Recordia lets you record audio directly from the menu bar or with a global keyboard shortcut. This can be useful for recording voice memos, meetings, lectures, interviews, phone calls, voice-overs, and more.

Hey PH. I made this one in a few evenings because I needed the satisfaction of finishing something. I have made a few menu bar apps in the past, so it's kind of my specialty. The app is intentionally simple and opinionated for ease of use. I've picked the best lossy and lossless audio formats and presets (balancing quality, size, and compatibility), so you don't have to think about it. I'm also considering adding an input volume slider to the menu. Let me know if that would be useful to you. I'm happy to receive feature requests or other feedback either here or through the “Send Feeback” button in the app.

Congrats on the launch @sindresorhus ! 🥳.. I would gladly pay for a one time fee on your product if it had an option to automatically upload the audio files to something like Google Drive and provide me with an unlisted, shareable link to be pasted it on communication systems like Slack o Basecamp. All the best.

@aojedal I unfortunately don't intend to do this. There are lots of existing apps for sharing audio and files. If I were to do this, I would have support both Google Drive, Dropbox, and more, or do my own cloud hosting (which is super hard). However, you can achieve want. Just let Recordia reveal the recording in Finder when done, right-click the file, and then select "Share using Google Drive". More info. I'll try to think of ways to make it easier to share a recording though. Maybe I could show the last recording in the menu with a share sub-menu containing share services.

@sindresorhus fair enough!. An easier option to share from the sub-menu sounds like a great step forward. All the best.

Thank you, Sindre! This is very useful! By the way, I was looking a few weeks ago for a simple proxy app for Mac that also lives in the menu bar. Something to quickly change the current proxy, see which one is used, etc. Do you know something that is close to this?

@julien_le_coupanec I'm not aware of any Mac app for this, unfortunately. But if you use Alfred, I found this: https://github.com/lululau/proxy...
