Fieldy 3 Notetaker (Haptics Guide)

What each vibration pattern on your Fieldy 3 notetaker feels like, and what it's telling you.

Written by Lukas from Fieldy

Your Fieldy 3 uses vibration to tell you what's happening - even when you can't see the LED or the screen. Here's what each buzz feels like and what it means.

Recording feedback

When

What it feels like

Recording starts

One smooth buzz that starts soft and quickly builds to a stronger pulse - over in less than half a second.

Recording stops

Two pulses: a short, strong buzz, a brief pause, then a slightly longer, slightly softer buzz.

Recording couldn't start

Three short, sharp buzzes back-to-back, a distinct "no-go" signal, different from the smooth single buzz that plays when recording actually starts.

Powering on and off

When

What it feels like

Powering on

One solid, medium-length buzz at a steady strength.

Powering off

One buzz that fades from strong down to soft, tapering off rather than cutting out sharply.

Command mode (double-click)

One short, sharp tap.

Exiting command mode

A short, sharp buzz, a brief pause, then a quicker, softer tap.

Find My Device

A strong buzz lasting almost half a second, repeating about once per second for up to a minute - meant to be easy to feel even if Fieldy is buried in a bag or under a cushion.
