About

An audio recorder focused on being concise and simple to use.

You can use it to record and remember spoken words, system audio, improvized melodies, and anything else you can do with a microphone, speaker, or both.

Features include:

  • Recording sounds from both your microphone and system at the same time. This is useful for recording calls or streaming videos on the Internet.
  • Saving in many commonly used formats. It supports ALAC, FLAC, MP3, Ogg Vorbis, Opus, and WAV.
  • Timed recording. You can set a delay before recording up to 15 seconds, and set the length of recording up to 600 seconds.
  • Adding metadata automatically. Reco can add artist and year metadata to recording files.
  • Choosing where to save recordings. You can select whether the app saves recordings into a directory of your choosing automatically or manually.
  • Saving recordings when the app quits. Even if you happen to quit the app while recording, the recording is either saved automatically, or the file chooser dialog is shown - depending on your preferences.
