How do I find previous recordings?

Is my memo gone or hidden? App is on my phone, but actual widget on first page Home Screen is missing. When I open the app it displays “this is a sample memo…”, and I don’t see a way to access previous memos, including an important one needed for upcoming doctor appointment. Did I lose the memos by accidentally doing something wrong, or do they exist and I just can’t find them? So bummed, don’t know if anyone will see this question and have an answer, and where I’d see a reply.

Update — August 2026Version 1.1.4 is now out, and it fixes the two things I promised.1. Your memos are no longer replaced by the sample memos.Before, if the app could not read your saved memos, it showed thesamples — and could then save over your real ones. That no longerhappens. The app now keeps a spare copy and restores it automatically.If it still cannot read anything, it tells you and stops, instead ofwriting over your memos.2. Backups are now automatic.They are made every time a recording stops, and every time you leavethe app. You no longer have to remember the save button. They go to theKoeMemo folder in iCloud Drive and on your iPhone, in the Files app.I also fixed a crash that could happen when starting a recording from Siri.Two things I should be honest about:- If your memo was already lost before you updated, this cannot bring it back. Checking the Files app for backup_ files, as described below, is still the best chance.- Finding old recordings has not changed. There are still only the 5 tabs, and no history list. I still want to make that clearer.Thank you for reporting this — it is the reason these changes exist.-----------Hi, and thank you for taking the time to write. I'm sorry for the worry this has caused, especially with an appointment coming up.From what you describe, I don't believe this is something you did wrong. Under some conditions the app appears to fail to read its saved data and falls back to showing the built-in sample memos. I'm still investigating the exact cause, and I intend to address it.Please try this first, as your memo may still be recoverable. If you tapped the save button in the app (the downward-arrow-into-tray icon at the bottom left), it should have written a backup text file. Open the Files app and check both of these places:- iCloud Drive, in a folder named KoeMemo- On My iPhone, in a folder named KoeMemoLook for files named backup_large_..., backup_medium_..., backup_small_..., backup_lockLarge_... or backup_lockSmall_..., each followed by a date and time. Up to 10 of the most recent backups per memo slot are kept. The iCloud Drive copy is stored outside the app, so it may still be there even if the app was removed and reinstalled at some point, which is worth checking first.If you never used the save button, those backup files are unlikely to exist. I'm sorry. Relying on a manual save is a shortcoming in the current design, and automatic backups are something I want to add.On finding previous recordings: the app does not keep a list of past recordings. It has 5 fixed memo slots (Large, Medium and Small for Home Screen widgets, plus 2 for Lock Screen widgets), selectable with the tabs at the top of the screen. Each new dictation is added to the top of whichever slot is currently selected. So if a memo is not in one of those 5 tabs, there is no separate history to browse. I realise that is not obvious from the interface, and I would like to make it clearer.If you have trouble locating those files, or any other questions, you can reach me directly: in the app, tap the gear icon, then Contact Us. Or email mozksoft+koememo@gmail.com. I will reply there.

* You can now set a photo as the widget background (adjust the visible area by dragging and pinching) * Text color now switches automatically between white and black to match the background. A text shadow and a setting to darken the background are also available * You can now choose the font (Gothic, Mincho, Rounded) and the widget margin for each memo * The editor now shows a marker for where the widget stops displaying text * Fixed an issue where text wrapping could differ between the widget and the editor * Fixed an issue where notes starting with a number could be cut off in the widget * The keyboard is now easier to dismiss (swipe down on the text or tap outside the note) * Tidied up the controls at the bottom of the screen to make it easier to choose font size, color, and style * iOS 17 and earlier are no longer supported (iOS 18 or later is required)
