A recorder with character
Little details. A better listen.
Segmented displays, a physical-style slider, and live playback
levels give Private Ear the feel of a dedicated recording
device.
After you start listening, it can continue with your device
locked or while you use another app. Microphone use remains
indicated. Calls, microphone changes, and other audio
interruptions can stop listening.
Audio and settings stay on your device. There are no accounts,
ads, analytics, or tracking. Sharing is your choice; device
backups may include recordings.
An old favorite, a fresh start
Welcome back to Private Ear.
Readable recordings from the original app are imported
automatically on the same device.
Version 3.0 replaces the old in-app password lock with your
device’s security. Use your device passcode and iOS app locking to
control access. WAV sharing replaces the former desktop transfer
client.
Microphone permission is required. The meter shows digital
microphone levels (dBFS), not calibrated environmental decibels.
Record only with the permission of the people involved.
