About this app

Free and easy to use audio recorder for Android, designed for high-quality and long-time recording with a clean and simple user interface.

With a skipping silence on-the-fly feature, recordings could be shortened by omitting relative silence. It allows you, for example, to catch night sleep talks or maybe some snoring, whatever comes first. 😓 By the way, it is how the idea to make this app was born: my spouse wanted to prove that I talk at night. It turns out, I do. šŸ¤”

Since 2012 this app has been installed on more than 50 million devices worldwide and proven to be a reliable everyday tool.

Regarding phone calls: šŸ“²
This app is not designed explicitly for recording phone calls. Some manufacturers block the ability to record the other party of a phone call for privacy or legal reasons. Therefore recordings will be paused during phone calls by default. Remember to be responsible and comply with your local laws.

More features:
• Automatic and manual sensitivity control for Skip silence mode (Beta)
• Live audio spectrum analyzer
• Wave/PCM encoding with adjustable sample rate (8-44 kHz)
• Recording in the background (even when a display is off)
• Save/pause/resume/cancel recording process control
• Efficient and easy on the battery
• Recording time limited only by available storage along with a 2GB limit per file
• Straightforward recordings list and many sharing options
• Launcher shortcut to start recording in one tap
• Microphone gain calibration tool.

Used app for years, no problems. Now suddenly my old files are all grayed out. App says "storage location unavailable." Files are invisible to my file manager and data recovery apps. Tried sending grayed out files to my spouse's phone (she just got a different file) and my email (nothing at all). File still invisible from my computer via USB link. Tried contacting support yesterday -- crickets; support page on website basically says, we're understaffed, don't expect a response any time soon.

Have had this app for years, always worked. However in 2025/2026, my older recordings are not listed under "recordings" in app. I have them saved onto memory card in phone. All listed recordings play, I can go to file manager and see the older recordings, but they do not play outside of app. They are there, just not accessible. A solution would be, if there's a limit on recordings shown, perhaps a search feature. I know the older recording names. Was a 5ā˜† app, not so sure what's up now.

Fantastic app. It's capable of sounding great if you go into the settings and turn the quality up (resulting in large file sizes), or you can sacrifice some quality with lower settings to save space on your device. My phone's microphone sucks, so I also used the settings to make it a bit more sensitive. So now it can pick up sounds that used to be too quiet. Though beware, if you later use it in a situation with much louder sounds, it may result in clipping/distortion. If in doubt, leave on Auto
