Description
Application to record audio (voice) in the background using widgets, a shortcut launcher, quick settings (a tile), a floating window which appears on the top of all other applications or different auto-start recording options (set a timer, recording on charging, Bluetooth, AUX connection events).
Features: - Background voice recording - you can continue recording audio when the application is minimized and use other applications at the same time. - Loop Recording - auto deletion of old recording files when there is not enough space for new recordings and you can set max space usage for all recordings. - Widgets - start and stop recording directly from the home screen without launching the application, also pause or resume the current voice recording. - Separate launcher icon to start and stop recording without launching the application. - Floating window with the recording control buttons on top of all applications. - Recording to any folder of the internal storage (memory) of your device or to an external SD card. - Locking recordings from overwriting during loop recording. - Auto-starting voice recording options by scheduling a recording using a timer, on charging on/off, Bluetooth device connection/disconnection, AUX-cable connection events, or on the app launch. - Play recordings in the built-in audio player with skip silence option. - Share/upload a selected voice recording to other applications (share to your friends). - Dark/Light/Dynamic theme
Privacy: All the files you record will be saved only on your local device. The application does not backup your voice recordings (does not have any connections to servers). The app will continue to run in the background (the foreground service that appears in the notification bar) when a voice recording is active, when you return to the home screen, switch to another app, or lock your phone in order to be able to continue voice recording, and when you turn on the features for automatic voice recording (if you close the background service, these features will not work). The app uses Firebase Analytics for basic anonymous analytics (see privacy info at https://helgeapps.github.io/PolicyApps/)

Comments on Voice Recorder in Background for Android
★★★★★MoSeZ App· Dec 23, 2025
This program is absolutely fantastic, especially the floating control bar. We just hope you'll add the mp3 extension.
★★★★★Paul O'Connell· Feb 10, 2025
The sound recorder works fantastic. It is like the dash cam app just without the dashcam. 1 thing I would love to see. Can you add geotagging like to you with the dashcam app on playback? Make it optional, of course, for people who feel they don't need it. That would be helpful for people dealing with those who cry wolf all the time.
★★★★★Hassan Umer· Oct 24, 2025
Best option to record everything in the background and also sound quality is perfect
★★★★☆Margarita Rita· Apr 8, 2026
Could you pleeeease please make a visible sound wave during the playing of recorded audio? It is soooo convenient, and really would make this app even better. Thank you for the recording in the background feature, a lot!

Does not actually record in the background, though pretends to do so. When I leave the app and return to it, the recording seems to still be happening, but when I stop the recording, the file that gets saved stops at the moment I left the app.
★☆☆☆☆Tezzy Murphy· Nov 18, 2025
Not an in call recorder but voice recorder, uninstalled, it's possible that the law has changed here in UK, I've tried over 10 and none work. Horrible they don't want people being recorded it seems, sad to be honest with you.
★☆☆☆☆Pavan kumar· Sep 1, 2025
This is a very good app, but there is an issue, I have scheduled the recording to specific time but at the same time someone called and scheduled recording was started. After that it's not recorded voice it's recorded only calls till that scheduled time is over. So please fix this issue.
