't.

How do I open Insights?

In the web app's sidebar, choose Insights (it lives at /insights). There's no equivalent screen in the iOS or Android apps — this is one of the web's extras, like Analytics.

How do I read the dial?

The dial is a 24-hour clock face for a single day — 12am at one pole, 12pm at the other — and each recording appears as an arc at the hour it took place, sized by its duration. Around the dial you see the day's totals: how many recordings and how much time was recorded that day.

  • Jump into a recording — select its arc to open it, notes and all.
  • Change days — step backward and forward one day at a time (Previous day / Next day).
  • Empty days — a day without recordings says so: "Nothing recorded on this day."

Because the dial shows time-of-day, patterns show up that lists hide: back-to-back meeting blocks, the gap where lunch used to be, the late-evening voice memos.

What counts as being "on" a day?

A recording appears on the day it was recorded — including notetaker meetings and imported audio, which lands on the day of import. Everything you have in your library is eligible; there's no separate opt-in.

Is Insights visible to anyone else?

No. Insights is computed from your own library view and shown to you only. Sharing a recording or a Space shares that content — it never shares your Insights, day patterns, or usage.

FAQ

Why is a meeting missing from the dial?

Check that it's actually in your library — a meeting the notetaker never recorded, or a recording that failed to upload, won't appear anywhere, Insights included. See My recording is lost or silent.

Can I see a week or month at once?

Insights is deliberately one day at a time. For aggregates over longer periods — total time recorded, streaks, busiest day — use Analytics, which covers exactly that.

Will Insights come to the phone apps?

There's nothing to configure or sync — it's a different lens on the same library — but today the page exists only on the web at usecanto.com.
