Proof Recorder (free)

You are in a car accident, the other driver is at fault and first confesses but later denies his fault and you have no way to prove it.

Your boss invites you to his office and treats you most irrespectfully and it is your word against his if you want to take it up with people higher up in the hierarchy.

You are a victim of abuse and violence from law enforcement but you have done nothing wrong.

You were treated unfairly by a teacher during an oral exam.

You were a victim of sexual harassment and need some proof to file a complaint.

In all these situations, it would have been great if you could have whipped out your phone and recorded the proceedings. Obviously, enabling a voice recorder in these circumstances would be nearly impossible. The Proof app is the solution.

This app is designed to secretly record in the background without interruption 24/7 and automatically erase recordings according to your preferences. If you have experienced something that you wish to keep on record, simply "stop" the recording and the last files recorded will be kept on your device.

Features:

- Check out the premium version for advanced features.

- Secretly record in the background (no notifications or visible clues).

- Records 5 minutes and stores it into a file in the /Proof/ directory on your device's storage.

- Keeps only the last recording (automatic delete of older recordings)

- Automatic restart of the recording even if the app is force closed or removed from the task manager.

- Automatic pause of the recording in case you receive a call.

Tips:

- You can find the recorded files in the /Proof/ folder of your device's storage.

- Keep in mind that this app takes control of your microphone. If you need to use it to do a voice search, send a voice message via an app or record a video with your camera app, you will need to disable the recording first.

- If the recording process is stopped (for instance if it was killed by Android) and restarted, the last files will not be deleted. You will have to delete them manually. Since the app operates secretely, it has to continuously fight against the Android system especially when in sleep mode as the system attempts to kill any process taking up resources and cpu.

Permissions:

- "Modify or delete the contents of your USB storage" is necessary in order to save/delete the recordings to your device.

- "Run at startup" is required in order to start the recording when you turn on your device.

- "Read phone state" is required to be able to pause and resume the recording when you receive/make a call.

- "Record audio" is necessary to, well... record the audio!

- "Wake lock" is to help the app to keep running.

Disclaimer:

- This app is designed to keep an audio record of accidents or other traumatising experiences that may result in legal proceedings and require an element of proof. It is not to be used to trick friends into disclosing secrets, embarassing your friends or family, or cyberbully others. Keep in mind that any misuse of this app may get you in legal trouble (see laws on privacy and data protection). We are not responsible for any misuse of this app.
