A screen-free wearable records conversations, generates summaries and translations, creates mind maps, and tracks heart rate, SpO₂, sleep, and stress.
URBAN has launched ARC NOTE, a screen-free wearable that records conversations from the wrist and uses AI to turn them into searchable transcripts, meeting summaries, translations, and mind maps. The device also tracks health and fitness metrics, positioning it as a wearable for both productivity and everyday wellness.
ARC NOTE is aimed at professionals, entrepreneurs, students, and others who regularly take part in meetings, discussions, or conversations. Instead of using a smartphone or separate recorder, users can start and stop recording directly from the band and later process the captured audio through the companion app.
The wearable’s AI Meeting Recorder starts recording with a double click and stops with a single press. It provides an indication when recording begins and does not continuously listen in the background. URBAN says the device can support approximately 16 hours of recording on a full charge.
Once a recording is available, the AI tools process the audio into different formats. AI Transcription converts conversations into searchable text, making it possible to locate names, numbers, decisions, and specific discussion points. Live Translation supports more than 17 Indian languages for multilingual conversations.
The Minutes of Meeting feature summarises discussions and highlights key points and decisions, while Auto Mind Map organises topics, ideas, and decisions into a visual representation of the conversation.
The outputs can be accessed through the companion application, which is available on Android and iOS. Since ARC NOTE does not have a display, users interact with the recording and AI functions through the physical controls on the band and the smartphone app.
Alongside its meeting features, ARC NOTE provides 24×7 wellness tracking. It monitors heart rate, SpO₂, sleep, and stress, while AI Health Insights analyse the collected data to provide information based on the user’s health patterns.
The wearable is rated IPX68 for resistance against rain, sweat, and splashes. It uses a lightweight woven nylon strap intended for all-day and overnight use and includes six sensors for its health and wellness monitoring functions.
