"When my daughters were infants I recorded them sleeping, babbling, breathing. Those recordings sat in a folder of timestamps for years. The photos from those same days were somewhere else entirely. I built Aurloom so they could finally find each other."
Edgar Furse — Builder & Girl Dad
What makes it different
01
Photo Connection
Tap the Photos icon while a recording plays. Every photo from that same day appears instantly. Swipe through them while the audio never stops — the moment comes back whole.
02
Customizable Capture
Selfie, Environment, and Interview mic presets with directional switching — built for wherever life happens. A safety track runs in parallel so nothing ever gets clipped.
03
Every Voice, Named.
Tap to label speakers and assign names to every voice in your recording. Your cast of characters saved with every memory. Power editing — bulk assign, keyboard shortcuts, NLE-style controls — available on Mac.
04
One Archive. Every Device.
Your recordings, transcripts, and speaker labels — perfectly synced across iPhone, iPad, and Mac via your own iCloud. One purchase. One archive. Always up to date.
Pricing

The first app built for your aural memories.
Local-first on your own iCloud. Plain .m4a files with every detail written directly into the audio — they play in any app, on any device, with any player. Built to last.
Aurloom is built on a simple principle: your memories belong to you. The app is local-first — your audio files live in your own iCloud account, not on our servers. We collect as little as possible and are transparent about everything we do collect.
What We Collect
Aurloom does not collect, transmit, or store your audio recordings. All files are stored locally on your device and synced via your personal iCloud account, which is governed by Apple's privacy policy.
We may collect limited, anonymized analytics to understand how the app is used (e.g. which features are used most). This data is never tied to your identity and never includes your audio content.
If you contact support at support@aurloom.app, we receive your email address and the contents of your message solely to respond to your inquiry.
Subscriptions
Subscription purchases are processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. Aurloom never sees or stores your payment information. Subscription management is handled through your Apple ID settings.
Microphone & Photos Access
Aurloom requests access to your microphone to record audio and your photo library to display photos alongside your recordings. This access is used only within the app and your data is never transmitted to external servers.
Transcription
Audio transcription may use on-device processing or Apple's speech frameworks. Audio is not sent to Aurloom's servers for transcription.
Third-Party Services
Aurloom uses RevenueCat to manage subscriptions. RevenueCat may collect anonymized purchase data as described in their privacy policy at revenuecat.com/privacy.
Data Retention & Deletion
Because your data lives in your iCloud account, you control it entirely. Deleting the app or your iCloud data removes your recordings. We do not retain copies.
Children
Aurloom is rated 4+ and is suitable for all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as the app evolves. Changes will be posted here with an updated effective date. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance.
For questions, feedback, or bug reports, email us at support@aurloom.app. We read every message and aim to respond within 48 hours.
How do I see my photos alongside a recording?
Open the Play tab and tap any recording. Once it's playing, tap the photo icon in the top-left corner. Aurloom will show every photo from your library taken on the same day. Swipe through them while the audio plays.
How do I import a voicemail?
In the Phone app, open a voicemail and tap the share icon. Choose "Save to Files" or share directly to Aurloom. You can also share any audio file from Files, Messages, or Mail directly into Aurloom using the share sheet.
Where are my recordings stored?
Your recordings live in your personal iCloud account — not on our servers. Aurloom uses iCloud Drive to sync your archive across your iPhone, iPad, and Mac automatically.
How do I cancel my subscription?
Subscriptions are managed through Apple. Go to Settings → your name → Subscriptions → Aurloom to cancel. You'll retain access until the end of your billing period. Your archive remains readable after cancellation.
What happens to my recordings if I cancel?
Your memories are always yours. Cancelling your subscription puts Aurloom into read-only mode — you can still play back and access everything you've captured. You just won't be able to record or import new audio until you resubscribe.
How do I label speakers in a recording?
Open any recording and tap the transcript. Tap a speaker label to edit it. You can assign names, use keyboard shortcuts for bulk assignment, or assign labels across multiple segments at once using the Voice Editor.
Is my audio sent to any servers?
No. Your audio never leaves your device or iCloud account. Transcription uses on-device processing. We don't have access to your recordings.
