Install on your phone

The phone recorder is a web app you install from your browser. Once installed it sits on your home screen as meaty, opens full screen, and is ready to record with one tap.

Before you start

• Open meaty.me in your phone's browser and sign in — with Google, with GitHub, or with your email and a password.
• Supported browsers: To be confirmed

Allow the microphone

Your phone asks for microphone access the first time you tap record. Allow it. If you said no, meaty shows Microphone access is needed to record. — see Phone troubleshooting to turn it back on.

Updates

meaty updates itself in the background. When a new version is ready, a strip says A newer meaty is ready. Update when you have a second. — tap Update, or Not now to keep going. If you're recording, it waits until you stop.

Your current version is under Account → Version.

Good to know

• Android only: share an audio file to meaty from another app's share sheet to import it (up to 200 MB). iPhone doesn't offer this.
• Notifications on iPhone work only in the installed app, on iOS 16.4 or newer.
