Denoise cleans up bad voice recordings. Instantly. On your iPhone or iPad. Completely private. Tap one button. Background noise, fan hum, traffic, room echo, and wind are gone. Your voice stays clear. No audio leaves your device. No subscription needed to denoise. No DAW jargon to learn. NEW: VOICE RECORDER THAT CLEANS AS YOU RECORD • Record right in Denoise: tap + and Recorder. Works with the built-in microphone and with wired, USB and Bluetooth mics. • On iOS 18 and later, Denoise can remove the background noise while you record, so the clean recording is ready the moment you stop. • Pause, resume or stop from the Lock Screen and the Dynamic Island. • A call pauses the recording instead of ending it. Every take is saved as you record, so nothing is lost if the app closes. NEW: SHORTEN LONG RECORDINGS • AI · Shorten trims long pauses and speeds up speech without changing the voice. A 73-minute lecture comes out at about 50 minutes. • Choose how much with one slider. Short pauses stay, so it still sounds natural. Works on audio and video. WHAT'S NEW IN 4.0 • AI Denoise (Free): on-device neural network, built for voices. Runs in seconds. • Pro Rescue: restores impossible recordings - clipped audio, heavy reverb, low-quality phone calls, distant voice memos. Premium. • Before/after toggle: hear the difference instantly. • Faster export with iOS 17 and 18. WHO IT'S FOR • Podcasters cleaning up guest tracks recorded on iPhone • Journalists rescuing field interviews • Students saving lecture recordings from echoey halls • Creators making TikTok, Reels, and Shorts that don't sound like they were recorded in a parking lot • Anyone who hits Voice Memos and regrets it later WHY DENOISE • 100% on-device. We never see your audio. • Works on what you already have: Voice Memos, Photos videos, Files, share sheet, and as a Photos extension. • Pro power-user mode keeps the manual 5-band EQ and noise-floor slider for people who want it. • Export to .m4a or .mp3, send anywhere. Try Denoise on your worst recording. We bet it sounds usable. DENOISE PRO Denoise Pro is a premium subscription that unlocks unlimited saving and exporting of your cleaned recordings, plus Pro Rescue, our most powerful restoration for difficult audio. The core AI denoiser is always free - Denoise Pro keeps the app ad-free and funds its continued development. Denoise Pro is available as a monthly auto-renewable subscription or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at purchase, and a subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict

The call

Denoise and RHD Light both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 38% of Denoise's written reviews are positive against 0% of RHD Light's. Denoise also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (33 vs 1). RHD Light's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

RHD Light holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Denoise has 33 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of Denoise's written reviews are positive against 0% of RHD Light's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Denoise ships an update every 4 days, RHD Light every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
