Essential Space | Feature Wishlist

hrry · 2025-03-18T17:54:33+00:00

Hey folks,

The Nothing Phone (3a) Series introduced Essential Space to the world. The product is the first iteration of what I’m sure will become a key feature within Nothing OS.

Let’s use this as an Essential Space Wishlist. You can provide feedback, ideas & even share how you use it + how you’d like to use it.

Some points to note, similar to our Nothing OS wishlist thread:

This thread is not for reporting bugs related to respective models.
Scroll through first to avoid reposting the same suggestion that has already been posted.
Keep it constructive and meaningful so that everyone can resonate with your views.
If you feel connected with a suggestion, feel free to like or react to it to kind of upvote it, thus showing the team how much a particular feature is wanted by the users.
Consider sending feedback via Settings > System > Feedback as always, besides sharing your feedback here.

Let’s share great ideas and, maybe Nothing will implement some in the future

Once the screenshot has been made in the essential Space, would it be possible to make the links of the site appear where the capture is taken and to make it usable to be able to return to one click? Thank you so much .

I would like a way to quickly take a picture with my camera and add it to essential spaces.

nothingaccount_EQgcxyWRGJ U can just use essential space in the camera app. You shot using the fiscal button instead of the on the screen

Using Essential Space to manage my trip, order of flights ticket, hotel booking and so on. One big disappointment is that AI did not get the right date and time to generate the alert, and I can not manually fix it.

The ability to change the date/time of reminders, or even better a 2-way sync with the calendar
A widget for a specific collection, not just reminders

Really appreciate Nothing giving us customers a voice to express. I recently purchased my first nothing phone (3 a), I have already been blown away with the quality of my new device. Undoubtedly the essential space is still half baked (i belive Nothing precisely described it as half baked), however I strong believe conceptually the essential space is a brilliant idea (I’m already almost addicted to the half baked version). Pointers that can immediately take it to the next level for me

A pop up after each recording- with the following options, do I want a reminder (& what time /date ), if I want a summary or not,
An option to cancel / delete during the recording, before the memory is saved
A more organised library (options to create folders/ sub folders)
Although pretty accurate in understanding my voice - the AI being used is far from Open Ai’s advanced voice, will an integration with one of the large AI giants be possible (open ai, claude, perplexity for real time searches etc or maybe even deepseek?). This would take the essential space on to another level

Hi all,

I would really like to make full use of the Essential Space, i have been having some issues however with setting dates for events here. Is there a way to set an upcoming events without having to take a screenshot (holding the essential space button)? And does anyone have any other tips or tricks for using Essential space optimal?

Secondly,

Not sure if this is more something for OS or for Essentials, but I would like to set the language for the Essentials app to English, while keeping the Languague of the OS to another. Namely, because voice tot text in my native tongue isn’t very good yet.

Can you make the battery in the top right in the Term_0 style and the time also at the top left in the __Term_1_ style bite were cool thank you,

SimoneSchiavone · 2025-03-20T12:28:02+00:00

I heard they were going to let Essential Space being able to add memos, activities, events and everything on Google Calendar. Any news or updates about this?

MatteoMaiorano · 2025-03-20T12:39:14+00:00

SimoneSchiavone Still really early ig. Maybe will see some new features with Nothing phone 3.

I use essential space to get reminded about things or keep track of upcoming dates.

I would love a way to also add things more in the realm of a simple note, like “remember to hydrate!” and have this not be attached to a date or time.

A widget that could display these sorts of thing would be great as well.

Maybe it’s just me, what do you guys think?

Kcin69096 · 2025-03-21T09:13:53+00:00

There’s a lot of work to do regarding the Essential Space. I would love to see integration with apps and small quality of life features (for example, selecting multiple notes and dragging them to a collection (without pressing buttons). It is still very early access but the idea has a lot of potential.

How about making an application for android, ios and windows, so we can share data of the ai button with other devices. I sugest it sa a way to start creating an integrative ecosystem.
