Save Dashcam Recordings with Voice Commands on Hawk
Hawk by MRVL supports voice-activated clip saving through Siri Shortcuts on iPhone, letting you manually mark important moments during driving without taking your hands off the wheel.
How Voice Commands Work with Hawk
Hawk's voice-save feature uses Siri Shortcuts and is available on the Pro tier. Once set up, you can use voice commands like "Save dashcam clip" to manually tag and preserve footage without touching your phone. This is useful if you witness an incident or want to mark a specific moment during a trip. The app then saves that clip to your Evidence Locker with full SHA-256 integrity verification, ensuring the recording is tamper-proof for insurance or legal use. As of 2026, this hands-free workflow is one of the fastest ways to secure dashcam evidence without distraction.
Continuous Recording Works Without Voice Commands
Hawk doesn't require voice activation to save footage. By default, the app records continuously in a loop, capturing every moment of your drive. The continuous recording approach means you're never at risk of missing evidence because you forgot to press a button or speak a command. If you need a specific clip, Hawk's automatic loop recording has already captured it. You can then review footage in the Evidence Locker, export individual clips with full metadata (GPS, speed, timestamp), and share dispute exports as a court-ready ZIP file to your insurance company or police department.
Evidence-Grade Recording for Court Use
Every clip Hawk saves, whether via voice command or manual tap, is protected with SHA-256 integrity hashing. This cryptographic signature proves the recording hasn't been altered or edited, which is critical for insurance claims and small-claims court disputes. The Evidence Locker stores your clips with biometric lock (fingerprint or face), ensuring only you can access them. When you export a dispute, Hawk generates a signed manifest alongside your video ZIP, providing auditable proof of when the clip was recorded, its GPS location, vehicle speed, and that it remains unchanged. This level of evidence integrity is what separates Hawk from consumer camera apps.
Rideshare Drivers and Shift Mode
If you drive for Uber, Lyft, or Bolt, Hawk's Rideshare Pro tier adds cabin camera support and shift mode. Shift mode lets you run multiple recording sessions across a single shift without manually stopping and starting the app. You can use voice commands to save clips during passenger interactions or incidents, and all footage is tagged with trip metadata for context. Rideshare Pro includes passenger recording notices required in many jurisdictions, keeping you compliant while you protect yourself.
Pricing and Subscription Tiers
Hawk is free to start with basic continuous recording (10 clips per month, 7-day retention). Local Pro costs £3.99 per month, £39.99 per year, or £49.99 lifetime, and unlocks voice-save Siri Shortcuts, Evidence Locker biometric lock, dispute export, and iCloud sync for Pro clips. Rideshare Pro is £8.99 per month or £69.99 per year, adding cabin camera and shift mode. No subscription is required to use the core dashcam features; voice commands and advanced locking are Pro benefits only.
Getting Started with Hawk
Download Hawk on iOS or Android, mount your phone on your dashboard, and tap record. On iPhone Pro tier, set up a Siri Shortcut for voice saving through the app's settings. On your first drive, the app will ask for location permission (for GPS overlay) and background recording permission to keep filming when the screen locks. Within minutes, you'll have court-ready continuous dashcam footage with evidence-grade integrity protection. For new drivers or commuters who want professional-grade evidence without buying a dedicated hardware dashcam, Hawk provides everything you need in your pocket.

Voice-save Siri Shortcuts are currently an iPhone Pro feature. Android users get full continuous recording, Evidence Locker, and dispute export, but without the voice-command automation.
