What Is the Vocci Ring?

The Vocci Ring is a titanium AI note-taking ring from Gyges Labs, the company behind the Halliday smart glasses. It debuted at CES 2026 and is now on sale. You double-tap the button to start recording, and a vibration and a small light confirm it is listening. Long-press and speak to ask Vocci's AI what was decided, or to send the write-up on.

Vocci quotes up to 8 hours of continuous recording, about 2 days of regular use, a single microphone with up to 5 meters of pickup, IP67 water resistance and 100+ languages. It records offline to built-in storage and syncs to your phone and then the cloud. Vocci says data is end-to-end encrypted, GDPR compliant and never used to train AI. Transcripts, highlights and action items can go to Notion, Slack, WhatsApp or Google Docs, and Vocci says its MCP server brings your conversations into ChatGPT and Claude.

What Is the Pebble Index 01?

The Index 01 is a ring from Core Devices, the company run by Pebble founder Eric Migicovsky. You click the button with your thumb and talk, and Pebble says it "only records while the button is pressed. It's not designed to record your whole life, or meetings." Pebble says recordings are converted to text and handled on your phone, offline, with no cloud service needed.

It runs on batteries that cannot be recharged. Pebble quotes 12 to 15 hours of recording, which it says lasts up to two years at 10 to 20 short thoughts a day, after which you replace the ring. See our full guide, Pebble Index 01: Price, Specs and Who Should Buy It.

How Much Do They Cost?

Vocci Ring: $249, down from $299, with free shipping and the charging case included. Vocci says core recording and local storage are free. The free Starter plan includes 300 transcription minutes and 30 AI agent uses a month. Plus is $15.99 a month, or $9.99 a month billed yearly ($119.99), for 1,200 minutes. Pro is $29.99 a month, or $19.99 a month billed yearly ($239.99), for unlimited minutes. The first month of Pro is free.

Pebble Index 01: $75 at the current pre-order price, rising to $99 later, with no subscription. Budget for a new ring when the sealed battery runs out.

Over two years, Vocci costs $249 on the free plan or about $729 on yearly Pro. Pebble costs $75.

Meeting Ring vs Notes Ring

The two rings solve different problems. Vocci is built for meetings: double-tap once and it keeps recording for up to 8 hours, then gives you a transcript, summary and action items. Pebble is built for the half-second idea: press, say it, let go.

That shapes everything else. Vocci needs charging and has a case to do it, and its best features sit in a paid plan. Pebble never charges, works offline and costs nothing after you buy it, but it will not capture a conversation.

Which Should You Choose?

Choose the Vocci Ring if you want to record meetings and conversations from your finger, want transcripts in Notion, Slack, ChatGPT or Claude, and are happy to charge it and maybe pay for a plan.

Choose the Pebble Index 01 if you want a $75 ring for quick notes and reminders, with nothing to charge and no subscription.

Where Legend Fits

Both rings start when you press them. Legend One is built for the conversations you would not think to start recording. It is a voice-first AI memory pendant made for people with ADHD, worn at chest height and on all day, with a Halo light when it is active. It is not a medical device and does not treat ADHD. Legend turns your conversations into text, with no audio to play back and none kept in your account, and gives you daily summaries and auto-generated to-dos in the Legend App. Legend still captures audio to create the transcript, so recording and consent laws may apply where you live. It is $499 USD including the first year of membership, with free worldwide shipping. Orders ship within 30 days, then arrive in about 14 business days. See how it works.

The Takeaway

The Vocci Ring is a $249 titanium meeting recorder for your finger, with 8 hours of recording, a charging case and links to ChatGPT, Claude and Notion. The Pebble Index 01 is a $75 notes ring that never charges and needs no subscription. Pick Vocci to capture meetings, and Pebble to catch quick thoughts.
