A Place Recalled
Ambient field recordings
$2.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Capture thirty seconds of where you are — the cafe, the reading room, the beach at low tide. Press play later. The same room, a different hour.
A field recording app for the places you'd like to remember.
Press a single button and capture thirty seconds of ambient sound — the cafe in the morning, the reading room, the beach at low tide, the rooftop in summer. A Place Recalled finds the most musical loop in that soundscape, smooths the ends together, and saves it next to the coordinate where it was captured.
Later, the loop plays back like a tide. The same room. A different hour. A quiet way to return to a place by ear, without any of the noise an app usually makes.
