Most recording apps feel like software. Reel feels like hardware. Reel is a multitrack tape-style field recorder in your pocket. Record your hardware jams, capture ideas in the rehearsal room, a live gig, collect sounds out in the field, digitise your vinyl or catch the moment inspiration hits. Connect your interface, hit record and capture it before it's gone. The disc spins. The transport clicks. Rewind ramps up the way tape actually does. Every interaction is physical, immediateβ¦

What's new
Version 1.5.27 Β· 16 Sep 2026 Β· 23 days ago
Ready for iOS 27, plus a round of fixes from your reports. NEW - Open last reel on launch: a Settings switch that brings back the reel you were working on, with its mix, pitch and loop, instead of a blank deck. iOS 27 - Recording, monitoring and playback are clean again without crackle. iOS 27 changed how it drives audio and Reel now asks for exactly what it needs on every phone. - Fast forward and rewind respond the moment you touch them as it was pre iOS 27. - The Library no longer opens with the keyboard up. The search keyboard drops when you scroll or tap Done. - Larger text and Display Zoom leave the recorder's layout alone. The timecode always fits. - Fixed a crash when opening the Library. - Reel picks up cleanly when you swap an interface while it is in the background. STABILITY - Fixed the most common crash in 1.5.1, which hit when iOS put Reel to sleep during an iCloud sync. - Fixed crashes when a USB interface is unplugged during a rebuild, flaps on connect or is monitored while its route changes. - Fixed a crash when deleting a cue. - Recording works again after a multichannel interface is unplugged. TRANSPORT - Play, fast forward or rewind pressed during the tape stop respond right away. No freeze, no thud. - Long reels stay in sync after rewinding to the start. - Switching the output mid-playback keeps the tape rolling. RECORDING - Unplugging an interface keeps your selected track, so the next take never lands on track 1 by mistake. - Pitch is saved even without locking it, so exports and bounces print what you heard. CONTROLS - Channel picker taps in the Inputs sheet register first time. - Fixed the volume fader jumping from 0 straight to 37 when a MIDI fader starts moving. On-screen faders now track your MIDI faders the whole way. - The time signature no longer flips on its own and the tempo ramp stops when you scroll away. LIBRARY - Sort and search your reels. Every row shows date and time. - Select All and Delete only touch the rows you can see. - Restore from Files rebuilds Library entries for recordings that lost theirs. Launching with AirPods already connected on iOS 27 and hearing nothing? Pick the AirPods again in the output menu. We are on it. Spot something off, or have an idea for Reel?
