Trim and level with a pinch
Pinch sideways to trim and drag the edges to fine-tune. Pinch up and down to set the volume. No menus, no sliders.
How it works
One screen. One job.
Many Sounds does one thing and does it fast: recording lots of sounds, one after another, without ever leaving the main screen.

Pinch to trim
Pinch the waveform sideways: what stays on screen is what you keep. Pinch up and down to make it louder or softer.

Rename
Tap the name to type a new one, or keep the place name it got on its own.
Repeat many many times.
Then send them all at once.
Features
Made for speed.
Everything on one screen
Record, play, trim, rename and share from the same screen. There is nothing to navigate.
Send them all at once
Export every sound in one go or one by one: by email, to Files, with AirDrop or to any app.
Named after the place
Allow location and new recordings are named after where you made them, like LEXINGTON AVE NEW YORK.
Names that stay
Shared files keep the names you gave them, so there is no renaming files later.
One recording, many clips
Trim a part and save it as a copy, then trim the next part. One long take becomes many small sound files.
A closer look
See it in action.
Good for
Anything you want to keep in small pieces.
-
Sound effects & samples
Footsteps, doors, the kettle, a crowd. Collect them for videos, games and music, each one trimmed and named.
-
Music ideas
A riff, a melody, a beat on the table. Catch it before it's gone, then send it to your music app.
-
Interviews
Record each answer as its own clip, so the good parts are easy to find and share.
-
Lectures & meetings
Keep the parts that matter as short, named sounds instead of one long file.
-
Field recordings
Birds in the park, rain, city streets. Each sound is named after the place you heard it.
-
Voice notes
Ideas, to-dos and reminders, one quick sound each.
-
Language practice
Record words and phrases, play them back and compare your pronunciation.
-
Family moments
First words, songs and bedtime stories, each one kept and named.
