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.
