One tap. Every place. Every atmosphere.

You photograph the places you love. Ekkos keeps how they sounded — the ambience of a moment, with a photo and the exact spot on the map.

Record with one tap, add a photo and GPS, then rediscover it on a map, in a tidy grid, through a home-screen widget — or a year later, with a Sound Anniversary.

Library

Your library grid

List, grid and full-screen playback with the photo as the backdrop — your whole archive, beautifully browsable.

Playback

Full-screen playback with photo

Play a recording full-screen over its photo, scrub the waveform, and read the notes, tags and location you saved.

Search across title, location, tags

Find any moment by title, place, tags or date. The whole library is instantly searchable.

Groups

Curated Groups — collections by trip or mood

Bundle related recordings into collections — a trip, a season, a mood — each with its own generated map illustration.

Inside a group

Inside a Group — recordings with a map

Inside a group, see every recording on a map, play them as a playlist, and share the whole set as a .soniclib bundle.

Record

Ready to record

One tap to record. Add a photo and your location for full context, or keep it audio-only. It's ready when you are.

Acoustic Trail

Get directions to where you recorded

Every recording with a GPS tag can hand you turn-by-turn directions back to the place it was made. Long-press a card in your library, tap the “…” menu on Playback, or tap the pin on the in-app map, then choose “I want to go there”. Apple Maps opens by default; if Google Maps is also installed you can pick your preferred app each time.

On the mapAmber pins for every located recording — an acoustic trail across the world.
One tap to directionsApple Maps opens by default; pick Google Maps if it's installed.
From anywhereA library card, the Playback menu, or a tap on the map pin.

Privacy isn't a feature. It's the design.

Your recordings — audio, photos, locations and notes — stay on your device and in your own private iCloud container. There's no server we operate that holds them.

On your deviceAudio, photos, GPS and notes are stored locally and synced only through your private iCloud.
No accounts, no serversNothing to sign up for, nothing we host. The app just works.
No analyticsNo third-party SDKs, no ads, no tracking of your audio. We don't even count opens.
Clear permissionsMicrophone, camera and location are asked for in context — never on launch.
You're in controlDelete a recording, or the app, and it's gone. Your memories don't expire.
Open about itThe privacy policy spells out exactly what is collected (very little) and why.
