How do I activate OneMira C1?

Install OneMira Desktop, pair C1, prepare local transcription and generation, and choose optional model-service or agent connections.

How do I power on C1?

In powered-off state, press and hold the Multi-Function Button for 3 seconds. The white LED lights up to indicate power-on and remains solid for 5 seconds.

First time? The battery ships partially charged:
  • Connect the included USB-C cable and charge to 100% before your first session.
  • The LED glows solid red while charging. When charging ends and C1 is idle, the status LED turns off.
  • A full charge takes about 2 hours.

How do I install the desktop app?

The desktop app guides you through the rest of the activation. Download and install it on your Mac or Windows computer:

Go to Downloads โ†’

System requirements:
  • macOS 12+ (Apple Silicon or Intel) or Windows 10/11 (64-bit).
  • The desktop app requires Bluetooth permission to discover and pair with your C1 device.

How do I pair and activate C1?

Start with pairing and local transcription. You can generate notes in Desktop with the built-in local model; connecting an external agent is optional.

Connect Context Device

First, make sure your computer's Bluetooth is enabled.
Then, put your C1 into pairing mode: while powered on, press and hold the Multi-Function Button for 3 seconds. Release after the white LED lights up; the white LED flashes for 60 seconds to indicate pairing mode.
Finally, click "Search for C1 Device" in the app.

The app scans for nearby C1 devices over Bluetooth. Once found, it connects and establishes a secure binding. If your device has a 6-digit binding passcode, enter it when prompted.

Deploy the local ASR engine

Local ASR model runs on the paired desktop app; no internet is needed after the initial download.

  1. Supported transcription languages: 99 languages. Availability and accuracy vary by language, accent and recording conditions.
  2. Click "Deploy Transcription Engine". The model must be downloaded before offline transcription.
  3. Wait for the progress bar to reach 100%. The app shows real-time download logs and the deployment percentage.
Local-First Architecture:
  • The transcription model runs locally on your computer.
  • OneMira transcription runs locally. Data sent later to a third-party AI client follows that client’s configuration and terms.
  • After the model download completes, local transcription does not require a cloud subscription or network connection.

Connect an AI agent (optional)

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is how your AI tools access local context from the physical world. Compatible AI agents can use selected local context through the documented files, CLI, and MCP workflow.

  1. The app automatically scans your computer for supported AI tools.
  2. Follow the app's AI access flow to write the MCP configuration into each detected tool.

Manual setup? If your AI tool isn't auto-detected:
  • Go to Settings โ†’ MCP in the desktop app.
  • Copy the MCP JSON snippet.
  • Paste the snippet into your AI tool's configuration file manually.

Device Binding Passcode

After activation completes, the app offers to set a 6-digit binding passcode on your device.
This passcode is only required when pairing the C1 with a new computer โ€” it prevents unauthorized pairing or access.

You can skip this step during initial setup and configure it later from Settings โ†’ Device โ†’ Security in the desktop app.

Device Power Off

While powered on, press and hold the Multi-Function Button. The white LED lights up at 3 seconds; continue holding until 8 seconds to power off without entering pairing mode upon release.
Once powered off, briefly clicking the button has no response (the device must be powered on again via a 3-second long press).

You’re All Set

Your C1 is now activated and ready. Here’s what happens next:

  • The turntable slowly rotates when recording is active โ€” a calm, visible cue to everyone in the room.
  • You choose in Settings whether to retain original audio. Cleanup of temporary device-side transfer slices is separate from this choice.
  • Transcripts stay in local Markdown files. Generate notes in Desktop with its built-in local model, or optionally connect model services and agents.
