Essential Space | Feature Wishlist

Zuu · 2025-03-18T02:22:37+00:00

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?

Essential button causes unwanted screenshots. Why can’t we modify it ?

I’m using for the last week the essential space to take notes in my mother tongue, French. It hardly understands and transcripts correctly my words… Is there any improvement planned so far ? Otherwise, I feel like I would be returning to google task via the google assistant…a pity…

Letting us fully disable it would be a good feature

I recently got the Nothing Phone 3a, though There is an Issue with its optimization, when I add anything to the Essential space using the Essential key, the A.I. Engine Does not Process it completely unless and until I manually open the app of Essential space, The moment I open the App i.e. Essential space, it Starts analysing and processes the Output, but if I Do not open the app, it does not Process Anything, It just saved the Screenshot (if any) and the note added with it, I think That’s an optimization issue. I hope Nothing will Solve it.

Only concept is cool. There is no automatic categorisations.

Sample screenshot attached. I asked to remind the task. It was updated in the reminder. Most of the analysis are happening only when I open the essential space. Even after that, reminders are not updated.

Sometimes it’s mostly confusing.

2nd screenshot: took some ideas for future reference. I dunno know where to start. Pls update.

I really appreciate the essential space and essential button as it helps me in saving important screenshots.

However i feel like it could be better, instead of only being a screenshot app, why not make it a hybrid of screenshots organiser and note taking app? It would be awesome if we can edit what has been wrote in the note instead of only being able to edit to do list.

That’s all I have to say. So far the experience using this device is great except for the touch issue while scrolling.

Hope this will be taken into consideration for the betterment of the users and company.

I wanted to share some thoughts on the Essential app in the Nothing Phone and see what others think.

I’ve tried using it, but I don’t really find it useful in my daily routine. For ideation or jotting down thoughts, I usually don’t use my phone. I know some people enjoy the feature, which is totally fine, but it’s not something I rely on.

One suggestion I have is to allow remapping the gestures (single press, double tap, long press) that are currently tied to the Essential feature. For me, it would be much more useful to launch the camera with one of those gestures, especially when I want to take a quick shot.

Also, for voice notes, I prefer using the normal sound recorder app. It’s simpler and works better for me.

Curious to hear how others are using Essential.

Hi ,

Is it possible to categorise the alarms? I work @ 3 different times,and i need more than 1 alarm to manage my wakeup procedure (wake up,go away from wc,take the dog, get ready,go…etc…) so i need to change this alarms everytime i ’ve a different working time. I think something like a multifoldersystem with an "oneclick-option"to activate /deactivate the different alarms in the folders will be nice and save a lot of lifetime for every user who has the same problems like me cause of the 3 layer system. And when the folders are renameble,,it will be perfect.(Like the nothing phones are)

So thanks 4 reading and maybe thinking about this ..

Peace

Mike

i would like to be able to use the “essential” key for something else than screenshots. or to disable it at least. i find it quite annoying to take hundreds of screenshots every day

MarioStadler I just got this phone and figured out that you don’t have to take a screenshot. When you press the key and it highlights the screen yellow, you can tap the screen so it won’t take a screenshot it will only record your voice note or message you type. Hope this helps!

I think we all need a horizontal screenshot support. Sometimes i make it in games or other programs with horizontal orientation.

Adding a verbal note or reminder to essential space through a watch widget. I try and keep my phone in my pocket while driving and sometime have a thought while on the road. I think a watch widget maybe a good watch to capture a thought without have to take out the phone.

I also did submit this through “Phone-Settings > System > Feedback”

HowardPollock

Simple one.

Allow scrolling screenshots

Thanks

Why not just use a speech recognition model like Whisper Multilingual locally? Would be much better imo… I’ve tried it.
