Supported devices
Where the app runs, what you need before you sign in or create an account, and what it needs from your phone.
Auron runs on iPhone and on Android phones, in portrait. The two builds have the same screens and the same features. Small differences in how the operating system handles calls and notifications are noted where they matter.
Before you start
What you need depends on how you are coming to Auron.
On your own
Nothing but an email address. Tap Create account on the sign in screen and you get a personal organization with a free 30-day trial.
With a team
The address of your team's Auron deployment, and an email and password for it or an invitation to an organization on it.
If you have been invited to a team but never set a password, use Forgot password? on the sign in screen to set one.
What the app asks your phone for
The app asks for the microphone the first time you start a call or a recording, for photos the first time you attach one or set a profile picture, and for notifications as soon as you are signed in. Refusing one only affects that feature. The full list, and how to change your mind later, is in Permissions.
Calls keep running when the screen locks or you move to another app, and they show up in your phone's own call interface so you can hang up from the lock screen.
Connection
Voice calls run over the network, so a call is as good as the connection. On a weak connection the transcript lags behind the conversation and catches up. A voice note records to the phone and only needs a connection when you send it off for a transcript, which makes it the safer choice when you have no signal. See Staying in sync and working offline.
Auron on your phone
What the Auron app is for, the difference between a personal account and a team account, and where to find each part of it.
