Are you an author, a journalist, a historian, a student, a technology person, or even a special agent seeking for a bulletproof recording app? The Mac Catalyst version of a user-friendly and reliable sound recording app with support of high-quality compressed AAC.M4A and lossless Linear PCM.CAF (the safest, 64-bit, limitless Apple’s Core Audio Format). With You Record Pro, never worry about losing recordings. Long-press record, or use Quick Actions menu to quickly open the app’s settings. Tap or click on the progress bar during play to jump backward / forward. Long-press any recording to enter select mode. Long-press record / pause during record to show channels’ dBs. (Warn threshold is −20 dB, danger threshold is −7 dB.) Long-press play / pause to inspect audio details. Press the center button of earphones once to play / pause, twice to start / stop record. Switch to the ‘iPhone’ tab in the Apple Watch app to remotely control the iPhone app. (On iOS 12 and later, the app must be in the foreground.) Say “Hey Siri, remind me about this...” to create a reminder with the playback position. Use Spotlight’s keywords for better search: ‘Record’; ‘Voice’; ‘Memo’; ‘Audio’; ‘Recording’. Use keyboard shortcuts to be quick: Command-N to record / pause; Command-S to stop; Command-P to play / pause; Command-Left Arrow to jump backward; Command-Right Arrow to jump forward; Command-R to change playback speed; Command-E to enter select mode; Command-I to inspect audio details; Command-‘comma’ to open the app’s settings, or to show channels’ dBs during record. Use URL handlers for automation: yourecord://rec to record / pause; yourecord://rec?5 to record five seconds; yourecord://stop to stop; yourecord://play to play / pause. A few examples of enriched yourecord://rec URL handler: yourecord://rec?5&format=AAC&extension=M4A&channels=1&samplerate=44100&bitrate=128 yourecord://rec?5&format=LPCM&extension=CAF&channels=1&samplerate=44100&bitdepth=16 yourecord://rec?5&format=ALAC&extension=M4A&channels=1&samplerate=44100&bitdepth=32 (only 32-bit) Thank you everyone for over 50,000 downloads!

MDScan is a professional mobile scanner that transforms your iPhone into a full-fledged digital office. Forget about bulky MFPs and chaos in your documents. Do you think the built-in iOS "Notes" app is enough for scanning? Basic tools are good for taking a quick photo of a receipt, but they are powerless when it comes to working with important papers. MDScan is designed for those who value perfect quality, a structured archive, and confidentiality. Why MDScan is more than just a camera: • Preservation of physical dimensions: MDScan allows you not just to crop the image, but to use ready-made document templates. Set precise physical sizes for passports, ID cards, or custom forms so they display perfectly and are suitable for printing. • Advanced camera control: Choose the mode for the task — the system document camera for quick snapshots, the MDScan manual mode for precise focus and boundary detection, or the batch mode for multi-page contracts. • Real smart archive: Unlike the chaotic iOS gallery, your files here are organized into folders and tagged for instant search. • Enterprise-level security: Send PDFs and JPEGs in password-protected ZIP archives. • Full cloud freedom: Automatic synchronization not only with iCloud, but also with Google Drive, Dropbox, and support for the WebDAV protocol for personal servers. Turn paper chaos into a flawless digital system. Download MDScan today and manage documents like a pro!
