OffgridVox

What it does

OffgridVox turns roomy, echoey or noisy voice recordings into clear speech, entirely on your iPhone. No data is ever uploaded to a server.

It’s built for podcasters, journalists, teachers and anyone recording voice in less-than-ideal places: a kitchen, a classroom, a hotel room. Like every Offgrid Studio app, all processing happens on-device.

What’s new in 2.1

• Video. Import a video from Files. OffgridVox removes the noise and echo from its sound and puts the cleaned audio back into the original video. The picture isn’t re-encoded, so it doesn’t lose quality (Premium).
• A free trial with every feature. Your first 3 enhancements have no length limit and include video.
• Trial counter. A line under the Enhance button shows how many trial enhancements are left.
• Clearer Premium screen. It explains why it opened and compares Free and Premium.

Introduced in 2.0

Our biggest update so far. Version 2.0 rebuilds the processing pipeline around echo removal.

• AI echo removal. A new on-device de-reverberation model (Sidon) reduces the room sound that makes recordings feel distant.
• Voice first, then repair. OffgridVox separates the voice from everything else before cleaning it, so the repair works on the speech itself.
• Automatic clean-up chain. Clicks and pops, electrical hum, plosives, harsh sibilance, a noise gate and level balancing, handled in one pass.
• Long recordings, no seams. Long files are processed in sections and joined back without audible breaks.
• Before and after. Switch between the original and the cleaned version to hear the difference.
• Progress you can read. See how far along a file is and roughly how long is left.
• One-tap flow. Pick a recording, tap once, get a cleaned file.
• Seven languages. The app is now available in 7 languages.
• A new icon.
• Open-source credits. A new acknowledgements page lists the open-source work OffgridVox builds on.

Requirements

iPhone with iOS 18 or later. All processing runs on the device, so longer recordings take longer on older iPhones.

Your first 3 enhancements include every feature, any length and video included. After that, the free version enhances recordings up to 1 minute. Unlimited length and video are a one-time purchase of £14.99 (US$14.99 in the US; prices vary by region) — no subscription.

Frequently asked questions
