  4. Listen with the built-in player and download the file.

About this tool

A voice memo is often faster than typing a note. This recorder uses your browser’s built-in MediaRecorder, so recordings happen locally and can be saved as a file right after you stop.

When to use it: instant voice memos that never leave your device.

Frequently asked questions

What format is the recording?
Your browser’s native format — usually WebM (Opus) — playable in most players and easy to convert if needed.
Is my recording uploaded?
Never. The audio exists only in your browser tab until you download or discard it.
Where do recordings live?
Only in the tab until you download them; after that they are ordinary audio files on your device. Nothing is uploaded, ever.
What is it good for?
Voice memos, podcast and pronunciation practice, meeting notes (with permission), and drafting ideas hands-free.
Can I record for a very long time?
Long recordings sit in browser memory, so for hour-long sessions record in parts to stay safe.
Why does the browser ask for permission?
Microphone access always requires your explicit consent — that is your privacy control, and nothing starts before you press Record.
