Case study

Plaude Archiver: local Plaud Note Pro recording transfer

Plaude Archiver reconstructs the Plaud Note Pro recording transfer protocol from analysis of the Android app, using REA and JADX in the documented workflow. Its macOS client obtains account keys once, establishes the encrypted BLE session, downloads recordings and decrypts them to Ogg Opus files. Protocol notes cover GATT characteristics, packet framing and handshake variants.
