    The most important conversations rarely begin at a desk. A quick check-in in a hallway, a brief coffee chat, and a "Do you have a minute?" turning into a real decision. Those moments are also the ones that disappear fastest.

    Now, a single tap on your wrist starts the recording. By the time you are back at your desk, a clean set of meeting notes is already waiting in Tiro, the kind you would have had to take time to write otherwise.

    All of that, from your wrist, without taking out your phone.

    How to use it

    The setup is short.

    1. Update the iPhone app. Update Tiro on your iPhone to the latest version, and Tiro shows up on your paired Apple Watch. During the first use, allow microphone access. That’s the only setup needed.

    2. Add the Tiro complication to your Watch Face. Place the Tiro complication on your Watch Face so a single tap from your wrist opens the recording screen. No need to scroll through the app list.

    3. Use AssistiveTouch for a fully hands-free experience. If touching the screen is difficult, AssistiveTouch lets you reach the app as well. With AssistiveTouch enabled, you can navigate to the recording screen and start a recording with hand gestures alone (a clench or a pinch).

    4. Use Double Tap on supported models. When your hands are already occupied, you can't lift your phone, and you can't reach the screen, Double Tap comes in handy. On Apple Watch Series 9 and later, Ultra 2 and later, and SE 3, two taps of your thumb and index finger start a recording.

    Note that when AssistiveTouch is on, the standard Double-Tap gesture is disabled. Pick whichever method suits you more.

    Why have Tiro on your watch?

    Timing.

    By the time you pull out your phone and open a recording app, the most important line has often already passed. Alternatively, a watch is already on your wrist, one tap away. You do not need to redirect your gaze, and the natural flow of conversation is preserved. In a client meeting or any setting that calls for some formality, recording starts naturally and discreetly.

    This is what Tiro means by Ambient AI. A tool that does not announce its presence, but is there precisely where needed. A promise to be present for the most important lines that often vanish the second they’re spoken.

    Recordings are safe, even if you leave your phone off

    Recordings made on the watch are sent securely to the Tiro app on your iPhone. You do not need to open your phone right after recording. Even if you open the app a few hours later, the recording will have been uploaded stably and gone through AI summarization and notes generation as usual.

    Long sessions can also be accommodated. Two things should be checked before a long recording on the watch:

    • Battery. A low battery may limit recording. The app sends an alert as you approach the threshold.

    • Storage. If the watch itself runs low on storage, the same kind of alert appears. There is an intermediate storage fallback for stability, but it is safest to check before you start.

    Get started

    Install or update the Tiro app from the App Store. Your paired Apple Watch will pick up Tiro right away.
