Get directions to where you recorded

Every recording with a GPS tag can hand you turn-by-turn directions back to the place it was made. Long-press a card in your library, tap the “…” menu on Playback, or tap the pin on the in-app map, then choose “I want to go there”. Apple Maps opens by default; if Google Maps is also installed you can pick your preferred app each time.

My Sound Library is a personal sound archive — a photo library for the ambience of every place that matters to you. Capture the world with your iPhone's microphone, an optional photo and your exact location. Tag each recording with notes and keywords, then rediscover those moments on a map, in a tidy grid, through a home-screen widget, or via Sound Anniversaries that surface a recording a year later. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT • Record audio with one tap. Optional camera + GPS for full context. • Beautiful library: list, grid and full-screen playback with the photo as backdrop. • Acoustic Trail on the map: amber pins for every located recording. • Curated Groups: bundle related recordings into collections (a trip, a season, a mood) — each group gets a generated illustration map, in-group playlist playback, and shareable .soniclib bundles. • Sound Postcards: share as a 1080×1920 portrait video that plays in any app — friends with My Sound Library can re-import it as a recording — or just the audio as a lightweight file. • Home-screen widget that surfaces a different memory each day. • Sound Anniversaries: a notification a year, two years, or three after each recording. • Home Screen Quick Action: long-press the app icon to start a new recording instantly. • iCloud sync: your library follows you across iPhone, iPad and a new phone. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your recordings stay on your device and in your private iCloud container. No accounts, no servers, no analytics on your audio. Camera and microphone permission are requested with clear context — never surprise-style. ACCESSIBILITY Full VoiceOver labels and identifiers, dynamic type, reduced motion support, sufficient contrast in dark mode. Voice Control users can drive every control by name. FREE & PRO Up to 10 recordings on the free tier — enough to capture a weekend trip. Upgrade once (lifetime) or monthly for unlimited recordings and watermark-free Sound Postcards. Your memories don't expire. Your app shouldn't charge as if they do. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
