## What is Ekkoes?

Keep a travel journal you can listen to. Ekkoes brings together the sounds, photos and places of your trips in a private audio diary.

Capture waves on a coast, a lively market or a walk through a new city. Add an optional photo and location, then find the moment again on your sound map. At home, keep the rain, birdsong and familiar voices that make everyday life worth remembering.

RECORD THE WHOLE MOMENT
• Start recording in one tap.
• Add an optional photo, GPS location, title, tags, mood, and notes.
• Trim silence, focus voices, reduce wind and noise, or polish music on your device. Your original can always be restored.

BUILD YOUR PRIVATE SOUND MAP
• Explore every recording in a visual library or on a map of the places you captured.
• Search by title, place, tag, note, or date.
• Let the Home Screen widget bring back a different memory.
• Sound Anniversaries resurface recordings one, two, or three years later.
• Identify music in a recording with Shazam.

SHARE ONLY WHEN YOU CHOOSE
• Turn a moment into a Sound Postcard: a portrait video anyone can play, an audio file, or an importable .soniclib archive.
• Create an iCloud Shared Group for a trip, family, or project.
• Play a group as a playlist and see all its recordings together on the map.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your personal library stays on your devices and in your iCloud account. There are no ads and no tracking of your audio. Nothing is shared unless you choose it.

TRY YOUR FIRST SOUND MEMORIES
Keep up to 10 recordings at no cost. Choose a one-time lifetime unlock when you want unlimited recordings and watermark-free Sound Postcards.

Record a place today. Hear it again years from now.

### 2.1.2 — 2026-10-19

Ekkoes 2.1.2

A better moment to ask for your feedback.

• Ekkoes can now invite you to leave a review after several listening sessions, as well as after creating recordings.
• Requests wait while you are playing a recording or playlist, or editing a recording.
• Requests are spaced out, and app updates no longer reset the time between them.
• Completed and corrected interface translations, especially for sharing, synchronization and the map, and improved localized counters.

Thank you for using Ekkoes.

### 2.1.1 — 2026-10-18

Ekkoes 2.1.1

Clearer groups, more reliable sharing.

• Compact group screens give recordings more room on iPhone and iPad, in portrait and landscape, for both shared and personal groups.
• Members and synchronization details are now a tap away. View received recording counts, manage your profile, and check synchronization errors in Settings.

• Better protection for your recordings and edits when a network request or save fails.

Thank you for using Ekkoes.

### 2.1.0 — 2026-10-10

Ekkoes 2.1.0

A better way to capture and revisit your sound memories.

• Shops, restaurants, cafés and other places now appear throughout the app’s maps by default. You can turn off “Show places of interest” in Settings.
• Now available in Traditional Chinese, Korean, Thai, and Vietnamese, including recording controls, widgets, and sharing.
• Map connections are now your choice: enable “Link recordings on map” in a group to trace its recordings in chronological order. Groups start with links turned off.
• Tap the new location arrow to explore recordings around your city, or touch and hold to zoom in closely on your current location.
• Record audio independently of photos. Start audio automatically, see a two-second photo countdown, and retake a photo without stopping your recording.
• See your active microphone, quiet or high-level signal warnings, and elapsed time with milliseconds.
• Follow your recording on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, and stop it without returning to the app. Your take stays ready to name and save.
• Start recording with the new shortcut, assign it to the Action button, or add the waveform widget or corner control to your Lock Screen.
• Open recording faster from the Lock Screen, Action button, Siri, or Shortcuts. Ekkoes now goes directly to capture instead of loading the Map first.
• Stopped takes are preserved immediately as editable “Untitled recording” drafts. Save without a title, return later, or start another quick recording without losing the previous take. Discarding removes its Lock Screen status right away.
• Recording now adapts to the active microphone’s sample rate and channels for better reliability with current iPhones, Bluetooth microphones, and external inputs.
• Enjoy layouts designed for folded iPhone Duo, clearer landscape controls, and improved swipe navigation in your library and groups.
• In Map, swipe right to close playback or up for more info. In Library and Groups, swipe down to close or left and right to change recordings.
• Tap a map pin or thumbnail to listen. The recording closes when playback ends and the map returns to its previous view. Recording details now include a small location map.
• Sound Postcard videos now end with their audio. This update also improves recording recovery and playback reliability.

Thank you for using Ekkoes.

### 2.0.5 — 2026-08-31

Ekkoes 2.0.5

Sound Postcard videos now end exactly when their audio ends. This update fixes exports that could continue displaying the image after the sound had finished.

Thank you for using Ekkoes.
