I want to turn on audio or video recording in a way that is not reversible.

Being able to start the camera without unlocking the phone is a good step, but you can also delete the footage just recorded if someone apprehends your device. I would be interested in the option to not be able to delete that footage.

I would also be interested in being able to live-broadcast (maybe just audio?) to someone else's device to prevent the evidence from being destroyed also without having to unlock your phone.

What's the impact on the file size?

Forgive me, as I'm not a heavy Voice Memos user, but I'm a bit confused by problem statement.

Voice Memos seem to be ordered chronologically, and named after the location where they were taken (unless manually named), which seems decent unless you star getting a ton.

From the Voice Memos app I can share them to Messages, Mail, etc. Is the issue that you wanted to be able to select a voice memo to share from within Messages, instead of the other way around? Or is this more for posting audio only to social networks that only support video, and having a waveform instead of a random video of something else?

I don't get it? It sounds like it just creates a recording and saves this in a video format with some visual, which is alright I guess. Perhaps it's because I'm more of an Android person, but does ios really not have a file browser?!?!

Nope, not really for voice memos - those are locked away in the app. Unrelated, but it also has terrible built-in support for playing audio files from the file browser.

First off congrats on launching a novel idea and hitting HN front page. Question / feedback — why is there no way to see what one of these looks like on the website? You have a header that says "see it in action" that literally doesn't allow you to see the video you're saying it produces. I have an idea in my mind of what it looks like but I think you'd do well to have multiple examples illustrating different situati…

Seconded. I came here to say this.

iOS has a file browser called Files.

I believe this is an attempt at trying to level up the Voice Memos feature which has been neglected compared to other OS features.

Same here. I managed to see a video on the App Store. It creates a video with a waveform and the audio you recorded. I like it!

It would be great if I could also add some pictures and have it create transitions while the audio plays. If I only pick one photo, it could just display the image with the waveform on top.

I like sending a picture of myself, or a few of my dogs, cats and gf, because it adds that human touch that IMO is needed when talking to family and friends.

If you could make my mouth move with the audio, I'd definitely be willing to pay more for it.

Great work!
