Recito

Updates

What's new in Recito

Every release, newest first. The App Store only ever shows the current version's notes, so this is the whole history in one place.

1.15.2 · November 2026

  • Sharper 4K (Recito Pro): 4K now records at a higher bitrate with lighter stabilization, for more detail and a less cropped frame. Handheld 4K may show a little more movement, and 4K files are larger.
  • Captions leave out your script's marks: brackets and asterisks no longer appear in captioned videos.

1.15.1 · October 2026

  • Try captions free: your first 3 saved videos can have word-by-word captions, in every style. Recito shows how many free captioned saves you have left. After that, captions are part of Recito Pro.

1.15.0 · October 2026

  • Captions (Recito Pro): after a take, Recito times your script's words to your voice, on your device, and shows them word by word. Pick a style and a position, check any line Recito wasn't sure of, fix a word with Edit text, then save with the captions in the video.
  • Captions need iOS 26 and on-device speech recognition for your script's language.

1.14.0 · October 2026

  • Recito now fills the iPhone Duo's open screen, and works in Split View and Stage Manager on iPad.

1.13.2 · October 2026

  • Minor fixes and improvements.

1.13.1 · October 2026

  • Small improvements to sharing Recito from Settings.

1.13.0 · October 2026

  • Smooth looks more natural: it evens out skin tone and keeps real skin texture, your beard and the sharpness of your eyes and lips.

1.12.0 · October 2026

  • Recito is now available in Russian and Ukrainian.

1.11.0 · October 2026

  • Apple Watch remote, part of Recito Pro: start, pause and finish a take from your wrist.
  • Ready for iPhone Duo: Recito fills the screen, folded or open.
  • Size and Speed now sit on a dark plate, so they stay readable over a bright background.
  • Preview scroll starts again from the top at the end, so you can rehearse as often as you like.

1.10.0 · October 2026

  • Move now opens your folders as a tree you can search, with your recent folders on top and New Folder right there — two folders with the same name show where each one is.
  • Folders move too: swipe one and tap Move — or, on iPad, choose Move in a folder's menu.
  • On iPhone: to move or delete several scripts at once, tap Sort, then Select scripts.
  • Voice-following now says when it needs Dictation, and where to turn it on.

1.9.0 · October 2026

  • A wider view: on the Record screen, tap 1× beside the flip button for 0.5×, the ultra-wide lens — more of you and the room when the device is close. It shows when your camera has one.
  • Saving a take recorded with Smooth is up to three times faster.
  • Appearance: the script steps aside while the panel is open, so you see your whole face as you adjust Smooth and Brightness.
  • iPad with a keyboard: no more bar of buttons across the bottom of the window while you type.
  • After flipping the camera, a take recorded sideways comes out the right way up.
  • Voice-following keeps your place more reliably: a misheard word no longer sends the script ahead, and it finds you again if you skip ahead or start partway through.
  • On the Mac: saving a take recorded with Smooth is nearly twice as fast, shows how long it will take and keeps your Mac awake until it is done — or click Save Without Smooth to save it as recorded, straight away.

1.8.1 · October 2026

  • Saving a take recorded with Smooth now shows how long it will take, and keeps the screen on until it is done. No time to wait? Tap Save Without Smooth to save the take as recorded, straight away.
  • If Smooth can’t be applied to a take, you can now save it without Smooth instead of being stuck.

1.8.0 · September 2026

  • iPad and Mac: your scripts in a sidebar, with the script you are writing beside it. Prefer the list? Settings › Scripts › Sidebar turns it off (and the list's sidebar button brings it back).
  • Put scripts in your own order: Sort › Manual, then Arrange scripts.
  • Closing the Record screen no longer freezes the app for a few seconds (up to 9 s measured on an iPad; it was there in 1.7.1 too).
  • Remotes fixed (iPhone and iPad): every button on a Bluetooth camera remote, the volume buttons and Camera Control now start, pause and continue your take — including one-button remotes that ended the take in 1.7.1. Finish with the checkmark.

1.7.1 · September 2026

  • Use a remote on iPhone and iPad: on the Record screen, a Bluetooth camera remote, the volume buttons or Camera Control start and pause your take. Volume down finishes it.
  • Keyboards work too, on iPhone, iPad and Mac: Space starts and pauses, and during a take the arrow keys move the script. So do most page turners and presentation clickers.
  • Bigger text: the Size slider goes further, up to 72 on iPhone and 128 on a large iPad or a big Mac window.
  • A one-time card after updating shows how.

1.7.0 · September 2026

  • Brightness in Appearance, on iPhone and iPad: it lifts the camera's own exposure when your room is dim, rather than filtering the picture.
  • Smooth now works evenly on every skin tone.
  • Moving and resizing the teleprompter is smooth: it follows your finger or pointer like a window.
  • The Record screen fits smaller iPhones, and the script fades out at the bottom of the teleprompter instead of being cut through a line.
  • If camera or microphone access is off, the Record screen says so and takes you to the right Settings page.
  • On Mac, the camera picture appears in about two seconds, and choosing "Rear" as the default camera can no longer leave the screen dark.

1.6.2 · September 2026

  • Fixed on Mac: with the teleprompter moved to the very top of the window, its “Move & resize” button could not be clicked, so the script could not be moved again.
  • New installs start with Voice off: the script scrolls at the speed you set, and Voice is there when you want it. If you already use Voice, nothing changes.

1.6.1 · September 2026

  • Easier to see what's switched on: Preview and the tool buttons on the Record screen now light up solid when active, instead of a faint tint that disappeared over the camera.

1.6.0 · September 2026

  • Voice moves into its own icon beside Appearance, above the length row. Its panel holds the
  • The Settings switch for Voice is gone. A stored "off" from 1.5.x is ignored so nobody is left
  • Appearance: Smooth with a strength slider, previewed live, applied at full resolution on save.

1.5.1 · September 2026

  • If your script is in a language your device cannot recognise offline, Recito now says so before you start — and the script keeps scrolling at the speed you set instead of stopping.
  • Speech permission is asked for when you tap Record or Preview, not the moment the screen opens.
  • Turned speech recognition off by mistake? The notice now has an Open Settings button.
  • The Voice switch shows when it is actually listening, on the record screen and in the recording timer.
  • If recognition fails repeatedly, the script is handed back to the speed slider instead of retrying silently.

1.5.0 · September 2026

  • Your script now follows your voice. Start reading and it keeps pace with you — speed up, slow down, pause to think, and the words stay where your eyes are. There is no speed to set and nothing to hold.
  • The word you are reading is marked as you go. Choose whether it sits at the top of the band or in the middle, next to the Voice switch on the record screen.
  • Recognition happens entirely on your device and never leaves it. The language comes from the script itself, so there is nothing to choose, and the app says plainly when your device cannot recognise it.
  • Scrub with your finger mid-take and it picks up from where you scrolled, not from where it had got to.
  • Turn it off for a single take with the Voice switch, or entirely in Settings.

1.4.0 · September 2026

  • The script now follows Settings → Display & Brightness → Text Size. Set a larger text size and the script you read and edit gets larger with it.
  • With the keyboard up, the takes strip and the Record button get out of the way so the script has the screen — the fix people using Display Zoom or a large font needed most. Record moves into the keyboard bar next to Done.
  • Tapping Create script and going straight back no longer leaves an empty script in your list, and any already there are cleared. A script with a recording but no words is kept.
  • New Folder is now available from the empty state, so folders no longer need a script to exist first.
  • Italian: the whole app and the App Store listing.

1.3.9 · September 4, 2026

  • Turn your phone sideways and the script turns with it. In landscape you can move and resize the teleprompter the way you already can on iPad, and where you put it is remembered.
  • Reviewing takes: Save to Photos and Delete now sit at opposite ends, and the arrows moved to the edges of the screen where your thumbs already are.
  • Takes waiting on a decision are marked DRAFT, and the one you are watching shows its number clearly.
  • With no time limit set, the ring around the shutter shows your parts again.

1.3.8 · September 2, 2026

  • Record for as long as you need. The length picker has a new "No limit" setting alongside the timed ones, and it is free for everyone.
  • Before a long take, Recito now tells you roughly how much recording your device has room for — while you can still do something about it.
  • If storage runs low mid-take, the recording stops cleanly and keeps what you have rather than failing at the end.
  • Saving a take that will not fit now says so plainly, instead of blaming the watermark.

1.3.7 · August 30, 2026

  • Saved takes now carry a badge showing they are in Photos, so you can tell at a glance what is backed up and what is not.
  • Your takes are ordered by when you saved them, instead of when they were recorded.
  • Swipe left or right to move between takes. Save has moved out from under your paging finger, so you can no longer hit it by accident on your way past.
  • The watermark on free-tier videos is clearer and sits properly in the corner of the frame.
  • The app now appears as Recito. The first Mac release installed under an internal name — this build corrects it in place, so you will not end up with two copies.
  • Saved takes carry a badge showing they are in Photos, and your takes are ordered by when you saved them rather than when they were recorded.
  • Drag left or right across a take to move between them. Save has moved out from under that gesture, so you can no longer hit it by accident.
  • The watermark on free-tier videos is clearer and sits properly in the corner of the frame.

1.3.6 · August 2026

  • Recito now runs on iPad — full screen, in landscape or portrait, with the teleprompter sized to read from across the room.
  • Choose your recording quality before you shoot: 1080p for everyone, 4K with Pro.
  • Playback now shows your whole frame, exactly as it was recorded — nothing cropped away.
  • A simpler review after each take: keep it, discard it, or just close and come back later. Your takes stay attached to the script they came from.
  • See what your unsaved takes are using, and clear them in one go, under Settings → Storage.
  • Video stays upright when you turn your device mid-shoot.
  • On iPad, move and resize the teleprompter box: drag it anywhere, or pull a corner to resize.
  • In Settings → Experiments: choose which microphone records.

1.3.5 · August 2026

  • Interrupted by a call? Your take now pauses instead of quietly recording nothing — everything you'd already recorded is kept, and the prompter is still on your word.
  • Takes recorded in several parts now always save complete — a part with no sound could previously go missing from the finished video.
  • Your speed and text size are remembered between takes, so you set your pace once.
  • The pace coach is accurate on takes you stop partway through.
  • Front-camera video is now consistent from your very first take.
  • More of the app speaks your language.

1.3.4 · August 2026

  • Pause and resume a take. The prompter freezes on the word you stopped at, so you carry on from exactly there — and you still get ONE video.
  • The record button now pauses. Tap the checkmark to finish your take.
  • Recorded a bad bit? Delete just that part and record it again — the script rewinds with it.
  • The ring around the record button shows the parts of your take.
  • Adjust speed while paused, and hold "Preview speed" to try it before you carry on.

1.3.3 · August 2026

  • Recito now speaks your language — the app and the App Store listing are available in French, German, Spanish and Portuguese.
  • Small fixes and polish.

1.3.2 · August 2026

  • Delete a take right from its preview — watch it back, tap the bin, done. No more hunting for where takes get removed.
  • Share Recito with someone who reads on camera, and rate it, straight from Settings.
  • Small fixes and polish.

1.3.1 · July 2026

  • Your screen stays awake while you record — Auto-Lock no longer dims the display or cuts a take short mid-script.
  • Clearing takes off a script is easier to find — tap Edit above your takes to remove a draft or a saved link.

Dates before 1.3.7 are given by month. They are taken from when each release was finalised rather than the day Apple published it, and a month is the honest precision for them.
