Record audio without installing anything

Whether you need a quick voice note, a voiceover take, or an audio test, this browser-based recorder captures your microphone with a live level meter and lets you download the result — no app, no account, and nothing leaving your device.

Get a clean take

Watch the meter as you speak: a healthy signal sits in the green-to-yellow range. If it pins into the red you are clipping — lower your input gain or back off the mic. Record, play it back, and re-record until it sounds right.

Need narration synced to your screen? ScreenBuddy for Mac records microphone and system audio directly over your screen capture.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this audio recorder free and private?

Yes. It records using your browser's built-in audio API, the clip stays on your device, and nothing is uploaded to any server. There is no sign-up and no watermark.

What audio format does it record?

The browser records WebM/Opus audio, which plays in modern browsers and editors and is small in size. You can convert it to MP3 or WAV afterward in any audio tool if you need wider compatibility.

Why is my recording silent?

Check that you allowed microphone permission, that the right input is selected at the OS level, and that the mic is not muted. The live level meter is the quickest check — if it does not move while you speak, no audio is being captured.

Can I record system audio too?

This tool records your microphone. To capture system or tab audio along with the screen, use our online screen recorder and enable "Share audio," or use ScreenBuddy for Mac to record mic and system audio together.
