How it works
Every way in. One way to save.
Seven ways to start a recording, one screen that never changes, and a save that can’t fail.
In the app
A record button at the bottom of every screen, in the same spot every time.
- Best when moqyi is already open
- Optional live text while you talk
Home Screen widget
Tap it and moqyi opens straight into recording — no note list, no loading.
- Small: one big record circle
- Medium: record + your last two notes
Lock Screen widget
The same button, placed on the Lock Screen. Record without unlocking first.
- Circle or rectangle style
- Swipe up and recording continues
Control Center
A Record Note control. While you record it flips to Recording, with Stop.
- Also placeable on the Lock Screen
- Works from inside any app
Siri & AirPods
Say the phrase and recording starts. With AirPods, press and hold the stem first.
- Works hands-free
- Rides on Siri — nothing to set up
Back Tap
Double- or triple-tap the back of your iPhone. A one-time setting points it at the moqyi Shortcut.
- Works with a case on
- Setting lives in Accessibility
Ruled out, honestly
Side button
Apple reserves it. No app can use it to start a recording.
Volume buttons
Can’t start a recording from the Lock Screen or another app. Inside moqyi you can set them to stop one.
Recording screen
An empty screen, on purpose.
A vibration the instant recording starts — you feel it before you see it.
A waveform and a timer. Nothing to read, nothing to decide.
One big Stop. It saves, every time.
“Swipe up to keep recording in the background.” That’s the only line of text.
iOS has to bring an app to the front to start the microphone, and apps can’t send themselves away afterwards. So we made that moment fast, and identical on the 50th use as on the first.
Live Activity & Dynamic Island
You always know it’s recording.
Pick your style in Settings. Stop saves without opening the app.
Waveform + word count
A moving wave and a live word count on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.
Recording… + Stop
The simplest indicator. Just the essentials, and one button.
Widgets
One tap from wherever you are.
Home Screen, small. One big record circle.
