## What is ARP?

Clean up a noisy recording on your iPhone. The recording never leaves it.

A voice memo in a loud café, an interview over traffic, a lecture from the back row: ARP takes the background noise out of speech, on your device, and shows you what it did.

HEAR THE DIFFERENCE
Switch between Original, Cleaned and Removed. Removed is what the cleanup took out. If you can follow speech in it, the cleanup took too much, and you'll know.

READ THE DIFFERENCE
Transcribe the original and the cleaned version on your device, then switch between them with the same control you listen with. Copy either one, or export it as text or subtitles (SRT).

IT TELLS YOU WHEN NOT TO
ARP measures the background level first. If a recording is already clean, it says so, changes nothing, and doesn't count it against your free recordings.

LONG RECORDINGS
Interviews and lectures up to 3 hours.

EXPORT
The cleaned recording as M4A, or as 24-bit WAV and AIFF with Premium, at the recording's own sample rate.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your audio is processed on your device and never uploaded. No account, no analytics, no tracking. The one network request is Apple's speech model, downloaded once the first time you transcribe.

PRICING
10 recordings free. Premium is a single purchase: no limit on recordings, plus 24-bit WAV and AIFF export. No subscription.

Works on iPhone and iPad with iOS 26 or later.

Made in Sydney by Matthew Worner. No account. Pay once. Stays on your device.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.2 — 2026-11-05

• Tap the “Recording cleaned” notification to open that recording, ready to compare.
• Say “Clean audio with ARP”, or send a recording to ARP from a shortcut, and it starts cleaning.
• Settings → More from Matthew lists my other apps.

### 2.1.1 — 2026-11-03

ARP on iPad now turns with your iPad and runs in a resizable window beside your other apps. VoiceOver reads clearer names, and long cleanups report their progress more often.

### 2.1 — 2026-10-30

ARP now looks and works the same on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Clearer screens, larger controls and plainer labels across Recordings, the Player, Settings and Premium. Processing stays with the recording you started, even if you go back to your list while it runs.

### 2.0.1 — 2026-10-24

Small fix: on iPad, ARP now says "this device" instead of "this iPhone" where it explains that your recordings stay with you. Nothing else has changed since 2.0.

### 2.0 — 2026-10-06

ARP 2.0 is a new app. The music player is gone; ARP now does one job: bring back the voice in a noisy recording.

• Clean voice memos, interviews and lectures on your device
• Transcripts of the original and the cleaned version, to compare
• Hear what was removed: Original, Cleaned and Removed
• Recordings up to 3 hours
• Your recordings are processed on your device and never uploaded
