Thought Threads
A Thought Thread lets you connect multiple voice notes into one evolving idea. Record separate notes over hours, days, or weeks — Proset keeps them together and converts them as a single source.
When To Use Thought Threads
- An idea builds over several sessions and you want one combined output.
- You recorded a meeting follow-up days after the original meeting.
- You want to add written context alongside voice notes before converting.
Create A Thread
There are three ways to start:
- From a recording — Open any recording and tap the branch icon. Proset creates a thread with that recording as the first note.
- From the Thought Threads screen — Open Thought Threads from the navigation drawer and tap Create.
- Empty thread — Start with no notes and add them later.
Add Voice Notes
A thread is built from voice notes arranged in a timeline.
- Record a new note — Tap Record inside the thread. The new note is added automatically.
- Add an existing recording — Tap Add in the timeline section and pick from your saved recordings.
Notes appear in chronological order by default. You can reorder them with the arrow buttons, hide a note with the eye icon, or remove it entirely.
Add Context
Context is extra information that isn't in any voice note — written instructions, background details, corrections, or supporting files.
- Type in the context box and tap Add.
- Attach a file (same types as file import: .txt, .md, .docx, .csv, .xlsx, .pdf, images).
- Optionally tag how a context item relates to a specific note: continues, clarifies, supersedes, conflicts with, or supports.
Context is kept separate from your transcripts. It influences the conversion without changing any original recording.
Convert
When your thread has enough material:
- Pick a conversion type (same types available on individual recordings).
- Toggle Clarify first if you want Proset to ask a question before converting.
- Choose output format (Markdown or plain text).
- Tap Convert.
Each conversion run takes a snapshot of the thread at that moment. If you add more notes later and convert again, you get a new result based on the updated thread — previous results stay unchanged.
Status
Threads have three states:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Open | Active, accepting new notes and context. |
| Ready | Material is complete — ready to convert. |
| Archived | Done. Still viewable but out of the active list. |
Tap a status chip to change it.
Run History
Every conversion you run on a thread is saved. Open Run history to revisit previous results, resume an interrupted run, or retry a failed one.
Tips
- You don't need to plan a thread in advance. Start with one note and add more as ideas come.
- Use context to add things you can't say aloud — links, corrections, formatting preferences.
- Threads work well for projects that span days: meeting notes, research ideas, evolving plans.
