Great

It would be nice to have an option to cut silence. So as to start recordingu on you when a threshold is reached. also, for removing recordings, it would be good to just swipe so as to delete them instead of pressing a drop-down. Great effort keep it going.

Phenomenal app, it does one thing and does it perfectly.

This app is flawless. It passively records in the background, and lets you save past audio whenever you need it. It automatically deletes unsaved audio so it doesn’t take up storage. I’ve been a victim of some crazy gaslighting so this app has SAVED me so many times.

The REAL best thing about the app is the privacy model. EVERYTHING happens entirely on-device. Data is never sent to external servers, and the audio is even transcribed automatically on device. There are tons of “AI recording devices” on the market (some of which cost over $100 and require a monthly subscription). This app does EXACTLY what any of those devices do, only on your iPhone for completely free (and with better privacy). If the dev sees this I want to seriously thank you for making this. The only possible thing I’d want would be an Apple-watch version of this app.
