Private Ear Recorder

A sound-triggered recorder saving clips when microphone level exceeds a selected threshold.

Our take

Consider for consented recording with clear device indicators

Silence delay and session playback remove gaps between captured events.

Keep in mind: Calls/device changes can stop capture; clips split at ten minutes. dBFS is not calibrated environmental loudness.

What you can do

  • Set threshold
  • Adjust silence delay
  • Group/play sessions
  • Export WAV

Good for

  • Users with permission from everyone recorded.

Consider alternatives for

  • People expecting uninterrupted surveillance or a scientific sound meter.

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 18.0.
  • Calls/device changes can stop capture; clips split at ten minutes. dBFS is not calibrated environmental loudness.

Privacy & permissions

Publisher says audio stays on-device unless exported; backups may include recordings. New version uses device security, not the old password lock.
