Read full description

Pocket Voice Cleaner is a paid offline tool for people who capture lectures, interviews, creator takes, and quick voice notes on iPhone and iPad. Record a fresh take or import an audio file, choose a cleanup profile, trim long quiet runs, and level the retained audio without clipping. Pocket Voice Cleaner writes a real cleaned M4A plus a cleanup map CSV that relates each retained source range to its output position. Review original duration, cleaned duration, silence removed, retained segments, and generated file names before sharing. Processing and export happen on your device. There is no account, subscription, advertising SDK, analytics SDK, tracking, or developer-server upload.
