Built for the useful details
A recorder that stays with the conversation.
Capture an idea, an interview, a meeting, or a passing sound without leaving the app. Retro Recorder pairs a tactile recording interface with tools that make the recording easy to use afterward.

Find the moment
Add time tags while recording or playing back. Jump between highlights in the waveform or synchronized transcript.
04
Clean and protect
Choose audio processing such as noise reduction and echo cancellation, then keep recordings available through private iCloud sync.
One recording, many useful views
From a live signal to a usable record.
The interface is deliberately focused: record, read, replay, and return to exactly the part you need.
A simple routine
Make every recording easier to return to.
Set the capture
Pick an available microphone, audio format, sample rate, recognition language, and processing options. Retro Recorder remembers your recent choices.
Record and mark
Start recording and watch the live visualization and transcript. Add a tag whenever a point deserves a fast route back.
Review with context
Replay from the waveform or the text, edit the transcript, rename the recording, share selected files, and inspect recording details.
Your recordings, your account
Built with a private place to keep your work.
Recordings, transcripts, tags, and their context stay on your device. When iCloud is available, Retro Recorder can synchronize your data through your private CloudKit database on devices signed in to the same Apple Account.
