Fieldy 3 or OneMira C1?
Compare Fieldy 3 ($129 wearable pendant, 150 free min/mo, no raw audio storage, and $15.99–$19.99/mo Unlimited plan) with OneMira C1’s $0/mo Local AI, Speaker ID, and WAV audio retention.
What changes with C1
Fieldy 3 is an always-on cloud pendant that caps free usage at 150 minutes/month, requires a live phone Bluetooth/internet link, and deletes raw audio ("no second chances" if a quote is misheard). OneMira C1 Works Standalone with one press, includes unlimited $0/mo Local AI and Speaker ID with Zero Cloud dependency, and lets you keep original stereo WAV audio whenever exact wording matters.

Which experience do you want?
When Fieldy 3 is the Better Choice
- You want a 17 g wearable neck pendant or watch-strap mount that continuously logs daily thoughts and tasks over a phone Bluetooth and internet connection.
- You do not need to save or replay original audio files.
- Your monthly recording stays under 150 voice-detected minutes on the Free tier, or you plan to subscribe to Fieldy Unlimited ($15.99–$19.99/month).
- You prefer an always-on mobile task-reminder feed rather than intentional one-press recording with a local Markdown Wiki.
Choose C1 for the way you want to work
- Stay with the conversation: press once to record, keep your phone free, and see the turntable move while capture is active.
- Make useful notes on your own computer: included local AI creates meeting notes and mind maps after setup, with no OneMira account or subscription.
- Keep building on what you said: editable Markdown and a connected Wiki keep past conversations useful. Retain stereo WAV audio when you want to listen back.
Use OneMira Desktop on Mac or Windows for transcription and AI notes. Mac headphone-call capture requires macOS 14.2 or later and the documented setup. See the setup guide
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Fieldy 3 require a monthly subscription compared with OneMira C1?
Fieldy 3’s Free tier includes 150 voice-detected transcription minutes per month (about 2.5 hours). Recording more than 150 minutes per month or unlocking full exports and unlimited AI chat requires Fieldy’s Unlimited Membership at $15.99/month billed yearly (~$192/year) or $19.99/month. OneMira C1 includes unlimited local transcription, Speaker ID, and built-in Local AI notes with $0/month subscription fees.
Can Fieldy 3 play back original audio recordings if the AI mishears a number?
No. Fieldy transcribes speech in real time in the cloud and does not save raw audio files, meaning you cannot listen back if a name, number, or task is misheard. OneMira C1 gives you a setting to retain original 16 kHz stereo WAV audio locally alongside your transcript.
Does Fieldy 3 work standalone without a phone internet connection?
Fieldy 3 relies on a Bluetooth connection to your smartphone and an internet connection for cloud AI processing. OneMira C1 Works Standalone with 32 GB onboard storage (up to 30 hours of continuous recording) and processes recordings with built-in Local AI without requiring cloud uploads.
How does speaker attribution compare between Fieldy 3 and OneMira C1?
Because Fieldy 3 is worn as a continuous ambient pendant, users frequently report that background chatter or nearby voices can be misattributed as personal tasks. OneMira C1 uses intentional one-press recording with a visible rotating cue and automatic Speaker ID to separate participants in structured meetings and calls.
