Reco

Reco is an audio recording app designed for elementary OS.

Screenshot

One day when I joined a discussion in my department I had to take a minutes with my elementary laptop. The discussion was so high-paced that I couldn't hear and write down everything into the minutes. After coming back home I searched whether there was a sound recorder designed for elementary OS but I couldn't find, althought there were some non-elementary apps like GNOME Sound Recorder. I decided to create one designed for and fits in elementary OS.

  • you join a discussion and take your minutes later
  • you want to record talk with your friends or lover
  • you want to stream videos on the Internet

Features Include:

  • Timed recording
