I found existing options to be complicated and ridden with paywalls so I decided to make a simple free solution for anyone looking for a place to listen to their audio files anytime, anywhere. The secure audio-sharing feature set is an additional service I added after talking with friends and family in the music industry so up-and-coming artists can safely share music with others and be guaranteed a minimal risk of leaks. To facilitate this, shared audio can never be exported from the app, and screen recording is not allowed. For further security, artists can specify the available outputs for any shared record from the following: device speaker, Bluetooth, wired headphones, airplay, line out, and HDMI output. Hopefully, these features are helpful for both hobbyists simply looking for an easy-to-use app for offline audio files and music artists looking for a way to send unreleased music to friends in an extremely secure way. RecordHouse is always evolving and several additional features are actively under development but if you have any suggestions please reach out to us through a review or support-recordhouse@sahilsrivastava.com!
