Daily Recap is an AI-powered feature that automatically summarizes your day's activity in Beside - including calls, texts, voice notes, and more - into one clear overview.

When enabled, you'll receive a dedicated Daily Recap message in your Beside Personal Inbox each day. It highlights:

  • Key moments from your conversations

  • Action items and follow-ups

  • Reminders and next steps

It's like a personal assistant helping you close the day with clarity.

💻 Beside Desktop

  • Daily Recap is available in the mobile app only.

  • It is not available on Beside Desktop for macOS.


Why use Daily Recap?

Stay on top of your to-dos

All your follow-ups and tasks appear in one place, so you don’t have to scroll through multiple conversations.

Reduce mental load

End your day knowing nothing slipped through the cracks.

Prioritize effectively

Clear next steps help you focus on what matters most.


How does Daily Recap work?

When Daily Recap is enabled:

  • You’ll have a dedicated Daily Recap conversation in your Personal Inbox

  • Each day, a new Daily Recap message is posted in that same conversation

  • You can open it anytime to review key updates and action items

Beside Daily Recap

📌 Daily Recap is sent once per day at your selected time. It does not update in real time throughout the day.

👥 Using multiple lines and inboxes?

  • If you're on the Beside plan and have multiple lines, you'll receive one Daily Recap per account, not one per line.

  • Your recap consolidates activity across all your inboxes and is always delivered in your Personal Inbox.


How to manage Daily Recap (turn on / off, change time)

Daily Recap is enabled by default and delivered every day at 6 PM (based on your device time).

You can turn it off at any time or change the delivery time to better fit your schedule.

➡️ Steps (iPhone & Android)

  • Open Beside → go to Settings

  • Scroll down to Notifications → tap Daily Recap:

    • Tap Enable Daily Recap to toggle ON or OFF

    • Tap Daily Recap Time to select your preferred delivery time

If Daily Recap is turned off, you will no longer receive daily summary messages.
