About

Voice Recorder

Features
Read full description

A voice recorder that keeps its own house in order. Tap the mic, speak, give the memo a color tag — and never scroll a nameless list of recordings again. Most recorders hand you a chronological pile. VoiceMemoTag puts a tag on every capture the moment you save it, so your library stays sorted by what the recording is about: Meetings, Ideas, Reminders, Personal, Music, or any tag you invent with your own name and color. One tap on a tag chip and only those memos remain on screen. WHAT YOU GET - One-tap capture with a live waveform, so you can see your levels while you talk instead of hoping the mic caught it - A color tag on every memo, so a hundred recordings still read like an organized list instead of a wall of timestamps - Drag along a memo's waveform to scrub straight to the moment you actually need, without replaying the whole thing - Filter by tag chip, star the memos that matter, and pull any recording back from the search field by its title - Ask Vox, the built-in assistant, things like "what did I record today?" or "show my longest recordings" and get the answer from your own library - Choose Everyday, High, or Studio capture quality so you decide the trade between file size and richness PERFECT FOR - Students who record lectures and want them filed by subject, not by date - Musicians catching a melody or a lyric line before it evaporates - Anyone who runs meetings and calls and needs the audio back in seconds - People whose best ideas arrive while walking, driving, or half asleep WHY NOT JUST USE THE STOCK VOICE MEMOS APP? Because it hands you one long chronological list. There are no color tags, no tag filter chips, no favorites star, no per-tag breakdown of where your recording time goes, no daily reminder set to the hour you actually think best, and no assistant that answers questions about your own library. That is the entire difference here. PRIVACY Recordings stay in this app's own storage on your iPhone. There is no account to create, no cloud upload, no ads, and no tracking. FULL ACCESS Recording, color tags, waveform scrubbing, tag filters, favorites, search, Vox, capture-quality options, daily reminders, and library stats are unlocked with full access. Choose a weekly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel anytime in Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions. Record the next idea before it gets away — install VoiceMemoTag and tag your first memo tonight.
