Limitless Pendant alternatives: what to buy now it is gone

You cannot buy a Limitless Pendant. Sales ended with Meta’s acquisition in December 2025, existing devices are supported through 2026 with nothing committed beyond that, and service ended on 19 December 2025 in the EU, UK, Brazil, China, Israel, South Korea and Turkey. If you own one, the question is not whether to move but when. The replacements divide by form: wearables keep the hands-free behaviour, a pen keeps a device that was already on the table and writes, and software tools cover calls but nothing in a room.

What to do, in order

01 / Get your recordings out first

Before anything else, export what you have. A support window that ends is a deadline for your archive as well as your hardware, and export is the step people leave until the notice arrives. Do it while the service is running normally.

02 / Decide whether hands-free was the point

A pendant is worn, so capture takes no hands and no decision. If that was the reason you bought one, a pen is genuinely not the same thing and you should weigh other wearables first. If you mostly took it off and put it on the table, the form was never doing the work.

03 / Check where you actually are

If you are in the EU, UK, Brazil, China, Israel, South Korea or Turkey, the decision is already made — service ended there in December 2025. Availability is the first filter on any replacement, before features.

04 / Weigh what the device does without a network

The Pendant was cloud-backed, so its history lived with the account. Scriben records to the device first: 64GB, roughly 400 hours of audio, up to 18 hours on a charge, with no phone or signal needed. That difference matters most in exactly the places a pendant struggled — a ward round, a basement meeting room, a car.

05 / Re-establish the consent habit

Whatever you move to, the disclosure is the same and it is worth rebuilding deliberately: say what the device is, say what it does, get agreement, then let it stay out of the way. Our switching guide covers what changes day to day.

Questions

Can I still buy a Limitless Pendant?

No. Sales ended when Meta acquired Limitless in December 2025. Existing Pendants are supported through 2026 and nothing has been committed beyond that. Checked 13 September 2026 against Meta’s announcement and the Limitless help centre.

What happens to my Pendant recordings?

That is a question for Limitless, and the reason to ask it now rather than later is that the support window is finite. Export your archive while the service is running normally, whatever you decide to replace it with.

Does the Limitless Pendant still work in the UK or EU?

Service ended there on 19 December 2025, along with Brazil, China, Israel, South Korea and Turkey.

What is the closest alternative to a Limitless Pendant?

Nothing is a like-for-like replacement, because the Pendant’s distinguishing feature was being worn. If hands-free is essential, look at other wearables. If the device mostly ended up on the table anyway, a pen covers the same conversations and writes while it does it.

Is Scriben available where Limitless is not?

Scriben ships today at $129 and records to the device rather than a regional service, so availability is not tied to a cloud rollout in the same way. Check shipping for your country before ordering.

We sell an alternative, so weigh this accordingly. The dates above are from Meta’s acquisition announcement and the Limitless help centre, checked 13 September 2026 — verify them against the vendor before acting, because a support window is exactly the kind of thing that moves. Scriben is recording people know about. You say what the pen is and what it does, they agree, and then it stays out of the way for the rest of the conversation — that second half is the product, and it only works after the first. Recording law varies by jurisdiction and by profession: see recording people lawfully before you start.
