Taking session notes

Every session has a space where you can jot down your own notes — before, during or after the appointment. These raw notes are kept exactly as you type them and stay with you throughout the session.


Understanding session notes


The My notes block, subtitled Before, during or after the session. Saved automatically., is a free-form field: you write whatever you want, with no AI transformation. There's no Save button — your notes are saved automatically as you type.


These notes are private. They serve your coach's memory; they aren't sent to the client.


Entering your notes


  1. On the session page, find the My notes block.
  2. Write straight into the field (the prompt reads Type your session notes…).
  3. Don't look for a Save button: as soon as you stop typing, an indicator moves from Saving… to Saved (then Saved at {time}), confirming everything is stored.


Saving is deferred: it fires a fraction of a second after your last keystroke. It also fires when you leave the field or close the page — no pending note is lost.


When notes switch to read-only


As long as no summary exists, your notes stay editable. Once a summary is generated for the session, the block becomes Coach notes (subtitled Your notes taken before, during or after the session, folded into the summary.) and appears read-only, below the summary. Your notes aren't lost: they're kept and tied to the summary.


Once the block is read-only, you no longer edit these notes here. To add an observation to the session, use the Enrich tab; for a general note about the client, use the Notes tab on their profile.


Dictating your notes by voice


You can dictate instead of typing. The Dictate button (microphone icon) records your voice and inserts it, transcribed, at the cursor position — without erasing what you'd already written. Handy for capturing an impression right after the session.


  1. Click Dictate. The first time, a short Voice dictation window reminds you of two things (the maximum length per recording, and that several recordings can go in the same note); click Start dictation.
  2. Speak. Depending on your browser, a preview appears while you talk; the text is finalized on the server. The field is momentarily locked while it's being transcribed.
  3. Click Finish (or let it auto-stop after a few minutes). The transcribed text is inserted and a Text inserted message confirms the addition — which you can undo with Undo insertion.


The live preview while you speak depends on the browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari). On Firefox it isn't available: dictation happens in a dedicated window, then the transcribed text is inserted at the end.


The first time you dictate, your browser asks permission to access the microphone: accept it. If it's blocked, a Microphone unavailable. Allow microphone access in your browser settings message guides you through re-enabling it.


Each recording is limited to about 5 minutes and a maximum size: an over-long dictation is rejected (Recording too long — please split your dictation) and several dictations in a row may be temporarily blocked. Chain several short recordings within the same note instead.


💡 Tip: a few words dictated on the spot, right after the session, are often worth more than a note written later "when things calm down" — but forgotten in the meantime.
