Thanks for clarifying that you mean swiping Omi away, not simply locking your phone or switching apps. That distinction matters. Omi has background capture support on some device and platform paths, but we can’t promise continuous live transcription after a manual force-quit.
We’re keeping this open as a reliability request. Which wearable and phone OS are you using, and does recording stop when the screen is locked, or only after you swipe Omi away? For important recordings in the meantime, please leave Omi running in the background rather than force-closing it.

**Letting the app run even when quitting it ("swiping it away")**
Implement bluetooth-central background mode, state restoration, and **peripheral-initiated wake-ups **– so the OS can relaunch the app and reconnect when the device sends data, allowing the connection to persist even after the app is force-quit from the app switcher.
This is hard but absolutely necessary as this makes OMI worse in reliability as the other wearables
