![](https://cdn.nothing.community/2025-11-25/1764073571-605674-n-essmem-169-1.png "banner") Hey Community, Today we are releasing two major upgrades to Essential Space. Both are designed to make capturing, understanding and revisiting your moments feel more natural. This update introduces Essential Memory and a completely new Flip to Record experience that supports richer context. #### 🧠 Essential Memory https://cdn.nothing.community/2025-11-25/1764073523-39906-nothing-memory-16x9-v01.mp4 Essential Memory is now how Essential Space and Essential Search work together. Until now, Essential Space saved what you added. With Memory, it begins to understand the meaning behind those moments. When you add screenshots, links, notes or photos to Essential Space, they become memories your phone can recognise and recall when you need them. You can ask your phone naturally, and Essential Search brings back the moment with the most relevant context. #### Example You save a poster from a design fair and tag it "April events". Weeks later you ask: “Is there anything interesting happening next month?” Essential Search brings that poster back instantly. \- Space keeps the moment. \- Memory understands it. \- Search retrieves it. Everything works together as one simple and intuitive system. #### 🎙️ New Flip to Record https://cdn.nothing.community/2025-11-25/1764080993-165730-ftrc.mov Flip to Record now supports much richer session capture. You can record audio as always, and you can now add far more context without leaving the recording page. #### 📸 Add photos while recording You can take or upload photos during a recording. Images appear on the timeline so every visual moment stays aligned with what you captured in audio. #### 📝 Add typed notes during recording You can type your thoughts while recording. These notes appear in the same timeline to help you revisit ideas easily. #### 🕒 New Recording Page A new dedicated interface displays: * recording duration * pause and resume * long press to end * quick access to add photos or notes * the ability to minimise the page This page is designed to help you stay focused while giving you the tools you need in one place. #### 📄 Improved Details Page After ending a recording, you can review everything in one timeline including audio, photos and text notes. #### 🤖 AI support after recording When finished, you can get an AI summary, a full transcription and action items created from your audio, images and notes. Flip to Record now provides a complete workflow inside Essential Space. #### How to get the update If auto-update is turned on, Essential Space will update automatically. If not, go to the Google Play Store and update Essential Space manually. Both Essential Memory and the new Flip to Record feature are available starting today and will roll out gradually.

huttonstephen5 looks pretty cool. Assuming that Samsung, as I remember, has daily briefings and Nothing had at least a thought about it, this recap might be great thing. Hope someone remembers that video with Carl about the future of software? So why not make it come faster then. I remember there was something similar as you described.

Thank you, I suppose I wanted a valid reason to press the essential key daily instead of by accident

Zac any idea when Essential space will get a search bar?

My essential space is huge now and i was horrified to find there’s no search bar that would bring up at least text based saves. Could you please advice if the team is looking to add this in the future? Otherwise essential space would make no sense, at least for me

Also it would be nice to be able to click on an upcoming event and it open that memory/capture.
