About

Loop Sound Recorder

Capture what just happened. Loorec is a different kind of audio recorder. Instead of creating hours of recordings and filling your storage, Loorec keeps listening in a temporary rolling buffer. When something happens that you want to keep, simply save it from your iPhone or Apple Watch. The moments before you hit Save — from your iPhone or Apple Watch — become your recording. Whether it’s an unexpected idea, an important part of a conversation, a memorable sound, or something you simply didn’t know you wanted to record until it happened — Loorec lets you capture it. :: LISTEN FOR HOURS. SAVE ONLY WHAT MATTERS. :: Loorec is designed to stay ready without continuously creating permanent recordings. • Keep Loorec listening while you need it • Save only the recent audio you choose • Save instantly from your iPhone or Apple Watch • Avoid long, unnecessary recordings • Quickly capture moments after they happen • Manage your saved recordings directly from the app • Simple, focused interface inspired by a physical recording device :: A RECORDER THAT WORKS BACKWARDS :: Traditional recorders require you to know that something important is about to happen. Loorec changes that. Keep it listening, and when you hear something worth keeping, save the moment that just happened — right from your iPhone or Apple Watch. :: PRIVACY BY DESIGN :: Loorec is built around intentional recording. Audio from the rolling buffer is not treated as a permanent recording unless you choose to save it. Please review our Privacy Policy for complete information about how Loorec handles your data. :: PREMIUM FEATURES :: Loorec may offer additional features through optional in-app purchases or subscriptions. Any paid features and applicable subscription terms are clearly shown before purchase. Payment is processed securely through your Apple Account. Subscriptions, where applicable, can be managed or cancelled from your Apple Account subscription settings.
