## What is Vaurec?

Keep every voice recording private. Vaurec locks your audio behind a passcode and Face ID, and encrypts it on your device — so what you record stays yours.

WHY VAUREC
Most recorders leave your audio wide open. Vaurec is built privacy-first: every recording is encrypted on your device and locked behind a passcode and Face ID / Touch ID. No account, no cloud, no tracking.

RECORD ANYTHING
• One tap to start, stop, pause, and resume
• Unlimited recording time
• Keep recording in the background or with the screen locked
• Capture from the built-in mic, AirPods, or an external microphone
• High-quality lossless audio, saved as standard M4A (AAC)

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Passcode + Face ID / Touch ID lock on the whole app
• On-device encryption — your audio never leaves your phone
• No sign-up, no ads, no data collection

PLAY BACK WITH CONTROL
• Scrub to any point and skip forward or back
• Adjust playback speed
• A living audio wave that moves with your voice

STAY ORGANIZED
• Browse your library by date, search, and rename recordings
• Recently Deleted keeps files for 30 days, just in case
• Custom app icons and accent colors to make it yours

YOURS TO KEEP
• Share recordings to any app
• Export an encrypted backup and import it on a new phone — your files, always yours

HOW IT WORKS
1. Tap record and start capturing in a second
2. Set a passcode and Face ID to lock everything down
3. Play back, organize, and share on your terms
