Local Audio Recorder

Record audio from your browser and save it locally with full privacy.

In an increasingly digital world, the ability to easily record high-quality audio from your browser can be a game-changer—whether you're capturing voice notes, recording interviews, logging thoughts on the go, or preserving meetings. The Free Audio Recorder Extension delivers exactly that: a lightweight, privacy-focused, and intuitive tool that empowers users to record audio directly from their browser. With the new internationalization (i18n) support, this extension is now more accessible than ever to users around the globe. What is Free Audio Recorder? Free Audio Recorder is a browser-based audio recording extension designed to offer seamless, microphone-based recording functionality without relying on cloud services or external servers. Everything happens locally—your voice, your data, your control. Built with simplicity in mind, this extension allows users to start and stop audio recording with just a click, instantly saving the output as a .wav file. The recordings are downloaded directly to your device, ensuring full ownership and privacy. Key Features Instant Audio Capture At the core of the extension is its fast, one-click recording capability. Once you allow microphone access (prompted at first use), you can start capturing high-fidelity audio instantly. There’s no login, no setup, and no complicated interface—just press Start, and your voice is recorded. Local File Download Unlike other tools that send your recordings to cloud platforms or require uploads, Free Audio Recorder operates entirely within your browser. When you stop recording, your audio is immediately packaged into a .wav file and downloaded to your system. This feature ensures your privacy is protected while making it easy to share, back up, or edit the file as needed. Internationalization (i18n) Support The latest version introduces internationalization support using i18n framework. The extension interface, name, and description can now be easily translated into multiple languages, making it fully adaptable for non-English-speaking users. This is crucial for educational institutions, international teams, and global users who want tools that feel native. Privacy-Centric Design The extension does not transmit or store data externally. Microphone access is handled securely by the browser’s getUserMedia() API, and the captured audio is retained only on your device. No audio is uploaded, and no network permissions are required. Simple Interface Designed with minimalism in mind, the interface features just two primary buttons—Start Recording and Stop Recording—making it easy for users of all ages and skill levels to understand and operate. No Background Resource Usage The extension is built for efficiency. It only runs when activated, and doesn’t drain system resources in the background. This makes it ideal for users who prioritize performance and battery life, especially on laptops. To begin using this extension, please right click the extension icon, ensure you go to "View Web Permissions", and allow Microphone permissions to begin recording.
