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.
