The floating recorder

The small always-on-top pill that proves Amlin is still listening when the note isn't in front of you.

When capture is running but the note isn't in focus — you jumped to Zoom, opened a browser, or closed the note window — a small floating recorder appears at the right-hand edge of your screen.

What it shows

  • Live audio bars and a red recording dot, so you can see at a glance that Amlin is hearing something

  • A running timer for the current session

  • The meeting title

What you can do with it

  • ↗ Open — brings the note window forward, focused

  • ⏸ / ▶ — pause and resume capture

  • ■ — stop capture and start enhancement

  • Drag it anywhere on screen by its body; Amlin remembers the position for next time

Why it behaves the way it does

  • It floats above every app and every space, including full-screen apps, because a recording indicator you can't see isn't an indicator.

  • It never steals focus. Clicking its buttons doesn't pull you out of your call.

  • It stays visible even when no Amlin window is open at all.
