Description
Simple Recorder
Simple Recorder is a great option for Mac users looking for a better recording tool than Apple's Voice Memos. While Voice Memos is okay, it has its flaws. For one, it doesn't give you much in terms of quality or format customization. Plus, finding your files can be tricky since it tracks your location.
Why Choose Simple Recorder?
This app is actually more advanced than what Apple offers. You can record in M4A and MP3, and you've got the freedom to customize things like the bitrate, sample rate, and channel mode. It's super handy because you can control it with hotkeys or access it from the menu bar.
User-Friendly Features
You’ll find Simple Recorder right in your Dock and menu bar. Just click the Dock icon to start recording, and click it again to stop. If you set up a default output folder, your recordings will save there automatically. If not, you’ll just need to choose where to save them.
Keyboard Shortcuts
If you're more of a keyboard person, don’t worry! You can set hotkeys to start, pause, and stop recordings easily. Of course, you can always use the menu bar too—but that takes an extra click! You'll see how long you're recording right in both the Dock and menu bar.
Better File Management
A big perk of Simple Recorder over Voice Memos is that you get to pick between M4A and MP3 formats. With Apple’s app, you're stuck with just M4A, which isn’t very user-friendly since they don’t let you access files directly. Simple Recorder makes managing your recordings way easier!
Comprehensive Quality Settings
The quality settings on this app are impressive! You can choose various bitrates, customize sample rates, and even decide whether you want stereo or mono recordings.
A Well-Designed App
Overall, Simple Recorder packs a lot into a small package while still being easy to use. The customization options are perfect for anyone wanting more control over their audio work.
Future Suggestions
I’d love to see an update where you could remove the app from the Dock entirely and just use it from the menu bar or with hotkeys—that would be awesome!
