The microphone is already in your pocket.
Plaud makes AI recorders: a card or a pin you buy, charge and carry next to your phone. Starlog is the app on the phone you already have, and on every other phone in the room.
Three things you never have to do.
Nothing to buy
Starlog runs on the phone and computer you have. Start with 30 days free, no card.
Plaud: US$159 to US$189 for a recorder when checked, before any plan.Nothing extra to charge
Your phone is charged anyway. There is no second battery to keep alive before a meeting.
Plaud: its own battery, 20 to 30 hours of recording, then back on the charger.Nothing to forget
You never leave for a meeting without your phone. When something important is said, you can record it.
Plaud: one more thing to remember on the way out.Every phone in the room makes the notes better.
One recorder hears the room from one spot. With Starlog, everyone who joins records on their own phone, and Starlog merges them into one transcript that knows who said what. The quiet voice at the far end of the table is close to someone's phone.
Only where they differ.
Both record conversations and turn them into summaries and tasks. This is what is different. Plaud's facts as its own website shows them, checked on 7 October 2026.

Before you choose
Do I need anything besides my phone?
No. Starlog runs on the phone you already have, in the browser or installed as an app, and on a computer for calls. A second phone in the room joins the same meeting by scanning a code, no account needed.
Does Starlog record with the screen off?
Not yet on every phone. On Android, the web app keeps recording through calls and app switches, and its Black screen button keeps it recording while the screen looks off. Apps for iPhone and Android that record with the screen off are on the way.
Is my audio used to train AI?
Never anyone else's. Recordings in your own private space help improve Starlog's own transcription unless you turn it off in Settings; company and team meetings are never used. See privacy.
Can I try Starlog today?
Starlog opens in small groups. Join the waiting list and we write when it is your turn. Every account starts with 30 days free.
