Podcasts I recorded this way

Each guest joined from their own computer and was recorded in full quality on their side. Yapcorder gives anyone that same setup.

How it works

The check screen before joining: camera preview, microphone level, and four green checks.

1Check

Open the studio. Your camera, microphone, browser and free space are checked before you start.

The host's studio with a guest named Matt waiting, and Let in and Deny buttons.

2Let in

Send your guest one link. They wait until you click Let in, so only people you invite get in.

3Record

Press Start recording. Both computers record in full quality while the log shows what is saved.

The files page: a video file and an audio file for each person, all marked Complete.

4Download

Stop, and the files are ready: a video and an audio file per person, plus a timeline for your editor.

Built so a recording does not go missing

19:03:10You press Start recording. Both computers record in full quality.
19:41:52Your guest's Wi-Fi drops for a minute. The call freezes. The recording does not.
19:42:57Their connection is back. The pieces saved on their computer upload by themselves.
19:58:20You press Stop. Every piece of every file is counted.

Saved before it is sent

Every few seconds the recording is written to the person's own computer first, then uploaded. Nothing waits on the call.

A closed tab is not the end

If a guest closes the tab or their laptop crashes, they open the same link again and the rest uploads.

Muting only affects the call

Hide your camera or mute for a cough. Your recording keeps running, so your editor decides what to cut.

Every piece is counted

Your files page shows whether every part of every file arrived. You never find out at the edit.

Easy for your guests

Guests click your link, check their camera and microphone, and wait for you to let them in. Nothing to install, no account to make. When you finish, their recording finishes uploading and they can close the tab.

A guest's phone: waiting for the host to let them in.

A guest's phone after recording: everything is uploaded.

If you want AI editing, live streaming or hosting in the same place, the bigger tools do more. Yapcorder does one job: a clean file for every person, a files page that counts every piece, and a timeline your editor can import, for $2 or $10 a month.

Checked on each tool’s pricing page in October 2026. Prices change, so check before you buy.

Questions

Is the free trial really free?

Yes. You get 60 minutes of recording in 1080p with no card and no watermark. When the minutes are used, you choose a plan or stop. Nothing is ever charged automatically.

Does my guest need an account?

No. You send them a link, they open it in Chrome, type their name and wait for you to let them in.

Which browsers does it work in?

Google Chrome on a laptop or desktop, or Chrome on an Android phone. It does not work in Safari or on iPhone yet, and the page tells guests to switch.

What happens if someone's internet drops?

The call may freeze, but their computer keeps recording. Everything uploads once they are back online, and you can watch it arrive.

What if a recording goes missing?

Email me and I will refund that month in full. The files page counts every piece of every file, so you will know straight away if anything did not arrive.

How long do you keep my files?

7 days on Starter and 30 days on Pro, then they are deleted. Download them for your editor before then.

Can I cancel?

Yes, any time from your dashboard. Your plan keeps working until the end of the month you paid for.

Why did you build this?

I record podcasts and was paying for a recording tool every month. The part I actually used was one clean recording per person, so I built that, kept it simple and priced it low.

Is it finished?

It is new and in early access. If anything goes wrong, email me at khalid@khalidfarhan.com and I will fix it.
