Questions
Which recordings does it clean?
Screen recordings made on an iPhone with Face ID, held upright, at whatever size iOS saved them. Recordings from an iPhone with a Home button, an iPad or a Mac aren't cleaned yet: the page says so when you drop one.
Why 9:41?
It's the time on every iPhone in Apple's own pictures, so a 9:41 bar reads as a clean one at a glance. The clean bar also shows full signal, full Wi-Fi and a full battery.
Is it really free?
Yes. Cleaning is free, with no sign-up and no watermark. Putting the clean recording on an iPhone in the editor is free too; exporting that mockup video is part of Pro.
What about frames where my app hides the status bar?
They stay as they were. The clean bar is drawn only on frames that showed a bar, so a photo shown full screen keeps its top. The Dynamic Island is taken out of every frame, since iOS draws it over everything.
Does it keep the sound and the quality?
It keeps the sound and your recording's size. The video is saved as an H.264 MP4 at a steady 30 or 60 frames a second, whichever is closer to your recording's own; iOS records at an uneven rate, which some editors stumble on.
Can I record without the status bar in the first place?
On a Mac, recording the phone through QuickTime Player shows a clean 9:41 bar, and Xcode's Simulator can set one. A recording made on the phone itself always shows the real bar, and that's what this cleans.
