Reclip is an iOS app that continuously records a two‑minute rolling audio buffer on the device and lets users capture a moment with a single tap, moving the snippet to a permanent library. The app provides in‑app trimming, captioning, and sharing while automatically deleting unsaved audio to preserve privacy and conserve storage.

Problem
Smartphone users often miss brief, spontaneous audio moments because recording must be started before the event occurs, leading to lost content that could be valuable for personal storytelling or social sharing.
Solution
Reclip runs continuously in the background and maintains a rolling two‑minute buffer of microphone input on the device. When a user decides an audio snippet is worth keeping, a single tap saves the buffered segment to a permanent library. Saved clips can be trimmed, annotated, and shared directly from the app, while any unsaved audio is automatically erased, ensuring that only user‑approved content remains on the phone. The entire workflow operates locally, preserving privacy and avoiding the need for cloud storage or constant internet connectivity.
Target Audience
The primary users are mobile content creators, journalists, and everyday smartphone owners who want to capture unplanned audio moments for personal or social media use.
