Voice Memos

A voice recorder that gets out of the way. Every recording lives in one list, a tap unfolds the player right inside the row, and the red button at the bottom starts a new one.

Voice Memos has no ads, no trackers, no analytics and no network access whatsoever. It does not even ask for the internet permission. Your recordings stay on your device, in your own audio folder.

Trim editor

Drag the yellow handles over the waveform to pick a section, then trim to keep it or delete to remove it. Edits are previewed before anything is written, and the result is always saved as a new recording, so the original is never touched.
