Frequently Asked Questions
I have a feature request, bug report, or some feedback
Click the feedback button in the app or send it here.
How can I preview the recording when done?
First, ensure the “Show recording in Finder after saving” setting is enabled. When the recording is shown in Finder, press the Space key to preview it.
How can I trim the recording when done?
Preview the recording as described above and then click the trim button.
How can I record system audio?
In the Recordia menu, under “Audio Source”, choose “System Audio” to capture all audio playing on your Mac, or “Microphone + System Audio” to record both into a single file.
Recording system audio requires macOS 26 or later. On older versions, you can install the BlackHole audio driver, set up a multi-output device, and then select “BlackHole” as the input device in Recordia.
How can I transcribe the audio (speech to text)?
Recordia does not support transcription, but check out my Aiko app. You can easily share a recording to Aiko after you finish recording.
Why 48 kHz and not 44.1 kHz?
48 kHz is the standard for audio in today’s video production. It’s also the internal production standard for many audio production companies. 44.1 kHz was popularized by music CDs.
Does it do noise reduction?
macOS does some noise reduction by default. For stronger noise reduction, check out this free app.
Can I use my iPhone as a microphone?
Yes, follow the guide here.
Why is this free without ads?
I just enjoy making apps. Consider leaving a nice review on the App Store.
