Native voice call recorder for SailfishOS. The latest version is 0.7.4.

This application requires SailfishOS >= 2.0.4.

This application is designed for unattended usage. Once properly installed, it records every GSM call you make or receive. The UI application doesn't need to be run to make this happen.

Please refer to the wiki for usage instructions and troubleshooting.

There are support & discussion threads at TMO, jollausers, TJC.

Hi would like to report a minor bug on 2.0.0.10 hopefully it would be fixed in the next update as well. The recording daemon ramdomly desactivates itself until it is manually restored, can that fix in the next update as well? Thanks

DameCENO's picture

The update did not solve the daemon being deactivated randomly, and as Schturman pointed out, has to be related to the service failing after lipstick restart, when shall this issue be resolved?

MoritzJT's picture

I think the same behaviour is currently occuring on SFOS 2.0.4/Fiskarsinjoki on Jolla C at least. The daemon randomly shuts down and no calls are recorded thereafter.

I hope it can be fixed, because I'd rather have your app in place than the OS native solution offered on Jolla C

 

Thank you already!

Looks like the last Saifish update 2.0.1.7 broke the recording function again. :( 

dpurgin's picture

You're right, it has stopped working, I'm currently working on a fix

Hi
I don't know if this bug or should be, but after lipstick restart it automatically disable service. To start it again I need to open app -> Recording daemon -> press "Active".
Here is output after lipstick restat, service show failed:

Many thanks for this app.

I have still a little suggestion: can you color the save / discard buttons (a bit for example save in greenish and discard in reddish), I sometimes tap the wrong one when being to much in stress...

Hi there, With the latest sailfish os 2.0 update, the "ask user notification" after each call is blank (as in, UI is not visible but its overlay is). Has anybody reported this issue?

I assume, an upgrade to new UI components is required to fix this issue. @dpurgin, any ideas?

DameCENO's picture

Great app bro, but there is dthis bug of autostarting of the recording daemon after system update 1.1.6.27 hope it has been fixed  with this update

M_Bln's picture

At first: many thanks - great app.
Can you add an option to easily activate/deactivate the blacklist/whitelist? So one hasn't to delete entries when a given number should be (not) recorded once.

dpurgin's picture

Hi,

thanks for comment and using the Call Recorder.

Can you please go into details how the feature should look like or should be used? Say, an incoming call interface is seen on your device, what is supposed to be done next? We may use cover action but the UI program must be launched.

There is an option, by the way, that asks you to choose whether the call should be saved or removed after each call. A dialog similar to connectivity dialog is shown, and you won't need any additional actions to be performed before or during the call. You can enable this option by going into Settings -> Storage and checking Require Approval

Hi!

I keep getting this error with every install:

Error on file "/home/deploy/installroot/usr/share/applications/*.desktop": No such file or directory
warning: %post(harbour-callrecorder-0.6.0-2.armv7hl) scriptlet failed, exit status 1

Other than that the application works for me -- more or less.

dpurgin's picture

Hi,

thanks for reporting! Does this appear on update or on clean installation (first remove, then install)?

msava's picture

Both!

MSH's picture

Hi, 

It looks like there is compatibility issue with Update 14 (1.1.6.27). Recording functionality cannot be set on, not automatically or manually. 

dpurgin's picture

Hi, thanks for reporting. This issue was already resolved a couple of weeks ago, I'm working on preparing the update.

MSH's picture

Hi, working again! Thank you for quick update. 

Ankita's picture

Hello,Thanks, This app sounds great! I would like to suggest one app name Total Recall which allows recording of calls automatically and that too with no beep sound. Check this app- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.killermobile.totalrecall

clouseau's picture

a feature request: log rotation - namely, an option to delete old recordings automatically on a number or date basis

dpurgin's picture

Hi,

thanks for request, I've added it to github issues as #19.

Cheers

jjaone's picture

Hi @dpurgin, I just made a Finnish translation to your great app at: https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/harbour-callrecorder/, in which I translated the name of the app as "Puhelutallennus", but maybe the orginal name could be better to be shown in the Home screen and Cover. Feel free to use and comment the translation and I'll fix it if needed. Cheers and thanks for your efforts for giving us this very useful app :)

dpurgin's picture

Hi,

Thanks for your work! I'll release it with the next update. I think you've read my Facebook comment on name translation :-)

purplewakanda's picture

Awesome app. It should come to the Jolla store. Thank you :)

raj_faisal2004's picture

Hey..many many thanks for such an essential app..i have waited for this app for longtime and was requesting everywhere for this help..its working great and fine..i would like to ask for an option which would be very helpful i think. that is addition of SEARCH option so that if i want to select a specific name/number's call recording then i can easily find all recordings of the person/number and then carry on with the next option like deleting, listening etc..hope it can be done..thanks again..cheerS ..
