Flowtica Scribe or OneMira C1?
Compare Flowtica Scribe’s 34.5 g AI recording pen, 300-minute Advanced AI cap (for Speaker ID and summaries), and $15–$30/mo plans with OneMira C1’s $0/mo Local AI and Speaker ID.
What changes with C1
Flowtica Scribe is built for paper handwriting + iOS app sync, but locks Speaker ID, structured summaries, and action-item extraction behind a 300-minute/month Advanced AI cap ($15–$30/mo above 5 hours). OneMira C1 includes unlimited Speaker ID, built-in Local AI summaries, action items, a Zero Cloud OKF Wiki, and computer headphone-call capture for $0/month—with no pen ink refills to maintain.

Which experience do you want?
When Flowtica Scribe is the Better Choice
- You want a 34.5 g functional gel-ink pen that records while you write on paper and flags moments with its FlowMark button.
- You regularly use Snap It inside the Flowtica mobile app to photograph handwritten notebook pages.
- Your monthly need for Speaker ID, structured summaries, and Ask Flowtica stays within the 300-minute Advanced AI cap (or you plan to add a $15–$30/month tier).
- You do not need computer headphone-call capture or a local MCP/Markdown Wiki workflow.
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 Flowtica Scribe charge a monthly subscription for Speaker ID and AI summaries?
Flowtica Scribe includes free standard transcription, but multi-speaker identification, structured summaries, to-do extraction, and Ask Flowtica draw from a 300-minute monthly Advanced AI allowance (5 hours/month). Heavy users who need more than 300 minutes per month of Speaker ID and AI summaries must upgrade to a paid tier (~$15 to $30/month). OneMira C1 includes unlimited Speaker ID and built-in Local AI summaries with $0/month subscription fees.
How does Flowtica Scribe compare with OneMira C1 for online and headphone meetings?
Flowtica Scribe is a physical writing pen that syncs with a smartphone app and cannot capture far-end audio when you wear AirPods or headphones on a computer call.

Can Flowtica Scribe connect directly to Claude, ChatGPT, or Obsidian via MCP?
Flowtica Scribe organizes recordings and Snap It paper photos inside the proprietary Flowtica mobile app. OneMira C1 stores open Markdown files and a Google OKF Wiki on your drive and includes native CLI and MCP support for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and Obsidian.
When should I choose Flowtica Scribe vs OneMira C1?
Choose Flowtica Scribe if handwriting on paper during face-to-face interviews is central to your routine and your monthly need for Speaker ID and AI summaries stays under 300 minutes.
