I replaced a $1,200 a year call recording tool. Mine runs on

$0 a year
See what I built ↓

Thirty-five seconds. From hang-up to Google Sheet.

Why it runs without anyone watching.

Fifteen phones, one Sheet

Each phone reads its own call log, finds the recording the dialer already made, and files both. One row per call, newest on top, with the Drive link in the row.

Nothing left to pay for

No server to rent and no licence per phone. It runs inside the Google account the company already had.

Built for the bad days

Phones lose signal and uploads repeat. Each case has an answer, so a call is never lost and never filed twice.

Row now, link a minute later

The recordings stay with the company

Calls go from the phone straight into the company's own Sheet and Drive. No vendor in between holds the audio.

The phone cannot put it to sleep

Android brands shut down background apps to save battery. So the sync has many independent wake-ups, and any one of them is enough to catch up.
