Why browser recording is enough for most jobs
You don't need a studio to capture a good idea. The microphone in your laptop or phone, plus a quiet room, is enough for voice notes, song sketches, and quick reminders.
Browser recording uses the Web Audio API to capture directly from your microphone, keeping everything on your device. There's no upload, no account, and no export limit - just record and save.
For the cleanest result, keep the mic a consistent distance away, avoid touching the device while recording, and record a short test first to check the level before the real take.
