Great point! This really is a nuanced and important issue.

I totally get the concern—continuous recording is definitely a gray area in everyday life. My tool is more focused on active recording (like saying "Doubao, take a note..."), not passive monitoring. The key differences are:

Intent - You clearly know what you're recording. It feels more like "writing something down" than "recording audio"

Visibility - Earbuds are already so commonplace that they don't draw attention like a dedicated voice recorder would

Social boundaries - I typically only record personal thoughts, not conversations with others (which would require clear consent)
