Turn your Apple Watch into a wireless mic. Put your iPhone anywhere and film yourself from afar: the Watch captures your voice up close, clearly, without buying or charging an external microphone. HOW IT WORKS β’ The iPhone records the video with its camera. β’ The Apple Watch records the voice right next to the speaker: wear it on your wrist, or pop the strap off and hold it like a handheld mic. β’ RecordW automatically aligns and merges the Watch audio with the video. The result is saved to Photos. MADE FOR β’ Reels and talking-head videos, with the iPhone on a tripod. β’ Impromptu interviews: hold the Watch close to whoever is speaking. β’ Tutorials and product videos, moving freely on camera. CLIPS FROM YOUR WRIST One tap on the Watch marks a clip without stopping the take; each clip is saved separately to Photos, ready to share. Pause and resume the recording from the watch, without going back to the iPhone. RECORDW PRO β ONE-TIME PURCHASE The free version includes Watch-mic takes of up to 30 seconds (recording with just the iPhone is never limited). RecordW Pro removes the limit forever with a single purchase: no subscriptions. NOTHING ELSE TO BUY No earbuds in the shot, no receivers to pair: the watch you already wear is the microphone. RecordW is ideal for reels, quick interviews and casual recordings. For professional productions or very noisy environments, a dedicated microphone may give better results.
